Live Show Review Back in December of 2024 I was able to play a show with Victoria's COUP D'ÉTAT for their debut album release show in the fuckin' half pipe of a skate shop. It was incredibly sick (and linked here). Fast forward almost a year later and I'm doing it again, this time with our Victoria screamo brothers A RECORDED DAWN in tow for the COUP D'ÉTAT sophomore EP release show. A buncha people dressed up 1) to have fun and 2) to save money on the door, so you'll see from the videos that it was a very animated and interesting night, with the highlight being when the The Man with the Yellow Hat accidentally amputated Curious George in a wild pit frenzy (this can be found in the first MOURN RECIF clip).
MOURN RECIF
This was probably our favourite show thus far. Half pipes already start a band on third base, and we came to have fun so our set was pretty lively and we unveiled a new song alongside three other unrecorded jams. If you've been following us at all you'll likely notice a much heavier sound poured over our previously melodic-driven screamo, cuz we like our breakdowns and panic chords...mmmmmmmm.

A RECORDED DAWN
As Elle from Coup D'état said during their set, A RECORDED DAWN is arguably the best screamo band on Vancouver Island, I couldn't agree more. Their transformation from decent emo/slowcore to this dark, brooding screamo/post-hardcore/metallic hardcore has been one helluva fun journey to behold. This is their newest song and it fucking rules, as does that Mulholland Drive intro.

COUP D'ÉTAT
The first Vancouver Island screamo band I heard about once starting Mourn Recif was COUP D'ÉTAT as at least two members were singing their praises before I ever heard or saw them. When I jammed their EP I was interested, but after seeing them live and hearing their masters of '?' I was like...holy fuck, they've only been a band for like six months! It's been about 18 months as of writing this, so these new songs showcase the band's progression and the new EP is awesome. In addition to catching "On Staying Put..." on video, I also snagged their new song titled "Survivorship Bias" which is a fucking banger and already one of my fave from the band.
