What's so wrong with being a punk rock faggot hippy, anyway?

DIY is not necessarily punk, but I'd say most of those bands are probably either hardcore, metalcore or emo/screamo.

At The Fest? You may want to look at those bands again. Andrew Jackson Jihad? The Lawrence Arms? Bomb The Music Industry? The freaking Ergs? None of these bands are even remotely related to hardcore. In fact, many of the bands playing are more pop-punk than anything. The farthest from hardcore. Sure, there may be a few hardcore bands playing, but for the most part The Fest is generally less hardcore/metalcore/emo/screamo than most "punk" fests.

You're right, DIY doesn't necessarily mean punk, but in my opinion it is a fairly necessary component.

I haven't heard them since I don't listen to a lot of punk, I just saw Ampere, Comadre, Capsule and figured it was a hardcore fest. Meh.

This thread acquired the name "pre-gaming for Fest 7" just a month or so after The Fest 6 last year. I think it's fair to say that The Fest has a good (maybe not balanced) split of the three main genres in this thread's title.

I saw Phoenix Bodies and La Quiete tonight, and I just want to say that a crazy house show in Texas in August is not a good idea. Everyone was sweating so much that our hands were pruning, and there was enough sweat and condensation that my minidisc recorder got totally hosed. Also, the naked guys were a bit off-putting. But holy goddamn was it a great show anyway.

Crazy house show at the Panhandle House is always a good idea. Didn't make it to this show because on my way from Kansas City I got in a wreck in Oklahoma. I'll probably never get to see La Quiete, oh well.

Panhandle House loving rules. Last time I was there was for Teenage Cool Kids and Total Abuse there in May when I was back in town. If you don't come out of that house drenched you're doing something wrong. loving Denton crust DIY kids are the best.


Anyways, I got rebirthed into War Hungry after seeing them again recently and I've been killing Return To Earth.

Its the party element to Summerfector 2, the fest I posted in Portland. Mostly involves a lot of drinking I think. The best part about the Summerfector flyer is at the bottom it says "leave your dogs at home," referring to the american phenomenon of lovely awful crusty traveler kids abusing dogs to garnish sympathy, so they can get more change when begging.

I am friends with people who put out records for the likes of the ergs and all that whatever you want to call it but to me its not punk or hardcore, its just pop. I'm not into it. Nothing against my friends as some of them work practically 6 days a week on their labels and keep it more DIY than dumbass punk DIY labels, who don't do it all in-house. However, the sound of the music leaves a lot to be desired, personally.

Dammit, I was hoping it was something fun in Richmond. Looks like I'll be near Allentown at the end of August/start of September visiting folks.

But yes, crusty traveller scumbags. Not really met any, but hate them anyway for getting the R5 fest shut down while I was over and had a ticket for Sunday. That was very annoying.

I messaged one of the guys from Phoenix Bodies, asking if they'd be able to mail one or two up to me (canadia :(), but I think I missed him. If anyone has an extra one or something, I'd love one.

they didn't get pointless fest shut down, in my eyes. the geniuses who decided to hire FSU to do security at a mostly hardcore/crust fest pretty much got it shut down. i hate people who gossip when they weren't there.

Nobody was there because it got shut down. I have talked to Greg many times since then. Crusty kids are 100% to blame and have been for loving up pointless fest and other things, every year, like clockwork.

Ri god drat diculous. Witch Hunt also proved no one cares about them and never has, including people they think are their friends. If anyone should be fired into space sans spacesuit, its those two.

Holy poo poo, the new D4 record is actually going to come out this year.

http://www.punknews.org/article/30127

quote:

Fat has posted a release date and artwork for the highly anticipated new album for Dillinger Four. If any of you doubted that the album would be released this calendar year, banish those doubts now (and confirm for yourself here.)

The record is due out October 14, 2008. It is the follow up to Situationist Comedy which was, ironically, released during the actual Civil War. Sadly, the band did not opt to go with our concept art, perhaps believing that zombies would not provide an adequate amount of gravitas to the project.

Agreed. School is starting soon for me too, so I drove to my favorite mountain bike spot. After riding, I listened to this on the way home, knowing it was one of the last times I could ride at noon on a Wednesday for a long time. It was good.

I just saw them a few days ago at Vintage Vinyl in NJ. It was a great show, nice and small.

I've been back and forth on this all summer, but right now I like The 59' Sound better than Sink or Swim. I think the softer vocals work better with their style.

I've lurked this thread and it sounds like there are some other posters from the bay area here. Anyone else going to see the Cobra Skulls tomorrow (Friday the 22nd) in San Francisco? They are playing at Thee Parkside. I wanted to catch them at the Gilman since that's closer to me but I won't be in town. Apparently one of the members just left the band like yesterday so I hope everything goes smooth at the show.
