Eight Is Legend posted:The guys from the metal thread said I should talk to you guys. DEP - Calculating Infinity and Under the Running Board EP, and then listen to the various songs from Ire Works and Miss Machine off the myspace. PTW - Opposite of December and You Come Before You, both flawless records. PTW likes to play stuff from every album live, and DEP has a pretty varied setlist too. Anyway, I'm going to bet I'm the only one excited that Breakdown is playing Superbowl of Hardcore. Only reason I'm going this year. Maybe I'll get lucky and Indecision will play again too. Was debating taking a roadtrip this weekend to see Gehenna, Pulling Teeth, and Starkweather but I really don't have the money. Such an amazing lineup.

Do you know if they're just doing a reunion tour, or are they going back to being a band? Just 4 shows, Todd tours with Life In Your Way now and the other guys have Ambitions.

A song or two was sloppy, pretty forgivable. The NYC set was on point. Ride is picking me up in 40 minutes for the Haverhill show...the venue is the size of a living room apparently. This will rule.

King Kolostomy posted:Ramallah is the gayest, cheesiest, most nu-metal inspired "hardcore" ever. I disagree quite a bit and I've gotten into this argument plenty of times here. 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. It wasn't very cheesy to me, it was real. And angry. Really angry.

Vogel and all of them have been big into hiphop for a while, before Terror even started. Hell, they've had hiphop cameos on their last two albums. Plus living in LA they're into the lifestyle a little bit. They're all hardcore at heart and the music is still hard as nails. It's just how they dress and incite fun at the shows. Definitely one of the best live bands around, I'm glad to see they've strayed away from those big tours bands like Hatebreed would take them on, and are back to playing small clubs and halls and still attract tons of kids. Their set last night was absolutely awesome.

OBW did "break up" but now they're playing again for whatever reasons and doing shows here and there. Give'em Hell is a Western Mass. staple band but I just can't get into them, I think they're terrible. Although Swear to God was way worse, but I liked them. I definitely love Blacklisted more than almost any band, it's two days later and my body is still in pain from that show. Earth Crisis show starts at 6, it probably won't end up being fun. I'm amped for Shai Hulud and to see Sworn Enemy again, and to watch some of my older friends get drunk and act like shitheads during Earth Crisis...should be funny. Shai Hulud still sounds wonderful and I can't wait for the new album, but I'm sick of only seeing them on big stages.

acup posted:Worcester has always been very easy to get to for me, but a huge pain in the rear end to get out of. I always get lost for at least an hour trying to leave Worcester. When you leave the Palladium just get on Central St. and head towards the 99, under the train bridge. Route 290 west is right there, takes you to 146, which goes right to Woonsocket (I used to live right off it in NS).

A5H posted:This is pretty good. Thanks for the recommendation! Vogelisms are hilarious but most are fake....however, you definitely can picture him saying that stuff. I've heard him say some ridiculous stuff. Paraphrased: "I don't give a gently caress who you are or what you are, we're all the same people. If you like chicks, that's a beautiful thing. If you're a girl and you like girls that's a beautiful thing. If you're a dude and you like dudes....it ain't my thing, but it's a beautiful thing" Terror came about pretty much on the onset of the "internet age" of hardcore, when the only major boards were probably xmulletx, the Rev board, maybe B9, maybe Deathtalk. Buried alive had been broken up, Vogel moved to LA, started Terror, and they put out a 4 song EP themselves through mailorder that loving ripped and over the span of like a week EVERYONE was talking about it. Their first shows on the east coast were insanity. I'm trying to remember the tracklisting of the demo so you can get an idea as to what it was like, I know Life or Death was the first song I ever heard by Terror and it was amazing. 50 seconds of rage. Their sound is different now, but that's how it all started...major hype band that delivered.

For anyone who is going to the Earth Crisis tour: they were loving terrible and had a bad setlist. Maybe the vibe tonight was off but EC bored me to tears, Terror stole the show, and I had more fun during them and Shai Hulud than anyone.

Drama? None. A few pit beef fights, and some brawl at the end of Firestorm and that was it. Some kids I knew were planning on tossing dead rats on stage during EC but were talked out of it, probably for the better. Funny story I heard today was some edge kid with his hands X'd up promised that he would take a shot of Jager when EC played the first chords of Firestorm. He did. Apparently he got jumped outside. Absolutely ridiculous on all fronts, I can't help but laugh.

ChaosNonMusica posted:I know what he means. I just think it's stupid when bands called themselves straight edge bands, as if straight edge is a music style (it's not FYI). All of the members of my band are straight edge, but we're a hardcore band. We play hardcore, not straight edge. Eh, bands who are more passionate about things like to toss their little label into their band. Political bands of any nature, vegans, edge kids, what have you. It's just semantics, why worry or care? I just think the incident is hilarious because a) he broke edge during Firestorm while X'd up, which is both stupid and funny b) he got jumped and beat up for it, which is both stupid and funny Win/win situation for people with a sense of humor.

