Taken from the absolute 100, Absolutepunk.net’s list of 100 bands to keep an eye on in 2009:

Brendan Rivera - Mamaroneck, NY
Why We Like:
The frontman from previous Absolute 100 band Looking Glass Wars, Brendan Rivera is just too good at what he does to not find a way to sneak his way into this feature again. Now he’s doing his own thing, and he’s once again letting the concepts that rule his mind run wild in album format. The newest installment in his solo venture is Body of Land, a full-length that meshes together dark pop mega-structures with everything from hopping melodies, flighty electronics and saddles blazin’ with complex guitar work.
RIYL: Brand New, Looking Glass Wars, Alkaline Trio, My Chemical Romance

 

“Body of Land” is the debut solo album from Looking Glass Wars, guitarist and songwriter Brendan Rivera. Looking Glass Wars was named one of AbsolutePunk.net’s absolute 100 bands in 2008. Body of Land touches on material similar to the sound of Looking Glass Wars but also combines new elements unique to this release. With 15 tracks varying from the driving and loud full band intro of “Miles” to the stripped down, acoustic guitar and vocals of “Faux Plastique” this album is not one to be missed.

Recommended if you like: Brand New, Alkaline Trio, Looking Glass Wars, and amazing guitar playing.
