I've seen Hot Cross.

*parties with Lowend*

[RetiredAt21]

How were they?

[BuddyBigsby]

Pretty good. Sound in the venue was crap.

[RetiredAt21]

I really want to see them play Consonants, I love that song.

[cbmartinez]

Buddy, did you see them post-Fair Trades?

[BuddyBigsby]

Yes. It was October 2 of last year.

[cbmartinez]

Did the play a mix of stuff from Cryonics and the EP?

Congrats on 7000 by the way.

[BuddyBigsby]

Wow, I didn't even notice. SWEET!

It was really mixed. I only have Cryonics and just recently got Fair Trades, but judging from the songs that I do know and knowing what I do about how each release sounds, they played a pretty equal amount of songs from everything, actually maybe more off of Fair Trades. Like they only played maybe 3 or 4 songs off of Cryonics.

[Lowend]

Pretty good. Sound in the venue was crap.

same.

it was awesome hearing him yell F*ck not lest ye be F*cked".

Transistor Transistor played as well. i didn't realize how f*cking awesome their drummer is.

[cbmartinez]

Yeah, I'm gonna' see them in April or May. Transistor, Transistor is so good.

[Nick Morzov]

Yes there was. If you'd have taken a look at the rest of the thread you'd have noticed there are dozens of noobs who come barging in here thinking underoath and my chemical romance are emo. ok thx bye
no because we already established that, you're basically taking an argument you already know you can win and starting it again... good job on being an idiot :thumb:

[BuddyBigsby]

SHUT UP ALREADY

Holy Christ, this argument is going nowhere. Morzov, you lose. Get over it.

[RetiredAt21]

Morzov is really kicking a dead horse.

[_Alexisonfire_]

SHUT UP ALREADY

Holy Christ, this argument is going nowhere. Morzov, you lose. Get over it.

123

I'd like to see this argument you're talking about. I merely stated the facts, which are: some people think some mainstream bands are emo, and barging in this thread seeking to re-educate people like Bigsby and DFelon who (though I do not know them personally) are probably EXTREMELY familiar with the emo/screamo genre and scene. This is not an argument. It's what's already happening here and now.

Instead of replying to every word I say like you are gonna prove anything why don't you post something that is either
1. relevant and useful to this thread
2. related to emo/screamo.

By the way, yeah you did prove something Morzov: I could certainly not best you in being a *******. Must be a natural talent you have.

:rolleyes:

[DFelon204409]

Morzov is really kicking a dead horse.

No sex either.

[RetiredAt21]

Hahahaha, yeah.

[srt-4]

it was awesome hearing him yell F*ck not lest ye be F*cked".


seen them too. that was my favorite part. and for whoever asked, when i saw them they played more fair trades and farewells stuff. they put on an amazing show, even though i could count the kids that were standing anywhere near the stage on two hands.

[Nick Morzov]

i don't think you guys get what he was saying... i already know i was wrong... i apologized... then this guy comes along and starts the same argument over again. An argument he already knows he can win because i already established the fact that i was wrong. So lets just drop it ok?

[_Alexisonfire_]

Yeah, drop it with saying that I started an argument because I didn't.

Nah, I'm seeing them in a month.


My Saetia demo came today. Whoohoo!

Dubbed or original?
How much did you get it for?

[Wow]

Original. I got it for like $35 or something. It came in a day, too. I was excited.

[RetiredAt21]

Saetia is so effing awesome. One of my favorite bands.

[cbmartinez]

Hot Cross > Saetia

Bold Statement ++

[_Alexisonfire_]

Hot Cross > Saetia

Just to back you up :thumb:

[RetiredAt21]

I love Hot Cross too. They are both great bands.

[Wow]

I personally like Saetia more, but oh well.

[BuddyBigsby]

Saetia = Overrated

+++Bolder Statement

[DFelon204409]

It's true. So is The Funeral Arcade. It's really annoying when bands are overrated.

[Bartender]

How many releases do Hot Cross have? I've heard about half of an album of thiers (A New Set of Lungs?), and liked it enough to want to buy something by them. Can't find anything by them though, perhaps unsurprisingly.

[BuddyBigsby]

Four, unless there's something I don't know about.

- A New Set of Lungs EP
- Split with Light the Fuse and Run
- Cryonics LP
- Fair Trades and Farewells EP

You forgot the split with Lickgoldensky.

