From the roof to the alley..

Damaged Goods dropped their demo about a month ago. I can't think of anyone to compare them too. Just check out and for yourself: Demo 2011

April 23rd @ Ear X Tacy- Late Ones, Another Mistake

Local pop punk favorites Late Ones(FFO Kid Dynamite, The Movielife) are playing Ear X Tacy with Louisville's own hardcore superstars (I kid, I kid) Another Mistake. It's fucking FREE and on a Saturday night. There is no reason to miss this. You'll be able to pick up records while you're there too. Shows at record stores make me feel gooey and warm inside.
ROOTS! YOUTH!

Damaged Goods

Damaged Goods recently recorded new material. Recently, last Wednesday. I haven't heard them yet but I am impatiently waiting to get a sneak peak of a lil suntin suntin.



Damaged Goods played with Rattletooth at our local record store, Ear X Tacy. They've recently started doing like showcases for local bands. This was the flier Byan Volz made. It's so tight I have to post it:

I hope to be able to post a demo soon but until then here is there old demo .
Damaged Goods is going on tour with Another Mistake and Written Off. Hitting Kansas City, Springfield IL, and Grand Rapids MI April 15-16. Tour kicks off with a show at home w/Damaged Goods, Another Mistake, Aggress, and 1 TBA. Written Off had to drop off because Chris has a real man job.

Another Mistake 2011

Another Mistake released 3 out of their 6 new songs for a 2011 demo. You can download it here.

They just played My Friends the Pit II in Indianapolis, IN yesterday. It was a great time. Most of the fest was recorded thanks to AJ! Megan Reeves took photos too. I will post those as soon as I get my hands on them.

FFO: Carry On, American Nightmare, Right Brigade.

Another Mistake is playing fucking KRAZY FEST. They are opening Saturday. If you have some extra $$ and love Hot Water Music, Cave In, 7 Seconds, Title Fight, etc You should AT LEAST try to come Saturday to see Another Mistake. I know I'll be there Saturday and Sunday for Another Mistake and SAMIAM!!!!

Another Mistake also has a new limited shirt design. You can probably pick it up tonight on Living Touch webstore.

April 15-17 we're all going on tour. Another Mistake, Written Off, and Damaged goods are heading to Kansas City, Springfield IL, and Grand Rapids MI. Should be a blast. I hope people go lose their shit.

Written Off Louisville hardcore

Written Off put out a new demo. I think I talked about it when it was put out but I honestly don't remember. You can download it from their bandcamp page by clicking here. I highly recommend you check them out if you're still in the dark.
Written Off is playing Cleveland on May 20th at The Kids Will Have Their Fest. It's day one of Krazy Fest(YESOMFGKFISBACK) but I love Written Off and I wouldn't miss their first fest for the world. There isn't a flier for this fest yet but you can see the lineup on the Louisvilleboard. ENOUGH, SORRY EXCUSE, RAZORFADE, STAND FOR! You should be going.
Written Off is also going on tour with Another Mistake and Damaged goods in April (15-17) Hitting Kansas City, Springfield, and Grand Rapids.

Please tell me I'm dreaming..

December 17th was a blast! I wanted to do a run down of all the bands sooner so I wouldn't forget but I forgot to get on here and do it. It's not even been a week, let's see if my busted old brain can remember everything.
(OKAY, so it's been almost a month since I started this post, I'm going to finish it now Jan 4, 2011)


Louisville Hardcore Presents...@ Skully Alley December 17th, 2010.

Overrule- For not practicing since their last show, they sounded awesome. They played the whole demo, minus "Keep Your 2 Cents." Covered Hatebreed's "LAST BREATH." I think they played a great set. Chris Miles wasn't there to mosh the entire time, that sucked.

Skinwalkers- Played their new shit, which is tight. They have gotten so better since the first time I saw them @ Keswick.

Overseer- I like this band's demo quite a bit when I heard it.. Seeing them play was... disappointing? The music was awesome. Something about the singer threw me off a bit. I still like them and want to see them again.

Damaged Goods- Covered my favorite Mental song..Bounce Back! It was perfect. I love them so much for that. Sounded on point and played new songs. A+ pit.

