The United Sons Of Toil, High Hopes, and A Farewell To Silence at Memorial Union Rathskeller
The United Sons Of Toil pretty much instantly became one of the best bands in Madison with the 2007 release of Hope Is Not A Strategy, their first album of austere-yet-epic math rock paired with excoriating leftist screams on behalf of the proletariat. The trio followed up nicely with last year's Until Lions Have Their Historians, Tales Of The Hunt Shall Always Glorify The Hunter—but 2009-2010 might be its best period yet. This year found the band playing more shows in town, taking a short Midwestern tour, and debuting more songs for a third record, all while keeping up the earnest live intensity and supremely violent sonics that a small but dedicated crowd of local Toil fans have grown to love.
