They don't fit all that well in this thread but is anyone a fan of the King Blues?

http://www.myspace.com/thekingblues

I've been ignoring this band for way too long.

I've seen them live a few times and my friends band has played with them. They are a great band to listen to, especially when drunk :)
I can't decide which of their albums I prefer though.

It's a lot more loud and aggressive-sounding than their first album, and the songwriting is stronger as well. I thought their first album was alright but it has its limp-dick moments, and this album by contrast is the kind that demands your attention throughout the entire thing. To me, anyway

Yeah so did I, I dismissed it as first as a boring ballad then listened to it again and The Wonder Years have gone wayy up in my estimations. Defiantly going to see them when they tour the UK in the summer.

3/4 of both saturday and sunday for No Way Fest are good. Dude Fest has American Cheeseburger, Harm's Way, Harvey Milk, Mind Eraser, and Zero Boys. That's it and its not very good.

Anyways, I am def going to Chaos in Tejas this year which is the only "fest" that is worth a drat.

I'm on the Quebec side but about 10 minutes from Ottawa, and apart from a few bands bridging the gap between Montreal and Toronto, we rarely get any big shows unless they're Canadian bands. Ottawa has a substantial hardcore scene though, but for the most part it's (usually lovely with a few exceptions) metalcore and youth crew stuff. From what I've seen, anyway.

3/18/2023: Day of the Dorks
Well, it looks like Against Me! continues to lose whatever shred of credibility they had, making Plan-It-X stop issuing their Crimes as Forgiven By EP so they can reissue it themselves, except it doesn't have Burn on it. Here's what Chris from PIX has to say:

quote:

hey.
okay, so you know that against me asked me to stop repressing the crime EP right? i would just like to clear up a few things. they never order me to stop repressing it. there was no threat of legal action or anything. they just asked me to stop...

they gave me 3 reasons.

1. they never knew the status of the release, if it was in print or not etc?
2. they didn't like the packaging.
3. they thought it cost too much in the no idea catalog.

i wrote back and addressed these three issues:

1. it has been in print since day one. it has never gone out of print. everytime i repressed it i sent them 200 more free copies. they have my email and phone number and could check the "status" at anytime.

i said i would be more than glad to give them reports on this.

2. i allow bands to have any type of packaging they want. the first pressing was in a case. when the 2nd pressing came up i was in gainesville and i ask tom if there was anything he wanted to change, we agreed that the sleeve/bag package would be better since it would make more room in the van.

i said we could change it back to anything they want

3. the no idea CD-EP is cheaper in the no idea catalog because no idea released it. it makes sense, i sell the crime ep to them for 3.50. since PIX sells all it's cds for 5 or 3.50 wholesale or 2.50 to bands, i can't afford to have lower prices for EPs. normal record labels can do that. no idea makes enough money off of their full length CDs to sell eps cheap and to sell LPs. that plan doesn't work for PIX. cheap cds limit what we can do.

there was nothing i could do about this.

so i told them that i really wanted to continue to release the CD. and i told them that it meant a lot to me to have it on plan-it-x and that i really loved the songs (i do). i told them that i really did not want to quit repressing it. i told them i did not agree with their complaints and that i would also do anything i could to make them happy and keep the release. i also told them the decision is theirs since i DO NOT own the music. they do.

i didn't get a response for a few months, then jordan wrote me and told me that they had repressed it already.

needless to say this hurts my feelings.
this is the first time a band has ever done anything like this to me.

i love the record and the music and it means a lot to me.

i don't really understand the argument that they just really want to release their own records and be DIY since they have a lot of releases on other labels and don't seem to be taking any of them back.

if they did take back all their releases and start only releasing their own records i would have great respect for them. but in this case it's hard not to take it personally. i think they dislike the rift that has grown between them and the DIY punks and somehow they think i am a part of it.

i don't really understand. i am hurt.

it took me a while to think of what to say about this.
i didn't want to say anything really but at every show kids ask me.
i hear kids saying dumb stuff about against me, taking be to court, or ordering me to stop repressing the CD.

it wasn't like that. but it was sad regardless.

i love the crime ep and i love the people in against me. let that be known.

this is not a complaint, this is just information.

i hope no one from against me takes it the wrong way.

i just wanted to explain this deal to the kids.

i still have about 300 crime eps and will sell them until they run out. the new pressing on sabot does not have the song: BURN BURN BURN. so if you want that song, get the CD before it's gone. i'm sending 200 to no idea soon, and will sell the last 100 myself.

please stop asking me questions about agianst me.
they (by their choice) are no longer a part of the PIX family.

i miss them.

-chris

I know it's kind of like a broken record now, but they were one of the first bands I got into whenever they were dropping releases like Crimes and their Vivada Vis demo tape so I still keep up with whatever news is surrounding them.

It's been dead. All of the bands that are "bringing it back" are doing a mediocre job. Half of Ceremony's riffs are ripped from Crossed Out... not that I don't enjoy both of those bands, but there isn't much room for expansion...

I'd say probably dead, but making a comeback soon. Sure bands like Iron Lung and Hatred Surge are still doing stuff but there is not a lot going on right now. The new Mind Eraser stuff is amazing, but not quite as power-violency as it used to be. I think right now most kids are a lot more into other stuff, whether you agree that its good or not, like ceremony, sex vid, and cult ritual.

I think when people get tired of starting and listening to myyyyysterious noisy hardcore bands it might make a comeback again. I sure hope so, cause its what i still listen to a ton. I've listened to No Comment - Downsided more than anything else in the world i think. Ps if anyone has a copy of that i'll buy it.