The recording on this is worlds beyond everything they've ever done...Kurt Ballou produced it and they nailed every little detail. George's vocals are drat near perfect, and the tone for the entire record is soooo heavy. A little sad to see two reprises of songs already on "Peace on Earth War on Stage" but at least they're two loving incredible songs. "You've never laid in the beds that I've made, don't tell me about being afraid, you've never died the ways that I've died, what do you know about screaming to God?"

In case anyone from here was debating going to see Converge, Red Chord, Baroness, and Genghis Tron tonight in Worcester, MA, the word I'm getting is that the show didn't sell well downstairs and has been moved upstairs. To the small 500-600 capacity club. I can't wait.

Bummed I had to miss United Blood. If you're in the Northeast though, look up As One Fest, it's going to be the New England version of the typical 'core fest nowadays. Waterbury, CT. Converge show tonight was fun. Packed house...Genghis Tron has a new lightshow and loving killed it. Baroness, first time seeing them (FINALLY) and I couldn't enjoy it because while I was up close, it was so loud that I actually lost my hearing in my right ear temporarily (don't do 10 years of punk, hardcore and metal shows without hearing protection ) so I had to go outside for a little bit...when I got back in I couldn't find a spot to stand and watch. Red Chord was nuts if anyone else likes that band besides me. Spent the end of Dreaming in Dog Years stepping on everybody on the stage. Converge played a great set but you can tell they're so sick of their earlier material...Conduit was the only song played that I was hoping for. Not even Saddest Day anymore. Everything else was Jane Doe and beyond, all albums I really don't even care for.edit: King Kolostomy posted:
List of bands not worth skipping. Especially Unforgiven and Dead Black, both new bands that loving kill (esp. Dead Black, so heavy). Soul Control is on the up and up, Wrong Side is always welcome to do "reunion shows", and I heard the Living Hell set was just violence x 1000. They are on my good side because they played my friend Chris' "going away show" (getting shipped to Iraq) and he asked them to cover Integrity, and they did and it ruled.

rivals posted:And Rivalry. It's at the top if you like good hardcore anyway. I count Rivalry and 1918 and pretty much every other label as being on an even level directly below the standards B9 and DW set for being record labels. There's a glut of good indie hardcore labels out there right now run by solid guys (GOOD DUDES BACKED HARD) but B9/DW have stepped the game up majorly just in terms of how a label is run. edit: Better suggestion that Earth Crisis for an Integrity frame of mind would definitely be Vegas, another Dwid project that sounds pretty epic. I'll also recommend Ringworm (forget if it's been mentioned already), 100 Demons (both albums are spectacular but "In the Eyes of the Lord" may suit your fancy more), Watchfire (who come out of Harder the Fight, a VERY Integ. influenced band), Dead Black from Boston, Unforgiven from CT, and Millenial Reign.

This is the tour with Red Chord, Baroness, Genghis Tron? I enjoyed every band besides Converge way more. They only played one song I wanted to hear, Conduit Had way more fun during the Red Chord.

I dunno about anyone else but I think I consider A Wilhelm Scream to be one of the bands that's going to help shape the future of punk. So stupidly talented, terrific live show, amazing energy, great lyrics, inventive and impressive songwriting that's really unlike anyone else out there right now (that I know of). Saw them again last night and I can really see this band taking it to a new level. Just go listen to Career Suicide, and if by the time The Horse comes on you're not swayed, I dunno what to tell ya.

First album was overproduced by the same guy who did the Used. Few good tracks but definitely hampered by that fact. The last song is a pretty fun westcoast style melodic hardcore song with a sweet fun breakdown at the end. Second album is one no one ever really gave much of a shot. It really sounds like a staight up melodic hardcore record, it's ridiculously catchy, has plenty of punch, good lyrical content...I could see them touring with bands like Ignite or Stretch Arm Strong easily. Hell all the guys in the band are down with the 'core but they won't ever really shrink down past their current level which bums me out. If anything grab this album (In the wake of determination) and listen to it start to finish with an open mind. Also Norma Jean is snoozefest and always has been, but I might be biased because I heard Luti-Kriss at the same time and was like "wow this numetal faggotry became norma jean? what losers"

I really can never tell in these threads. That kind of music is usually unwelcome in here and REALLY unwelcome in the metal thread, and it's own thread dies out super fast every time. To keep with the theme of "almost hardcore related":  Gorilla Biscuits alternate cover is rad. Has "Good dudes" etched on side A, "Backed Hard" on side B. Didn't bother getting the other colors of ISHC, and I'm only missing the friends/family/staff version of the 7" because I'm well, none of the 3. To get back to punk: saw Disfear on sunday with Trap Them. loving amazing. Of course they were sold out of the Live the Storm NA tour version LP by the time they got to my city Seeing Tragedy, Dropdead, and Systematic Death on Saturday. I'm going to smell so loving bad coming out of that show. The hygiene in this city is atrocious.