[BuddyBigsby]

Hmm... never heard of that. Probably because it was tour only.

[PlasticGangster]

there are rumors floating around that malady is playing here in august.
and i just found out that the pine is from here.
they don't do that many local shows because hardly anybody knows or they don't care for them.
it's quite sad.

would you guys consider 1000 travels of jawaharlal emo? What about Daitro?

I'm from San Mateo.

[cbmartinez]

I wouldn't call Saetia overrated. I thing they really wrote some amazing stuff and are becoming legendary but I think that Hot Cross can and hopefully will write music that Saetia never touched and become more legendary than Saetia. I'm not sure it will happen just because Saetia are now silent and how they burned so brightly but died so quickly. It's kind of like a Sex Pistols/Clash kind of thing.

[RetiredAt21]

Who called Saetia overrated?

[cbmartinez]

Scott.

/doesn't know who I'm talking about cause he's a noob

[RetiredAt21]

Oh, so sorry.

Pretty good price.. who did you buy it off?

[Wow]

I don't remember. I lost the link. I'll look for it sometime.

I'll probably be sending your records April 1st.

[Wow]

w00t! Thanks man

I am too. Hit me up on AIM so we can meet up.

[cbmartinez]

The Assistant is strange.

[RetiredAt21]

I would kill to see the Number Twelve.

[BuddyBigsby]

Hahaha, why did Retired get banned? Such a nice young fellow.

[Wow]

He gets me all hot and bothered.

Don't even make fun of emo when:

A) You have never even heard it
B) You like St. Anger

I made a thread about how everything is now "emo" and people are taking it seriously for some reason! I included a bunch of random objects and Taking Back Sunday as well, just to prove how ridiculous the list was.

Please someone post there, but don't get into a serious argument. It's the Pit, after all.

[_Alexisonfire_]

I hope my intervention will shut a couple of them up.

[YDload]

You did exactly what you weren't supposed to do, which was post a serious response. Granted, plenty of other people did the same thing, but you could have gotten things back on track! argh

Let's see what I can do to mess it up a bit :|

I like your avatar Alexisonfire.

Be sure to pet it carefully, this kitty comes with unlimited ammo, a hidden flamethrower and is extremely well trained in the exquisite art of close-combat using it's razor sharp claws :)

Seemed cool. I thought people might be interested. Is that okay?

[_Alexisonfire_]

Ok this is a rant against the whole "emocore" thing

Where the **** did "emocore" come from? Doesn't "emo" already mean emotional hardcore, making emocore = emotional hardcore hardcore??

And I see people use "emocore" to describe bands that have no link whatsoever to emo, but rather sound like pop-punk. Could someone explain? Like if emocore is somewhat of a legit word or just a misconception that spawned from the wannabe emo noobs who take MTV's word as their bible?

[cbmartinez]

I use because of lack of better word. I use it for bands that are pop-punk with the occasional scream though it is faulty because as you said, they have no emo in them. That's why Dfelon is advocating the term popcore, which I have begun to use.

I think on about 10 different pages in this therad you'll find me making the same argument about the word "emocore." It just doesn't make sense, so it's obviously something it is constructed for people who don't know any better, as in, people who get their music updates from Rolling Stone.

[RetiredAt21]

Rolling Stone is always wrong. I'm pretty sure they are the ones who started calling Taking Back Sunday "emo."

[BuddyBigsby]

It was them that started "screamo" too, I believe. Them or Spin. Whatever, same thing.

[_Alexisonfire_]

Aaaah so the source of all evil is Rolling Stones heh? :evil:

I was always wondering what musical "authority" was popular enough to actually start trends with terms

[cbmartinez]

I know Guitar World's top 10 screamo albums had me tricked.

[SGlove]

I was just reading in Rolling Stone and they said.. Hawthorne Heights I believe it was, was Screamo. It was either them or The Used. Either band being called Screamo is just as bad.

Who were Guitar World's top 10 screamo albums?
I am thoroughly intrigued.

[cbmartinez]

1. Rites Of Spring- Rites Of Spring (off to a good start)
2. Quicksand- Slip
3. Refused- The Shape Of Punk To Come
4. Fugazi- In On The Kill Taker
5. Thursday- Full Collapse
6. Sunny Day Real Estate- Diary (I don't think they even scream on this album)
7. At The Drive-In- The Relationship Of Command
8. Poison The Well- The Opposite Of December
9. Glassjaw- Worship And Tribute
10. Boysetsfire- Ater The Eulogy

Though they started off good, it ended up just being a list of bands that used screaming.