Another Mistake- something was off about their entire set. Keith's guitar was out of tune or something and Jim was fucked up and playing poorly for a minute. I don't think any one really noticed. A lot of kids went off for them. They played a couple new-er songs and they got good reaction. Errybody love Another Mistake. There's 20 second video that shows it.

Written Off- I think they get better every time they play. They covered Mental intro and I think something else, I don't remember. Played a few new songs that ruled, great set.
There was a fight during their set! Now I really don't think that's cool anything but it was hilarious.

Picked Clean- I like Picked Clean a lot. Someone threw like 6 of their tapes on the ground, and lucky for Scott, Jim and I picked up all of them to one day pawn off when their 7" on SFU goes big on Ebay. I enjoyed their stupid mosh set.

Sorry Excuse- I fear for my life during this band. Antonio is a giant man and likes to stage dive and run off stage. MIDWEST WOLFPACK GOOOOOOOO. Okay, and, they covered Infest, which is tight. What is even cooler is that kids went NUTS for Sorry Excuse. Oh, and Stop and Think.

Razor Fade- Love Razor Fade. I adore these guys. They are so sweet and fun. One day I will sit down with my RxF tape and learn all the words to this demo. Carlos is just too damn sweet to sound so angry. Everyone loved Razor Fade.

Kicked In- I most anticipated seeing Kicked In again. I love their demo. With no surprise they were fucking awesome. Covered Righteous Jams. Ummmm, perfect set/mosh/etc etc

Mustangs- Ethan has mono. He suffered through a set. Sound was awesome. I love watching Mustangs. I wish Zuko could come to shows.

Alright, two more to go...

Let's be honest, I didn't watch Harms Way. Why? Because I read an interview in Vitalo's zine "Down to the Felt" with the singer of HW and it has turned me off to them completely. He sounds like such a dickhead jock douchebag. Not to mention talks shit on hardcore, and midwest hardcore at that. I hated reading every second of that interview. He brags about being a gym teacher and picking on nerds again, "smear the queer." Whatever

Weekend Nachos- I didn't watch them either but I do like WN. I felt like shit, tired hungry (worked all day) and just was ready to go. I did enjoy what I saw of them (one/two songs heard the whole set from the entry room)



The entire night was a lot of fun. I haven't seen a lot of my Chicago or Indy friends in a bit. The show also did so well. It was one of Skull Alley's last shows (RIP). Jamiee Prott is a great man. He did a lot for Louisville's underground music scene in the last 5 years at Skully Alley, and even before SA but with shows at his house.

Bryan V and Ryan T took photos at the show. They both have Flickr's but are assholes and won't let me ruin their copyright shits to post them on my blog any more. So here are some links:
Ryan T
Bryan V

Peace!
Jim is going behind me and correcting everything I already typed. He needs to make his own blog and let mine be a stupid incorrect piece of internet hardcore misinfomation.
I also hate Jim.

Overrule

Have you downloaded the Overrule demo yet? You're in luck! The demo is still up for download.
You can check download it here

They also played their first out of town show in Indianapolis on November 5. It was awesome. Here is a video from that show:

Another Mistake photos by Steadfast Media

Another Mistake played that Travisfest in Nashville about a week ago. It went pretty well. I sold a shirt to a very young little dude.
Here are some photos Heather Vaught took (Steadfast Media)
The first photo was taken by another person. I'm not sure who right now. Shella did Chris' guest vocals :)

Living Touch...overthrown

Bands that will be features on the comp:
Another Mistake
Mustangs
Written Off
Overrule
Skinwalkers
Damaged Goods

Reiterater

Written Off posted a new song a couple weeks ago for the Living Touch Records Louisville Compilation. You can listen to it on their Facebook Fanpage. The new song is real tight. I think the sound is a bit different from the demo but it still rules.

Don't forget, you can also download their demo, too!








Written Off also has a video from the show on Sunday! Check it out! This was their best set to date.

I met this really nice kid, Ryan Tassi, about a month or two ago. He is such a genuine good hearted person (which is few and far between). He's been demonstrating his [photography] style at shows lately. He is such a great photographer. If you're into film photography, show photos, friend photos, photos of normal objects that look awesome, you should check out his Flickr.
