Puff Pieces by UNDER THE PIER
"Remember in the early-to-mid-2000s when mathcore was coming up? Under the Pier sure as hell do, and they're bringing it back in a very sincere way with their new record Puff Pieces. If you're a fan of bands like Into the Moat, The Red Chord, and Botch, then you're going to absolutely love this." MetalInjection.net
:...the young band’s off-kilter (redundant term, who’s got a better one?) and shocking surges of energy translate into some wickedly entertaining mathcore that Into The Moat [sic] fans will find warmth and comfort in." HeavyBlogIsHeavy.com
"The band pack a super heavy ferocity right in with the intricately reverberating, gut-rattling chaos that might soundtrack flailing through the air after getting kicked over the side a cliff." CapturedHowls.com
“While still leaving room for improvement in terms of album flow, Puff Pieces is a top notch showcase of technical mastery and inharmonious mayhem that I already see the mathcore community drooling over.” MetalTrenches.com
“Puff Pieces, the debut full-length album from Baltimore mathematicians Under the Pier, is abrasive and psychotic in all the right ways. Heavily influenced by their forefathers in the mathcore scene, Under the Pier have bright ideas and technical ability, and this LP showcases them at their most ferocious.” KillBoringMusic.com
"Everything about this band is what I love in music, what I love in heavy metal." Unsigned Showcase