[DFelon204409]

It's a pretty sweet list though and does include a lot of important albums in that relative arena of screaming+singing+interesting post-hardcore.

[conniption]

Alexis on fire.
okay, thanks

[tornpictures]

Though they started off good, it ended up just being a list of bands that used screaming.

I don't see the link between 'screamo' and all the other bands (apart from Rits of Spring, even though the 'link' is pretty vague there, too) though..

So what the **** are Quicksand doing on that list?
Slint, alright, but Quicksand?? I've heard people dub Slint 'emo,' which is sort of okay, when I listen to Spiderland I hear the 'emo' connection with all the arpeggios and spoken word stuff, but calling Quicksand screamo or even emo is tantemount to murder.

[cbmartinez]

It was a strange list. But it had me thinking I was the ultimate screamo fan.

[captainhaddock]

as much as i love at the drive-in, to call them a screamo band seems very silly to me. in fact, calling any of the bands there screamo seems a tad odd.

i am aware everyone else has said this. but i thought i'd say it anyway.

[SGlove]

I agree with captain.

I've a question for torn.
Did you pick your username because you like Yaphet Kotto a lot? I know it's a song by them.
Just curious.

Only two or three of those deserve to be on the list, and that's if they used the word "emo" instead of "screamo".

I was wondering if you had their whole discography because I've only been successful in obtaining four of their songs.

[Sep]

Interpunk has three of their albums. (I think they're all EPs)

EDIT: Nope, all full-lengths. That's very cheap.

'The Killer Was in the Government Blankets' LP on Ebullition.
'Syncopated Synthetic Laments for Love' LP on Ebullition.
'We Bury Our Dead Alive' LP on Ebullition.

S/t 7" (Usual Suspects b/w Acoording to History) on Council.

Not true. They may not have any place in this forum, but they are a metal band that has resurrected the one thing the genre has been lacking lately: kickass band/song/album names. "Crusher Destroyer," "Where Strides the Behemoth," "Elephant Man," "I Am Ahab"... they all have a certain metallic charm to them.

No, you just don't get them. If you were into metal or musicianship, you'd be able to see they're talented. I'm not a huge fan, but I like them and saying they suck or that they're "redneck metal" is complete and utter stupidity.

[look_behind_you]

Well, i barely came upon this forum, yeah i know, and seeing that you ppl are looking for suggestions i suggest you stop listening to "emo" and "screamo" First of all "screamo" is not even real music, anyone can make a song and just scream into a mic in a very high girlike voice. the same with emo. its just untalented ppl "making" new music, in reality butchering it. so start listening to some real music and leave the crap.

- Nevermind is a decent album that's been dragged dead and bleeding across the cliffs of Overratedness for over 10 years now by kids like you that were still in diapers when it came out.

- Hahahahahaha, ohhhhhhh a Fender Strat. Excuse me!

- I agree, the emo that YOU'RE thinking of won't last. Too bad the emo we're talking about is going nearly twenty years strong. I mean I know it hasn't lasted nearly as long as grunge but.... oh, wait.....

Why are you bragging about a $200 guitar you assmunch.
You are bringing the name of the strat down. I hate you.
Get an American strat first, then brag about it. God.

(To all those bashing him and his stratocaster, I would like to take this time to apologize on his behalf. He knows not what he is talking about and is a stupid, stupid noob. He has been pwned by countless people already but keeps coming back for more. Do keep in mind such guitar greats have chosen the strat and he should not represent anything the strat stands for. Thank you, proceed flaming him.)

I'm old. whats Screamo?


This isn't exactly gonna answer your question but i believe the definition is in the hardcore/metalcore community thread(first page)
My favorite screamo band is Circle Takes The Square, i guess screamo is screaming that tends to use a lot of imagery and such, as does emo. Im not 100% on that, because i haven't been into screamo that long.

[cbmartinez]

Screamo is a heavier version of screamo, usually bordering on grind but having an extreme sense of art and emotion.

When I was a freshman a junior told me aabout them, and even saw them, but I never really listened to them. All I know is that they are two guys? And they play hella fast.

