100 Gecs just released a new album, 10,000 Gecs, and they leaned hard into the hyperska this time. Definitely recommend it, the same vibe as Eichlers' stuff.

I found out the Bosstones broke up today. Then I found out why. What the gently caress, Dicky.

What band is that, so I know to ignore the gently caress out of them. Like of all the scenes to be an anti-vaxxer in... e: Found it. ... made with a member of the Offspring (!?!?!) who got fired for not getting vaxxed? DUDE YOUR FRONTMAN IS DR DEXTER HOLLAND, WHO WROTE A PAPER ON VIRUSES, THE gently caress. iospace fucked around with this message at 00:46 on Mar 20, 2023 |

I had no idea he had a new band. To save people the trouble of Googling, it's "The Defiant," which tracks. No thank you. It's a real shame, I used to really like Dicky.

I remember I used to listen to the radio show Loveline with Adam Carolla, and lmao Dicky came on a few times and was good friends with Carolla. Makes a bit more sense, now.

Probably spent too much time with Aimee Interrupter, who uh, if I remember right, has been on a few right wing shows. Which sucks because Let's Face It was one of my first forays into the genre as a whole.

Aimee did some canvassing or something for Ron Paul and went on Alex Jones' show, both many years ago when she was much younger, but it was a big yikes. It's very unclear whether her politics have changed or what she thinks now. It was a major controversy and she's kept her political opinions buttoned up in recent years. I'd like to think she's changed, but it's difficult to say. People's politics can change, of course. But if she really had a change of heart, rather than just realizing that being a right-winger is a bad career move for a punk and ska singer, I'd have liked to see her say something. The fact that she hasn't, well, who can say, but it certainly makes me skeptical.

George Wright posted:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a6Z-DjXYmdE I don’t think fishbone has ever really stopped touring, but they also don’t put out new albums like ever. For a band that’s been around for almost 40 years, they only have 8 real albums.

original guitarist kendall jones was probably the most important songwriter in the group who left the band after give a monkey a brain, which is probably their last good album their drummer also left after that album and he'd been really contributing to the songwriting at the time well. he's back in the band currently, though.

There's a song where the lyrics are literally "Where we go one we go all" and it's pretty much all about the current political era without reeeally stating exactly what side it's advocating for. The masks thing is about antifa and isn't aging all that well either... I've been giving them the benefit of a doubt because I love their music so much. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pfMfEC7o7UU

Saw the Skalars, and Scofflaws last night in Chicago. Couple of bands I haven’t seen in over 20 years. Skalars were really good and were mostly original members. No Isaac Green, but that didn’t matter. Would see them again. Scofflaws was just Sammy Brooks and a bunch of fill-ins. Brooks has a ton of energy for a guy who looks 70. Scofflaws were tight, but I guess I got tired of Brooks’s antics because I left halfway through the set. Being really tired didn’t help either. Also, Chuck Wren, for having run Jump Up Records for 30 years, is not really a good show runner.

For my money he's the best drummer in ska-punk, and one of my favorite drummers, period.

Fishbone is releasing a new EP later this month. New song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9JoBMl2s260 I'm not detecting much ska influence, but the band had drifted away from that sound in their later years anyway. They haven't put anything new out in about nine years, so I'm excited either way!

was reminded of this band today, wonder what happened to them. boy was it hard to remember and find them because they were not popular even in the 2000s!! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hMpe7fDNfB8 this was around that time that freefall felix posted their baller EP and then ghosted the internet forever https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ob0KgPrvYzE The 7th Guest fucked around with this message at 01:47 on Jun 6, 2023 |

The 7th Guest posted:this was around that time that freefall felix posted their baller EP and then ghosted the internet forever Freefall Felix! I've been meaning to post about them in here for a moment! There's a guy, Andy B, who traveled around to record a whole bunch of other musicians for a project he called Andy B and The World. I liked this song in particular: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zpD4oG9kCTo I can't put my finger on why, but it really reminded me of Freefall Felix. Enough that I thought, "Hey, was anyone from that band involved in the song?" Short answer: No, I don't think so. But thanks to Felix, the stuntman that did a freefall from space, the band is really difficult to search for. After fiddling around with search terms, I actually got a few relevant results, and one of the first ten results or so was the OP of this thread. I can't replicate it now, but I definitely laughed that the band was obscure enough at this point that a post from this thread was a top result. But I feel that was definitely a thing in the 2003-2010 era - bands moving towards that heavier rock with horns sound and releasing a great album or EP, then just disappearing like these two bands. In other ska news, Catbite and Brian Fallon covered the Slackers, but also made it goth? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fnKBS2sid9A
