Anyone know a good, no-nonsense punk/crust/metal/hardcore radio stream? Most punk streams I've ever come across seem to mostly play crapola, sadly enough.

Uh, I didn't realize Off Minor was around for that long, or was that popular. I saw them play, and I know two of the guys (well, not personally, they are in Yo Man, Go!). I feel like an idiot. Agent Bob fucked around with this message at 19:58 on Jan 16, 2008 |

I thought that's what you may have meant, but I wanted to make sure it wasn't some misguided stand against Amazon for some reason. Much like Chaos though, I've ordered tons of vinyl both from distros and eBay and none of them have been damaged in shipping.

The huge lack of record stores around here has caused me to resort to purchasing almost solely online. A few hundred records have gotten to me in the mail over the last few months with no problems at all. Just adding to the "ordering online is fine" sentiment.

Parachute Underwear posted:I've seen Minor Threat and Embrace vinyls at my local record shop, so I assume there are CD versions available too. Actually, what I'm hoping on finding is 7"s of these bands. I have the Minor Threat First Demo Tape 7". I want to get the Salad Days 7". My local record shop doesn't have much punk/hardcore that I recognize, but I might take another trip now that I'm aware of Embrace and Angry Samoans. I don't remember them having any of the other bands that were suggested.

The only song that could even come close to falling under "numetal" is Blood Runs Cold, which I feel is one of the weakest songs on the record. Every song off the EP is heavy and confrontational, and all the new stuff ranges from metal tinged to a loving Beatles cover that sounds like Sinners & Saints. I just feel Kill a Celebrity came out at a time where very few hardcore bands had something to say about the state of the country and the world, and Ramallah was just so in your face about it, that I loved it.

THE LUMMOX posted:Tragedy is good, beyond just the surface Botch worship. Japanese bands don't always draw a huge crowd everywhere, compared to us their touring networks are much tighter. Hard keeping them afloat with lovely shows people don't turn up to. I heard the Age tour totally slayed, kinda wish I had gone to Texas. West coast usually lucks out in that regard although the recent Forward/Warhead tour was really nice, saw them twice. Homostupids is tomorrow, Bludwulf/Pigsticker/Midnight/Rot poo poo is playing Cleveland on friday.. saturday Homostupids are playing Milwaukee and Rot poo poo is playing here. Busy weekend!

I just get bummed when Japanese bands skip the west coast and go to the east coast. We are closer god dammit. I remember last time Total Fury played the west coast they flew out for 4 days and played just 3 shows and went back home. I think that Charm/U.G. Man tour was the longest tour of Japanese bands in the US I have seen in a long time.

That was in loving AUGUST. I mean, everyone wants to see Japanese bands, so that's really a moot point, but at least you guys have a decent local scene.

Honestly I think there's a lot to be said about the smaller punk communities in the midwest - I'd rather be at a basement show than a bar any day, which is pretty much where you're going to see a band of any notoriety in California. I did manage to see Witch Hunt in a really small living room my first weekend living here (in addition to seeing them in a club with the Subhumans two days prior) that was pretty ridiculous. House/DIY shows happen out here but not as much. Not complaining, but there are definitely recognizable perks to the smaller punk communities of the midwest. I really like places on the East Coast like Philly/Baltimore/Richmond from what I've seen - very DIY/house oriented and crust-as-gently caress.

Speaking about Michigan alone: It sucks here. For example, going back to the Bloody Phoenix show I mentioned; The only reason it was a relative "sucess" was because my friends and I roped people we know, who have no interest in punk whatsoever, into coming out just so BP didn't have to play in front of 5 people. Not counting the opening bands (one of which I was in), there were maybe 25 people there. 20 of which had never heard of DIY punk, let alone BP, plus 5 punks. We promoted this show for months, and still no one gave a poo poo. It's not like BP is unknown either, I heard about other shows on their tour that were packed. So basically my point is: smaller punk communities in the midwest are great, but non-existent communities is more like it, at least here.

That's a real shame, what part of Michigan? I've played some shows in some smaller college towns on the East coast that were a blast even though there wasn't much in way of straight up punks. It seems that there are lot of kids in these towns but not necessarily a lot going on so when a show rolls into town they don't care if you're grindcore or folk punk or whatever, they just want to listen to music and get wild. One of my favorite shows I've played was somewhere in Delaware that was basically a house party with a bunch of weirdo bands playing - hardcore punk, metal, pop punk and then some band playing Cream/Toadies covers. I really like the variety that California has to offer, but there is something to be said about small town punk communities with a bunch of kids who don't give a gently caress.

Oh yeah, can anyone recommend anything in the vein of Breed/Extinction? They are one of my favorite bands but only have one EP that really stands out before they broke up. They released a split and 7" of pretty typical hardcore and then released an insanely good EP just prior to breaking up. I know some of the dudes are in Thieves but the sound is pretty different.

I am not complaining about the lack of incredible bands we have here and I am super happy to live in the Bay Area where we have a great amount of great bands. I just want Japanese bands to not skip over us. I guess I shouldn't complain about not seeing those bands when we have our own great bands.

Annoying thing in the UK is when bands don't make it over the channel due to the cost/work permits/border checks/etc. Especially with South American bands - only found out I Shot Cyrus were in Europe about three days before they were playing Holland/Belgium and couldn't get over there.

If you're in driving distance of Milwaukee I advise thee to get the gently caress there. Its a huge show that starts around 4, Homostupids are on around 8 or so. Probably the only time you'll see them outside Cleveland. Their two tours so far have been 1) Toronto, then home 2) Chicago, Minneapolis, Milwaukee, then home They probably aren't coming out again anytime soon. Alessandro from Out With A Bang is with them headbutting everything that moves.