/pun

Sort of like Lightning Bolt.

[tornpictures]

Screamo is a heavier version of screamo, usually bordering on grind but having an extreme sense of art and emotion.

Hahahahhaha.

[Sep]

I can't believe most of you guys haven't listened..

http://www.purevolume.com/henryspencer

I'm listening now.

[cbmartinez]

Hahahahhaha.

My bad. The definition of a screamo band is any band that cries on stage.

[RetiredAt21]

I cried on stage once. Only because I dropped my guitar on my foot.

[cbmartinez]

Your band is emo then.

[RetiredAt21]

Awesome (?)

[shane italian]

You guys suck.

[DFelon204409]

Henry Spencer is decent. Their problem is their recording quality is bad. I don't mean like gettin-cred-for-having-lofi-recording-and-also-a-vinyl-sound but like, legit bad. Sounds like they recorded live and then just didn't mix it.

[frmautumTOashes]

Ok this is a rant against the whole "emocore" thing

Where the **** did "emocore" come from? Doesn't "emo" already mean emotional hardcore, making emocore = emotional hardcore hardcore??

And I see people use "emocore" to describe bands that have no link whatsoever to emo, but rather sound like pop-punk. Could someone explain? Like if emocore is somewhat of a legit word or just a misconception that spawned from the wannabe emo noobs who take MTV's word as their bible?

I thought the term emocore was around before emo. The first bands like Rites of Spring and stuff were called emocore because they evolved out of hardcore punk. Then, it was just shortened to emo. But recently people have been using "emocore" to describe bands like FATA, Thrice, A Static Lullaby etc., even though that's obviously wrong. Most people equate any music that has screaming and singing in it as emocore or screamo. I don't know, my whole explaination could be wrong, but that's how I see it.

[RetiredAt21]

I thought emo came first. Wait, who cares?

Ya. It doesn't matter. To say emocore in 1984-85 would be legit because you'd be making the connection between hardcore and emotional hardcore. Nowadays it's total BS to call a band emocore because "emo" is an established term for "emotional hardcore" and people butcher the original concept of "emocore" with A Static Lullaby. Why? Why ASL? It stings me so much.

[RetiredAt21]

DFelon, that's like the millionth time you've had to explain that. When will these people learn? Pffft, n00bz.

[BuddyBigsby]

At least he accepts it. We have a kid named Alexisonfire and a kid named after FATA, and both of them are intelligent and actually wanting to be educated. I for one think it's spectacular.

[RetiredAt21]

How could they have missed his 998347598745 other explanations on the very same topic?

[BuddyBigsby]

Eh, there's 77 pages to scroll through. Can't blame 'em.

[RetiredAt21]

True.

[_Alexisonfire_]

:D Still got a lot to learn though. And it's sad there next to no emo scene up where I live (Quebec, Canada)

[captainhaddock]

is anyone else digging the fact i just bought an antioch arrow/candle split 7" on ebay!!!
because i know i am...

[RetiredAt21]

Antioch Arrow is pretty sweet.

[cbmartinez]

I don't like them at all. But I've only heard their older stuff.

[Wow]

I love them. They make me all hot and bothered.

[RetiredAt21]

They make me quiver with excitement.

[Mr. Ron]

Antioch Arrow makes my panties all wet. :naughty:

[cbmartinez]

And when I say older stuff, I mean later.

[RetiredAt21]

I don't understand.

[cbmartinez]

I meant like Gems Of Masochism era is the only Antioch Arrow I've heard.

[BuddyBigsby]

I meant like Gems Of Masochism era is the only Antioch Arrow I've heard.

That stuff's really weird.

[cbmartinez]

Yeah, I remember AMG talking about how they went gothic on that album but the music just sounds lame.

[RetiredAt21]

I can't stand goths. But My Chemical Romance is SOOOO cool. Not. Eff them.

[Mr. Ron]

"Goth" kids don't even know what real goth is. They just get their cloths at the local Hot topic and listen to Korn.

[RetiredAt21]

I see alot of kids that hang out in front of Hot Topic. Pathetic.

[Mr. Ron]

I see alot of kids that hang out in front of Hot Topic. Pathetic.
I hate how the act too. "You don't understand me man....i'm such a tourtured soul" SHUT THE **** UP, LISTEN TO SOME YOUTH CREW AND CHEER UP.

