A punk band from my neck of the woods (Cambridgeshire, UK), Excellent Adventure were formed in 2009 by members of Matter of Distance and Vanilla Pod, but I wasn't in the UK when these guys were active, and ended up stumbling on this record via the Kill Your Own Archive (which is awesome and well worth checking out in of itself).
Featuring a sound that's poppy melodic hardcore with noodley metal-esque guitar moments and a few indie-folkish numbers, the band's sole full-length is a bit of a cracker, with really strong musicianship and impressive songwriting.
After breaking up at the end of 2011 the band reformed in 2014, recording one more song ("Long River", also on their bandcamp), and are still together, although haven't released anything further...
Which is a shame, as all this is rather good...
