1666 posts seems as good a place as any to restart the bloated LAST THREAD. To start things off: everybody tell about the awesome halloween shows you got to go to. Everybody who went to the Fest keep talking about it so I keep peeing my pants with envy. After having Screeching Weasel's self-titled album for a while and still loving it, what album should I get next? Yay, Dirt Cult Fest with Ghost Mice and the Dauntless Elite on Saturday. Let's get the name-calling and hateful debates rolling!

At the very end of the last thread I posted a bunch of locals (Phoenix and Tuscon, Arizona), and although probably no one was interested, I'll post it again for some desperate attempt for cred. BLUES  Describe themselves as "Botch 'n Roll" and I would say that's pretty accurate. Metallic hardcore with stoner influence. http://www.myspace.com/lettherockfuckyou HARLEQUIN BABIES  God, I'm really bad at describing bands. Kind of emo-type sung/screamed vocals with noisy kind of punk (I guess like XBXRX) stuff going on too. http://www.myspace.com/harlequinbabies HEATSTROKE  Combines traditional grind stuff (Napalm Death) with some hardcore/sludge/crust influence. http://www.myspace.com/heatstrokeaz HOUR OF THE WOLF  Awesome loving locals playing Misfits-influenced hardcore. It's like rockabilly and screamo mixed. http://www.myspace.com/hourofthewolfaz ALARM  Read their influences. At times powerviolence, at times straight hardcore, reminds me of Gaza sometimes. http://www.myspace.com/alarm I WISH I  This band is awesome. City of Caterpillar like build-ups with louder parts that remind me of Converge or Gaza. http://www.myspace.com/iwisheye Alright, I think that's enough for now. I guess IM me if you want some more. kirkjames fucked around with this message at 03:18 on Nov 2, 2007 |

Big Blue Violence posted:To add to this, I just want to namedrop Get Destroyed (super fast thrash), Think Fast (people who wish they were Infest), and Speak (kids who want to relive ebullition in the 90's). Yeah, there are tons of bands I'm not mentioning (Soft Shoulder, Slut Sister, Deadwrong, I Don't Give a gently caress, Netzeah) I just thought these were the most worth mentioning, I guess. Oh, and of course the Level Plane, Female fronted grind band Landmine Marathon are from Phoenix too. Although I'm not that big of a fan, I think they get a lot of attention just because of the female singer. Built for Brutality posted:hey kirkjames i have some family down in Tucson that are into hardcore and punk. What are the local venues and what not? Um, I'm not familiar with Tucson that much (I live in Phoenix and go to school North in Flagstaff) but I know of the Gnarwhal House, which is where most punk shows go, and if they're too big they usually go to Scrappy's.

They've pretty much peaked as far as new listeners go, I think. And the last time I saw them (in Austin, not exactly a town devoid of their fanbase [filthy hippies]) they sounded A-Okay. I'm really excited. I have barely listened to their music since then, but you can't deny the power of those singalongs. FREE PIZZA FOR LIFE!

Ask them about The Homestead in Southampton - always fun seeing them there, it's a house with a massive conservatory where they have acoustics play. Tell them Matt from Guildford says hi. Also, anyone who's got a chance to see Frightener on tour with Pulling Teeth in the US - DO IT. Brutal, hateful stuff. Nice guys though. Ask Jack (singer) if you can see the two coke cans he carries around with him, and Sam (one of the guitarists) will probably be very happy if you can point him in the direction of a blaze as well.

And the last time I saw them (in Austin, not exactly a town devoid of their fanbase [filthy hippies]) they sounded A-Okay. I'm sure that they sound better sans-amps, but it was an outdoor show and I was a good distance from the stage, and besides that a lot of people were disinterested and talking the entire time. They tour a lot though and when they come through town the consistently play the smallest venue here, so I'll get a chance to see them again. I know this is an odd question, because I think I may have gone about this backwards, but someone posted Yo Man, Go! in the last thread, and a I loving love them. What are some other bands (maybe more popular ones) that sound the same?

Best Friend posted:Set Your Goals is gonna start writing a new album in December, I'm pretty excited about that. I saw SYG with daggermouth and no trigger and both bands blew away SYG. It was so anticlimactic when they went on, lots of people left. Im debating about seeing locust/despised icon at the skatepark. On the one hand, despised icon sucks, and on the other hand, the locust sucks too but this kind of act never comes to edmonton so I figure I might as well see it.

Matt, my friend from hackney or wherever introduced me to the bassist while I was in the UK last so we hung out and vegged all night and morning, they're awesome. Sat around talking about tour and british sitcoms. I'll be in the UK next march too if you want to hang out. Pulling Teeth was awesome too- Harms Way and Weekend Nachos opened. For a bigger venue (Reggie's in Chicago) a lot of people came out with some excellent mosh. Seeing Catburglars open for MOTO tonight, think I might skip MOTO although I do like them and just sneak in for the opener.

What the gently caress, they're still together? What an awesome rock and roll band. To note, I only have heard 1992: The Love Album but it is awesome.

Well, they split up 10 years ago, played four songs at Four For Wiz (tribute to Wiz from Mega City Four when he died) earlier this year. Then they decided to do two full length reunion shows - Glasgow Barrowlands last weekend, and then Brixton Academy last night. The Glasgow one's out on DVD already. loving ace.

Ok, I just got an advance CDR of an upcoming Netjajev SS 7" on Rescued From Life Records. I don't think I'd be over exaggerating if I said that it's the greatest piece of music in the history of recorded sound.

Boogadaboogadaboogada! tends to be the general favorite, but you really can't go wrong when it comes to Screeching Weasel, honestly. I saw the Ergs! last Monday at a house show and I can easily say it's one of the best three live acts I've ever seen. The fact that they went to some sketchy backyard in Raleigh to play the night after they headline at the Fest 6 was so amazing to me. I got to help them set up too, which was

mind eraser posted:Nice, I was at this show! Ghost Mice was great. I don't have a problem with the way they play their shows, it makes it that much more intimate. Plus they played my requests! I love small shows like this, so much more personalized. Aw man, I actually missed it. Turns out the drive down is more like 4 hours, and our driver wasn't up for it. Didn't go see the Lawrence Arms either, unfortunately. On the plus side, apparently Ghost Mice are coming back around to albuquerque on the 8th. And of course it's on the same night as MDC/Citizen Fish. I don't know why they keep scheduling these things like they do, but I'm not entirely sure I mind since there's no way I can afford to go see MDC/CF anyhow.

You're right, I was initially a little underwhelmed, but I'm on my third full listen right now and it gets better and better every time. Someone mentioned they thought there weren't enough sing a longs, but I can't wait to scream along to Oh, Cheri and The Things we Won't Let Settle but Let Settle