/end rant.

[DFelon204409]

I can't stand goths. But My Chemical Romance is SOOOO cool. Not. Eff them.

Isn't the reason we flame people that they criticize our genre without getting it? That's what you're doing. Nobody really thinks MCR is goth and you're trashing cool bands with goth tendencies like Coil in the process of trying to be funny.

[PlasticGangster]

sweet.
my stepdad just gave me money for no reason at all.
is there any websites that sell band shirts like saetia, jeromes dream, racebannon, the vida blue/tend grand, love like...electrocution, etc?

[DFelon204409]

ebullition.com and levelplane.com and also lumberjack distro.

[PlasticGangster]

thanks.

[RetiredAt21]

DFelon, what is there to "get" about goths? You don't have to be a genius to "get" it. It was only a joke, settle down.

[BuddyBigsby]

Oh great, here comes 3 pages of intellectual pwnage.

[DFelon204409]

DFelon, what is there to "get" about goths? You don't have to be a genius to "get" it. It was only a joke, settle down.

First of all, most goths don't like My Chemical Romance. They often listen to dark ambient (Coil) or industrial. Anybody who thinks that it's as simple as boys with mascara and girls with baggy pants, both with dyed hair is really just stupid.

[SunnyDayRealEstateAM]

I need advixe. One of my bestfreinds has the wrong idea about emo, screamo, and hardcore. He thinks Atreyu and From Autumn To Ashes are hardcore. He thinks Brand New and Taking Back Sunday are emo. He thinks Thursday, Alexisonfire, and Silverstein are screamo. he also thinks that any guy that wears girl pants (we wear girl pants) and has greasy hair is emo. To top it off he thinks he is really emo. How do i tell him that wat he thinks is emo, screamo, and hardcore are tottally different things from wat he beleives with out sounding like an *******?

[DFelon204409]

Castration.

[RetiredAt21]

I know what "real" goth music is. I was just kidding. *hug*

[DFelon204409]

Okay whatever nobody cares anymore. www.epitonic.com is cool.

[cbmartinez]

Wow, epitonic is awesome!

Most of those bands don't have shirts out.. Make your own!

Or if y oucan't: www.ebay.com

[gimp fest]

ahh ebay, for all your needs

[Lowend]

or go to a show.

most bands have shirts for sale at their shows.

[gimp fest]

but then hes got to pay for the show ticket and all just to get a t shirt

i suppose you get to see them play though

[Lowend]

if i was going to get a shirt of a band i liked, i'd be more than willing to go to a show and pay 7 dollars to see them play.

btw, i'm seeing These Arms Are Snakes with Hopesfall next week. and i just felt like telling everybody.

[PlasticGangster]

Most of those bands don't have shirts out.. Make your own!

Or if y oucan't: www.ebay.com
yeah.
i'm going to start making my own.
i just bought a frame.
now i just need some ink and emulsion.

[RetiredAt21]

ebay is amazing. It has everything.

[Mr. Ron]

Ok, I've been getting into Thursday more and more and was wondering which album I should get of theirs.

[cbmartinez]

Full Collapse. Life-changing album for me.

[Mr. Ron]

Full Collapse. Life-changing album for me.
Yeah, I love the vocals and lyrics. Especially "Asleep in the chapel."

[BuddyBigsby]

Speaking of Thursday, I haven't see 40 around in a few days.

[40 oz 2 freedom]

Speaking of Thursday, I haven't see 40 around in a few days.

Aww shucks. I've been camping.

And as most of you know, I love me some Full Collapse.

[BuddyBigsby]

Thinking of buying this: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=15687&item=8300787023&rd=1#ebayphotohosting

and as long as I'm here, this too: http://revhq.com/store.revhq?Page=search&Id=HWA002

Thoughts?

[40 oz 2 freedom]

The shirt definately, and if you've never seen that 7" in any stores get it too.

[BuddyBigsby]

Never heard of it until I was on RevHQ just now, so I think it's new. Taken are broken up so it's not like you can get it at their shows... and I couldn't find it at any other distros. And there's only 160! Yeah, I think I'm going to do both.

The shirt's a bootleg, I think.

[RetiredAt21]

Yeah, it looks like a bootleg.

