Native Announce US Tourdates w/ La Dispute

Announce US Tourdates w/ La Dispute in Support of Debut Album, "Wrestling Moves," out January 26th on Sargent House

There's something about the age-to-talent ratio that makes the post-punk of the barely legal Indiana quartet Native both impressive and genuine. Perhaps it's the group's intelligent guitar work, which recalls the geometric riffs of Jawbox and Faraquet - two bands that are decidedly unhip to the eighteen-to-twenty-year-old demographic to which the members of Native belong. Or maybe it's the fact that vocalist Bobby Markos' yelps sound more like a pissed Ian MacKaye than a Warped Tour screamo outfit. But Native's debut EP, We Delete; Erase, is more than just a release full of potential: It's the sound of a newly hatched rock band taking its first flight and landing firmly on its feet. - Ryan Wasoba / The Riverfront Times

The brand-new four piece, Native, is making noise even before their first full-length. Their self-released debut EP, We Delete; Erase, has been recently unleashed online, and their fresh, confident sound is filling their listeners with hope for some great things to come. - CMJ

For a band just a little more than a year old, Native play with the confidence and prowess of a group of lifers. - Alternative Press

It lands somewhere between a pissed off Minus the Bear and a caged up Botch. - Surfing Magazine

The youngest addition to the Sargent House roster, Native was born in the Summer of 2007 in Northest Indiana. Since then, they've managed to self-release their much acclaimed EP, 2008's We Delete; Erase garnering them the attention of UK label Big Scary Monsters who released it in the UK and Sargent House who have since then re-relased it in the States. Native have toured non-stop building an admiral following in a short amount of time through their unforgettable live shows and well executed musicianship, and have also already landed themselves spotlights in high profile publications such as NME, Alternative Press, CMJ, Surfing Magazine to name a few.

In April 2009, Native began recording their debut full-length, "Wrestling Moves," with producer Chris Common (Pelican, Mammifer, These Arms Are Snakes) at Red Room Studios in Seattle, WA. The album will see it's release in January 2010 and has already drawn comparisons to 90's post-hardcore acts The Van Pelt, Braid, Jawbox, At The Drive In, and more.
