Eli's Band Shirt Collection: A Series of Retrospectives - Trophy Scars

To commemorate last Friday's Artist of the Day, Trickster Fox, I've decided for my next retrospective to focus on the progenitor of said band, Trophy Scars.  Well, maybe it has something to do with me being out of clean shirts and my Trophy Scars tee being what I wore today.  But I digress.

What this little series of retrospectives has given me the opportunity to do is revisit some of the bands that I love.  The very same bands, mind you, that I wish to let everyone know I love by having a big ol' logo and picture on my person.  But this edition gives me the great pleasure to talk about a band near and dear to me, and one of the most unabashedly creative musical groups out there today.

Eli's Band Shirt Collection: A Series of Retrospectives - The Sound of Animals Fighting

In cleaning out my closet, I've come to find that a startling number of my shirts are actually band shirts--who would have thought?  So, in an effort to revist the bands I once loved enough at one point to purchase a T-shirt of, I will be revisiting one album from each representative band.  And with any luck, you my dear readers will find something to love as well.

We begin with one of the stranger, more experimental bands--The Sound of Animals Fighting.  TSOAF were less an actual band, and more a collective of musicians hailing from various parts of the musical spectrum.  Most notable are Anthony Green of Circa Survive fame and Craig Owens of Chiodos infamy, and joing them are members from bands such as Rx Bandits.  Starting out as a post-hardcore act, TSOAF evolved into a bizarre and confounding experimental troupe, with their final release acting as a beautiful mixture of the two.