[tornpictures]

It is. Orchid never did shirts with that design or in that colour.
That guy has sold over 100 Saetia, Orchid whatever shirts. Will has e-mailed himabout not being into this and even asking the dude to stop, but he won't.

You got totally ****ing ripped off.
Zing!

[BuddyBigsby]

hahaha, oh well, I bought it. Boo hoo, it's only 10 bucks. I'll just turn around and sell it again. No sweat.

Or if I can still stop payment I'll do that.

[cbmartinez]

I thought you didn't like Orchid Scott?

[DFelon204409]

Orchid is awesome and don't call people by first names. It's a) confusing b) alienating of those who don't know the names. It's easier just to read the user names.

[cbmartinez]

Okay Nick.

"Epilogue Of A Car Crash" is awesome.

[BuddyBigsby]

I thought you didn't like Orchid Scott?

Took me a while, I love 'em now.

[cbmartinez]

Good call.

[metty16]

Heroin is a good example that emo doesn't suck.

[cbmartinez]

So is every band mentioned in the first post of this thread except for Clikitat Ikatowi and Antioch Arrow.

[Wow]

I like some Clikatat and I love Antioch.

[cbmartinez]

Clikatat boo! They suck. Send me some Antioch when I get online.

[sharpeys84]

hey guys, i recently purchased from first to last first full length album...and i think its unreal!! anyone aggree or should i say disagree??

[Wow]

Wrong forum.

[tornpictures]

Clikatat Ikatowi are one of the most amazing bands ever.
All incredibly talented musicians.

[RetiredAt21]

Never heard of them. I'll check them out.

[Wow]

They're a weird band. I listen to them when I want to relax.

[cbmartinez]

Clikatat Ikatowi are one of the most amazing bands ever.
All incredibly talented musicians.

I just can't into the vocals. I usually don't mind that spoken word thing, but they just annoy me.

[frmautumTOashes]

Ok, I've been getting into Thursday more and more and was wondering which album I should get of theirs.

Definately get Full Collapse. That's what got me into what emo. Not directly, but from there I started listening to some post-hardcore, nu-emo, post-emo or popcore or whatever the **** you want to call it, then emo.

Never heard of them. I'll check them out.

haha even I've heard of them.

[BuddyBigsby]

hahahahahaha, anyone ever heard a band called Devola? Oh man, and I thought Jerome's Dreams vox were bad...

[cbmartinez]

Emo band?

[Wow]

They're just amazing. That's all you need to know. And I do the best Devola vocal impression ever.

[YDload]

have you guys heard of Circa Survive? They're called post-hardcore, but I wouldn't trust that on its own. Also, the singer has very high-pitched vocals, but I don't mind.

[BuddyBigsby]

Good band, but not material for this thread.

[cbmartinez]

I don't see what's so great about them. The vocals are cool (I know plenty of people who think they are good just because they have Anthony Green) but the music is boring.

[BuddyBigsby]

I'd be guilty of jocking them because of TDF before jocking them because of Anthony Green.

[cbmartinez]

Makes sense...


What the ****?

[BuddyBigsby]

They have ex-This Day Forward...

[cbmartinez]

Ohhh. That's a plus. What's up with TDF's last album? It's all pop-punky.

[BuddyBigsby]

I wouldn't call it pop-punky.... although I'm deeply in love with it and it may be my favorite one.

[DFelon204409]

I don't see what's so great about them. The vocals are cool (I know plenty of people who think they are good just because they have Anthony Green) but the music is boring.

I like the music. I think it complements Green's voice well. I like what's going on here. Solid.

[DFelon204409]

Also, anybody care to talk about Frodus? They are a post-hardcore band that has many many emo moments scream wise and dissonance wise. They're really cool and have the DC sound but are from Gainesville, so you can hear a lot of HWM influence in the vocal tone, but that's mostly when they sing and not scream.

[Sep]

Do parts of Little Girls Pointing And Laughing by Alexisonfire sound very emo-ish to anyone else? Just the build-up and how the vocals work together. I got that kind of feeling.

Or maybe I'm just insane.

[tornpictures]

hahahahahaha, anyone ever heard a band called Devola? Oh man, and I thought Jerome's Dreams vox were bad...

On 'Presents' the JD vocals are bad, but on their other stuff they're amazing.

Frodus are awesome.

[BuddyBigsby]

I always thought he sounded ridiculous on the older stuff. Nevertheless, I still liked them.
