This is Hardcore 2010

It's that time again for THIS IS HARDCORE in Philadelphia. I haven't been since 2006 due to family shit every god damn year. This year, nothing, nothing is stopping me.

The lineup has blown my mind. I wasn't expecting Sheer Terror to be announced and well, they were.


Bought tickets today. I don't know what else to say about this.

Evil Grimace (Louisville)

I don't know if any of you remember Brainz Out.. but Evil Grimace is the 2010 version.
Basically, a group of goofy dudes playing spoof youth crew esque hardcore. You'll never see half of the band members at a hardcore show *unless its locals only* but I like the music a lot so I thought I would post about it.



DEMO 2010
Check out, "Out of Breath With the World."

Dead End Path pt 2

Hey ya'll, Dead End Path has blown up since I've last talked about them.
Dead End Path has a new 7", Death Walks Beside Us, coming out on TRIPLE B RECORDS. You can preorder it along with some represses of other Triple B bands, Fire & Ice, Rival Mob, and The First Annual (I haven't heard them but will be checking them out in a bit).

DEP has put 2 songs from the 7" on their MYSPACE. I like them both. "Deliver Us" has Bob Mack's guest vocals, I think, at least, that is what it sounds like.

They are also going on a summer tour and playing Sound & Fury. Sadly, they are not coming around here on their way to S&F but maybe on the way back.
It's a team effort getting that worked out.

TRUTHandRIGHTS pt2

Have you heard?! TRUTHandRIGHTS put songs on their Myspace..
"It's a beautiful day, but you have'nt slept yet, runnin over ya bills and look at all the debt left, with-ya money-money man you love to be the life of the party, what a sufferin fool that's why you're so sorry"


Keep your fingers crossed that they will still come to Louisville and also play THIS IS HARDCORE 2010.

TPC 2010

NAILED SHUT (Memphis)

NAILED SHUT

Politically driven hardcore out of Memphis, TN. They just put up 2 songs on their Myspace. I wish I had a download link or an order link for their music. I'll see what I can do to get it.
Total Seperation is the better track of the two. The breakdown at like 2mins is heavy.
FFO: Harvest.. Earth Crisis.. and 90s metalcore.

I'm into it.

Soul Search

DOWNLOAD 2010 DEMO
Another NYHC influneced band, Soul Search(CA). The recent influx of NYHC is out of control and awesome all in the same. SOUL SEARCH is awesome. You should check out their 2010 demo. I really like this.

First road trip of the summer: St Louis

Saturday May 22nd Josh, Ethan, Jim, and I embarked on a 4 1/2 drive to St Louis to see Foundation and Backtrack play at the Fubar. The drive there was a lot of fun and seem to pass by quickly. We stopped for a nature walk and some hot dogs ..and a lot of potty breaks because I pee a lot.






The show was decent. St Louis is a little weird. Apparently most everyone there was from out of town. Some guy got jumped by a handful of guys...always a good vibe for a first time visit. A handful of people from St Louis talk to me on the internet but didn't say hi but came home and told me they saw me. I hate that. hahaha
I got to see Jimmie, Blake, Kirby, Kyle, and met this guy Drew from Twitter. I also met two cool girls that are moving to Louisville soon! I'm excited. Louisville lacks hardcore girls besides like me, Alex, and Shella.

One band covered No Warning's "Short Fuse." It was fun.
I gave all the opening bands a chance.. None of them sparked my interest.
Backtrack was awesome. Foundation played a short set because of the29549 other bands that were put on the show. 7 bands is way too many!! I enjoyed both sets a lot. Like half the room left after Harms Way, which is a dang shame.


Drive home was nice. Jim and I had some real talk with silly comments from Jtec in the back. We got home around 6:30am and slept until 4pm.
Great trip. I can't wait for the next one! Which is probably...Floorpunch in Philly next month.

Big things...

Well, I've been in Louisville for almost two weeks now. The time spent here so far has been nothing short of spectacular. The only semi-downside is I don't have the internet password at my place and I don't know how to figure it out. Its not been a bad thing. Being away from the computer has given me more time for friends, Sophia, and catching up on reading. (I'm updating via my Blackberry).
The move went well. I finished my last final on Wednesday and had everything packed on Tuesday. I left Thursday morning at 530am. It was hard leaving my Mom but she was very positive about the move. She has continued to be very positive. Sophia and I arrived in Louisville around 930PM (we stopped a lot to just chill and run around).Hanged out with the boys and stayed at Keith's house. I don't remember a lot from that night so I'm sure it was good. Since the first night everyone has been hanging out... Like nonstop hanging out. I haven't been home alone at all except to sleep and even then Dusty has been sleeping over every weekend and Shella this weekend. Its been a great transition... I mean I didn't expect my friends to be so stoked on me being back. I defiantly underestimated them.<3
I want to update more about parties, bands, friends but its hard to think of all the great stuff that's gone on! I have a lot of photos I want to post and bands I want to talk about but that will all have to wait until I have time to get on my laptop.
