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.

"Forever homeward bound"

Our house!

When I first moved back to Indiaucky I lived with my Grandfather in Jeffersonville, IN. In July, Shella and I signed a lease for our house in Lousville. Jim recently moved in and we're one big happy family...ha
I like our house a lot. It's not really hardcore related except the constant mosh that happens in the hallways.
This is our house!

I told you long ago, now you're..forever fucked.

Depression.. Is there a band I miss more? I think not. Their self titled EP is one of my favorites, ever. Heavy, mean, angry hardcore. I saw them in Richmond at Alley Katz in 2005 with Iron Boots, and Bracewar. Being the one of 3 people who knew the words, I felt sort of awkward at first but when they played "Ghost of Cabbagetown" I let my inhibitions fade away. Their set was great. Depression was scheduled to play Richmond again a few months later but they canceled last minute, then broke up.
Truth be told, I once blocked my number and left a 5 minute voicemail on the singer's phone asking him to do a reunion. Somehow he got my number and called me back and said "Never gonna happen." That's a big bummer. One of their guitar players always told me he would be down for a reunion though. Maybe I can just do vocals, hahahahaha.



If you've never heard Depression and want to listen check our their Myspace. I would upload their s/t but the internet connection here is shit. I will probably end up doing it and it will take 4 hours. We'll see, either way, listen, mosh in your room/car, enjoy.

Sunday September 26th @ The Chestnut House

Tomorrow Jim comes home from his mini weekend tour with Misled Youth and RazorxFade.

I'm lonely on a Saturday night. Jim's on tour and it seems like everyone else has plans or sorta kinda has bailed.
Naps during the day kill my sleep patterns.
Expect some [cool] updates.

Another Mistake played Indy a couple weeks ago! Ryan Tassi took a few photos:

Recent thought..

Saturday night Jim invited our friend AJ over. He brought his friend, some guy who filmed the show. He looked older, I figured he was an older guy who "use" to be "into" hardcore.
As the night carried on, we watched the Another Mistake set from that night. The guy made dumb commentary "why is punching the air so cool?" "hardcore dancing is stupid" "straightedge is outdated" "hardcore is outdated" "I use to like hardcore then I grew up" type of shit. I asked him how old he was, 23. Twenty fucking three talking like he was some 30 year old wash up, hasbeen, but no.
Upon further investigation, the only "hardcore" bands he could name and said he was interested in were Breather Resist, and Black Cross. I just had to walk away at this point. I know people are entitled to their opinions, and I should respect them no matter how ignorant they sound to me. How are you going to come into someone's house and insult everything they love and live for? I realize he probably didn't know what he was talking about but the simple fact that he had no filter, no tact, just continued to bash "hardcore" and talk about how stupid straightedge is. I love hardcore. I love the straightedge.
I don't mean any hard feelings towards this guy, but I'm 23. I don't find myself saying shit like "outdated." I haven't been alive that long to make those sort of judgments. He really frustrated me. When someone talks badly about something they know little to nothing about it's irritating. It's cool to have an opinion but have a little knowledge of the topic.

Louisville Show Calendar for September!

Thanks to Louisville Hardcore Board for the calendar.

Hysteria

My friend Bobby recently joined a band called Hysteria. They are from Nashville, TN.


They played here Saturday night with Another Mistake, Written Off, Damaged Goods, Skinwalkers, and Agitator. Their set was very good. I was/am really into Bobby's old band, I Need Closure. Heavy, dark, doomy. I feel like Hysteria embodies all these qualities too. Bobby is a crazy front man. His bandmates play very well. I'm not sure what they sounded like before he entered, but I am impressed with the music. All the guys in the band are very nice and funny.

You should check out their demo, This is Not the Place I'm Supposed to Be. They have a fanpage on Facebook, if you're in to liking cool bands, Hysteria.

Here's their blog with lyrics to their demo and show info: BLOG! Don't sleep. Download their demo, go see they play, mosh, buy a shirt, be active.



I am not always right, but I understand one thing: I've screamed for 26 years and it got me nothing.
