LA DISPUTE is a five-piece band from Grand Rapids, MI. Most frequently referred to as post-hardcore (but sometimes also progressive rock and screamo), LA DISPUTE has spent the last year of its existence writing and recording their first full length album Somewhere At The Bottom Of The River Between Vega And Altair. Hoping to accurately display their growth as individuals and as an artistic unit, they have created an end product that encourages the listener to think and feel. Drawing its title from an Asian folktale, Somewhere attempts to prompt discussion regarding the aspects of ourselves that prevent us from maintaining our happiness. By documenting both their own experiences and that of those around them, LA DISPUTE musically encourage the listeners to expand their notions of music and art through time signatures, tempos, dynamics, and song structures.

The result of countless sleepless nights, exhaustingly precise recording sessions, and a diligence bordering psychosis, Somewhere is far and a way the band’s most mature, articulate, and diverse release thus farâ€"expanding significantly upon the groundwork from its previous two short releases. Recorded at Studiotte in Grand Rapids by Joel and Troy Otte with artwork by Nick Satinover, Somewhere At The Bottom Of The River Between Vega And Altair attempts to display an unceasing passion for art, emotion, love, community, and any other aspect of life that inspires humanity to create for the better.
