La Dispute is a five-piece Post-Hardcore band from Grand Rapids, Michigan that formed in 2004. La Dispute consists of lead vocalist Jordan Dreyer, drummer Brad Vander Lugt, guitarists Chad Sterenberg and Kevin Whittemore and bass guitarist Adam Vass. At present, their albums are distributed internationally by Epitaph, and were formerly distributed by No Sleep Records.Their debut EP, Vancouver, was released in 2006 on Friction Records. They temporarily signed to Forest Life records and released two extended plays in May 2008 before releasing their debut album, Somewhere at the Bottom of the River Between Vega and Altair in November 2008 on No Sleep Records. They released three more extended plays before their second album, Wildlife.The Band is known for playing a brand of post-hardcore indebted to Emo, Jazz, Blues, and Metalcore, with their lyrics delivered in a spoken-word or screamed style. Somewhere at the Bottom of the River drew its inspiration from the "asian folktale" told in the song "Four", and prominently featured uncommon time signatures and screamed vocals.Wildlife was a more subdued and introspective record that focused on stories and issues that the band had encountered. It dropped the complex rhythms of the first album and featured more melodic elements and the band playing in unison.La Dispute released their album Rooms Of The House, on March 18, 2014 to positive reception. The album was released independently of record labels, rather through the band's own independent label named Better Living.In 2019, the band released their first release with long-renowned punk label Epitaph Records, titled Panorama, to critical acclaim.Compare and contrast with MeWithoutYou, and Slint.

New Sound Album

comment
New Sound Album: Wildlife was more a more wholesome effort than its predecessor, and concerned more with melody and chord progression. There's a lot more of the band playing in unison. This change was viewed as positive, and the album garnered critical acclaim.

Concept Album

comment
Concept Album: Somewhere at the 'Bottom of the River used the asian folktale told in "Four" as a point of departure and focused on strained relationships; Wildlife was a collection of "short stories" that dealt with tragedy, grief, and how we cope with them. "Rooms Of The House" is based on the concepts of time and space and how we perceive them.

Uncommon Time: Frequent in songs written before Wildlife, which deliberately toned this down and went with a more "synchronized" approach.

The Un-Reveal
 La Dispute (Music) / int_5a3b8032
comment
The Unreveal: "King Park" ends with the narrator leaving before finding out if the young man killed himself and does not reveal it. It also doesn't explain or even touch on the narrator's powers to view events back in time or far away without being physically present, or even who or what the narrator is.

Driven to Suicide: May be the ultimate fate of the boy in "King Park." The narrator departs from the scene, unwilling to "know how it ends." He did.

Fractured Fairy Tale

comment
Fractured Fairy Tale: Done to an "asian folktale" in "Four." The same folktale later became a "jumping off point" for the album Somewhere at the Bottom of the River Between Vega and Altair and The Worth of the World.

Grief Song: Averted by the songs on Wildlife, which are less about grief itself and more about how we cope with it. Played straight on ''Somewhere at the 'Bottom of the River," which is a concept album about strained relationships.
