A look at the bigger picture...

It's frustrating that everyone cares so much about someone named Jay Reatard dying over 500,000 people dying in Haiti....
The priorities of American's are so fucked. That is all I have to say about that.

Blacklisted



So, I've been dreading this update. New BLACKLISTED "No One Deserves to Be Here More Than Me."

I love this record. It's catching a lot of heat but fuck it. "It's not a hardcore record." Despite whatever is being said, it's an amazing record. Musically, nothing can top "..Beat Goes On," lyrically, ON POINT. Depression, anxiety ridden songs, with the usual "I'm going crazy" mentality George writes about. I said, I fucking love this record. It's different. They have been changing their sound since "Peace On Earth...." Get into it.
I don't know who it sounds like. I don't know what band to relate it too. Fucking Nirvana, I guess. It's grungy/rock/hardcore influenced.
My favorite tracks: "No One Deserves To Be Here More Than Me" & "I am Extraordinary"


Personally, I am proud of them for writing a record they wanted to write, without giving way to rumors and bullshit people talk. Good for them for doing what they want, not what their fans want. It's raw, emotional, honest. This was THE MOST HYPED record of 2009. I believe it's lived up to the hype. It is in my top 5 records of 2009.

Fuck you if you don't like it because it's not your typical hardcore record. Get out of your box, squares. (DOUBLE NEGATIVE)

You can buy "No One Deserves To Be Here More Than Me," exclusively at DEATHWISH INC.

Support Blacklisted. Buy their new record from Deathwish, buy their new 7" from Six Feet Under(I don't know much about this 7" yet. Few songs from LP with a new version of The P.I.G. I haven't gotten it yet, so we'll see). See them on their UPCOMING TOUR.




Bang your fucking head.

Fire & Ice

I don't think I've talked about Fire & Ice yet.
Let's change that.

Newer Richmond Hardcore band feat members of Iron Boots, Down to Nothing, Junkyard Dogs, and Demon Brother.
Of course an old-school sound, a lot of Leeway inspired guitar, vocals, eh, I don't know. I want to say they have a much more unique sound then a lot of bands coming forth, or at least the ones I talk about/listen to. Taking an Icemen song as your band name is pretty cool too.
They've been on tour with Foundation, Trapped Under Ice, Forfeit, Hardside, and others I guess. I'm not too sure who else they've played with lately. They are also playing in Baltimore at Sonar with Integrity, Ringworm, and Pulling Teeth. BIG THINGS! Go see them, mosh hard.

You can download the demo here and BUY THEIR 7". I don't know if it's still being sold or has been reissued or what. I'm pretty sure they had them at the show last night. 7" obviously is much smoother than the 2 songs on the demo. So, download it, get into them, buy it, then go see them on tour. Buy a shirt or something. Tell Mark you think he's got a sexy mouth.
Keep an eye on their Big Cartel webstore for cr00sh merch.

2010

I have no excuse for the lack of updates. I'm on here all the time. Some things are going shitty in my life and that's really all I want to focus my attention on. Stupid, right?
I quit my job. I fucking hated working for them. I quit to go back to school full time.
I start class on Monday. I haven't been in school for two years. I don't know how I feel about it.
Getting away from things will be a good change. I won't have time for shitty people or bails. It will be a good few months. I have to keep telling myself that. Busting my ass to get where I need to be. I'm lucky my mom is allowing me to go to school full-time. I'm very thankful for her and all she has taught me. She's a great woman.

Alright, hardcore updates now.
