Boston's Daniel Striped Tiger is a band I've been on the fence about for a while. I've listened to just about everything they've released and it's all pretty good. You know? Pretty good. If a DST record is playing, I will enjoy it no doubt. If it isn't playing, I'm probably not going to put it on; until now. "No Difference" is pretty much what I imagine of whenever anyone says 'post-hardcore' (mostly when I say it). It has all the necessary elements: Angular rhythms, minor chord abuse, flucuating meter, artsy fartsy bits, actual melody, yelling but not screaming. This record is far better than I expected or even hoped. I am sorry Daniel Striped Tiger, I should never have doubted you. Thank you very much.
