France definitely has some good bands. Youth Avoiders, Gasmask Terror, The Night Stalkers, and State Poison just to name a few. We had a short period of time in Richmond a little while ago where there seemed to be French bands rolling through pretty often. It was awesome

The new Owen record is out, and it's really solid. Also, I don't normally like pop-punk all that much, but I'm loving the new Captain, We're Sinking.

Y'all should give Done With You a listen http://donewithyou.bandcamp.com/ They had a kickstarter recently for a 7" and I just got it in the mail today. It rules.

The Oblivians qualify as punk right? Because their first album in 15 years, Desperation, came out a couple weeks ago. It's up on Spotify and worth a listen if you're into garage-punk. It isn't as raw as their earlier work, but then again, they're older than they used to be. A couple tracks, the title track in particular, still sound like they used to. Others feel like rougher turns on their various solo projects. I don't mean that to be a bad thing. I'm a fan of anything that Yarber, Freidl and Cartwright do, together or apart, so I love this album too. As far as best tracks go, I would say that I'll Be Gone, Desperation and Little War Child are my favorites, but the whole album is on like 30 minutes long, so you might as well listen to the whole thing.

This might be a stupid question, but what does the acronym K.E.N. stand for, in a punk/hardcore context? I found this signed Black Flag picture on someone's blog and Henry appears to have signed with just the acronym. I don't think I've seen it before and I've not the foggiest idea what it means. Kill Everyone Now? Krakens Eat Nutella?

Speaking of, you guys should all be listening to the band K.E.N. Mode if you're in to noisy heavy stuff. Tim Singer (Deadguy, Kiss it Goodbye) and Dave Verellen (Botch, Narrows) both have guest vocal spots on a couple tracks.

Finally checked out the new Harm's Way EP, and it is hard. Really excited to see these guys at Fluff now. The EP is really heavy and the songs/riffs are really good. 20 minutes is the perfect length for a tough guy HxC release in my book. Can't wait to get annihilated by a straight edge vegan body builder who is 5x my size in the pit.

https://www.facebook.com/pages/No-Way-for-Harms-Way/273544886120079quote:Every year, bands, who represent the lovely normal state of society and the hardcore „scene“, are invited to play at Fluff Fest. It would be very utopical to belief that we could find a place on this planet that is free from the sexist, male-dominated everyday life that is manifested in our society. But we really wish for Fluff Fest, a DIY festival with antifascist aspiration, that this situation won't be forwarded even more. Antifascism, to us, means not only fighting fascists and (neo)nazis, but also the system that's opressing all of us and it's mechanics, like the socialdarwinism found in Harm's Way's lyrics. Again and again for example homless people are killed by supporters of this ideology (for example Neonazis). In a socialdarwinistic concept, they are seen as weak and without a use, so they don't have the right to exist in the eyes of their perpetrators. We, as antifascists, believe that an inhumane worldview like this should not be given a stage, nor a place to diskuss about it or not even the possibility to be apathetic about this topic!

Well uh... that just sucked the fun out of Harm's Way for me. In all seriousness, I agree with the quote you posted, the macho bs is ridiculous and we shouldn't be supporting sexist attitudes. I just wanted to enjoy some meaty metallic hardcore riffs, because that EP is really good. Did anything actually happen after that shitstorm where Fluff booked Defeater last year?

I didn't get to go last year but I saw a bunch of pictures of people with huge banners and stuff in the crowd. I was kind of bummed they ended up letting them play, but it's very cool that there was a dialogue about it and everything Anyways I like Harm's Way, that EP is pretty sick. The macho stuff is boring and dumb, but at least it doesn't match the crowd at Fluff so it will still be fun. It's really cool that somebody made this Facebook page and nobody is talking them down like it's bullshit though. I don't think I've ever been part of a scene like that.

I was happy with their decision to let them play in the end. I'm glad they got challenged on their statements and stuff though, like you said, it's great they had a dialogue about it. And yeah, your points RE: Harm's Way are good. I don't think anyone's taking them down yet though, because that page has all of 8 likes. The shitstorm about Defeater was all over the Fluff page.

I'm trying to find the image used in a specific album art or an image similar enough to have the same aesthetic tone. The image is of The Pogue's album "Waiting for Herb." The kicker is I'd like it without the text. I'm thinking it may be impossible, and if there is a better place on SA to ask this, please let me know. Making a similar post in Creative Convention "stupid little questions..." thread. And yeah my username is a reference. I made it when I was young, not realizing I'd ever poke my head into the music community and be all embarrassed for unoriginality.

Well, a part of the European hardcore scene is pretty serious about their ideals, "Hardcore is more than music" etc. Unfortunately, that sometimes leads to silly infighting or controversy about petty stuff. Still, I think it is cool that people try to be conscious about what is going on.

Guess I shouldn't have given them the benefit of the doubt and just canceled my order. Saw The Saddest Landscape tonight. They're always awesome live, but it was kind of a bummer that there was hardly anyone there and it was just me and one other dude singing along. All of the other bands gave me a 90s alt-rock vibe, I guess that's the in thing right now. Except Night Owls, who I'd never heard of, they were pretty cool but didn't have any merch.

The words "privilege" and "safe space" were never used.

Has anyone been listening to the new letlive. album The Blackest Beautiful? Came out July 9th, here's the video to the first single (and also first track) "Banshee (Ghost Fame)": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3wnxFJUZtp4 I'm loving the album. It's got a really interesting production style, almost like it was recorded with a bunch of dynamic mics and old compressors, and everything was just turned on and up. Not meant for studio monitors, more meant for a ghetto blaster. But the songs themselves are just as interesting, with lyrics jumping between self-deprecating and treasonous, the guitars riding around between post-hardcore and southern rock, and the drums just beating the poo poo out of your face, squeezing and stretching whatever mastering compressor they ended up using to mix the record. Honestly I hadn't been this excited about a scene-y record in a hot minute, but on first listen, when Jason says "If home is where the heart is / then what do I do with this empty chest / and if home is where the heart is / it's a crying shame we can't afford the rent", I unwittingly thrust both fists in the air  Also, I was really digging the more classic, almost sentimental avenue that Issues was going with the Black Diamond EP, but their new single "Hooligans" is making me believe they're going to drastically dive in the direction of daft dubstep drops and silly club-referencing. I'd rather drop that rear end to the flo' in the clurb listening to Lil Wayne or Meek Mill or some poo poo. But what can I expect from essentially what's turning into a nu-metal band? I wish it could be originality and purpose, but I'm doubting it. Still gonna love "Her Monologue" to death though.

I know Im late to this Harms Way issue but that quote from Fluff fest seems like they are taking a few of the themes of being militant straight edge band and applying it to social-Darwinism. There isnt any mention of homeless people in the lyrics, its just the people who put on Fluff Fest looking for a reason to start some drama.
