Olive Tree

[Wow]

You all need to hear them. Desperately.


Hit me up for mp3's. Don't know of a website.

[deadohiosky9]

****ing awesome band, so passionate and intense.

[RetiredAt21]

I'll hit you up for MP3's later...I'm FINALLY getting cable internet!!! :)

[tornpictures]

Yep

[deadohiosky9]

torn, have Olive Tree done any splits?

[tornpictures]

Nope don't think so. But they were going to do one with Polar, or MMotMoth or Marc Anthony or something I think

[deadohiosky9]

a split with MMotMoth would be sweet, and didn't Polar break up?

[tornpictures]

Yeah either that or hiatus

[deadohiosky9]

they are doing a split with Toru Okada, thats what I was thinking of.

[tornpictures]

Ah yes that's it

[deadohiosky9]

so what all have these guys released besides the demo?

[Wow]

How can a thread on an awful band like cwv have more people replying than a thread on an amazing band?

[Matt?]

pretty easily i guess when no one has heard of them

unfortunately

[deadohiosky9]

well they could check em out, you know.

[whiteminority]

That sounds kick ***.

I dig Olive Tree but combatwoundedveteran is a lot better.

[deadohiosky9]

dude its Olive Tree, not Olive Branch.

[whiteminority]

whoops

[Dancin' Man]

Do they sound anything like MMotM? (P.S. my first show with a non local band was with them!)

[Wow]

That sounds kick ***.

No they're not. Simple as that.

[deadohiosky9]

Do they sound anything like MMotM? (P.S. my first show with a non local band was with them!)

they don't really sound anything like MMotM, but MMotM are awesome.

[whiteminority]

No they're not. Simple as that.
Ash this band is good, but cwv are a whole lot better.

[bottlerocket]

Ash, thanks for these guys, man...they're awesome.

-Gav

[deadohiosky9]

gav likes em! hell yeah. where have you been man? haven't seen you around here lately.

[Wow]

Ash this band is good, but cwv are a whole lot better.


No they're not.

[whiteminority]

These guys are cool but they are like every other emo band out there. Cwv at least have a somewhat different sound in what they did.

[bottlerocket]

gav likes em! hell yeah. where have you been man? haven't seen you around here lately.

Haha, sweet, people are remembering me!

Two reasons:

1- My house caught on fire and my room went up in smoke, including most of my bass equipment, save my Stiletto Elite 5 and Peavey TNT 115 amp, so I've been sorting that out.
2- I was in Philly all weekend from Thursday-Sunday.

Thanks, though. :p

-Gav

[Wow]

They're not like every other emo band out there. Listen to their demo.


Gav:
Dude, that sucks man. Hope everything works out for the best. :)

[Matt?]

the first song off the demo is my favorite i think

[bottlerocket]

Gav:
Dude, that sucks man. Hope everything works out for the best. :)

Thanks, man...luckily enough, my main bass and practice amp were at my drummer's house...my backup bass and my main cab/amp were at my house...sucks. About $1k of bass equipment turned to ash. :(

sucks dude, insurance or something?

[bottlerocket]

^ Working on it...they said they'd cover it but so far nothing. I paid for everything but I had my dad said he paid for it so it'd be under his insurance since I'm under his name (I'm 17...18 in a few weeks) so anything that's mine is technically his, which is covered by insurance. He can argue it's my hobby and I'm thinking about a career in it and really need it compensated.

That's what I told him, anyway...hopefully it works out. They said they'd pay for it but so far no money yet or anything...

-Gav

[deadohiosky9]

sorry about your misfortune Gav, that sucks. hopefully that insurance shi't will work out.

ben: olive tree does not sound like every other emo band. most 90's emo bands sound the same, most minor threat-esque bands sound the same, most grindcore bands sound the same (shi'tty), etc. Olive Tree are different, they are rooted in a similar style but I think they sound very different. They've taken one style and made it their own, added their own special Olive Tree twist to it.

[bottlerocket]

It happened like a week or two ago, haha, but thanks, guys. :D

So anyway, Ash, after you sent me Olive Tree I listened to it through twice and I like it a lot. It rules. Good call.

-Gav

[Wow]

Yeah, they're absolutely incredible. Been listening to them off and on for the best two days.

[Matt?]

yeah these guys are awesome

big up ash

Fine, I am glad you presented an actual argument besides just saying no. I still don't agree with you at all, but **** it.

[tornpictures]

They do sound the same as 99% of other 90's emo bands

[Wow]

Eh, I disagree. "Waterbed" does, but the rest of the album just sounds different. I dunno, more gentle than most emo I guess. Something like that. Can't think of the word I'm looking for.

The only grind band you listen to is Anal C'unt I bet.

[Wow]

Shut up, Retired, this isn't about grind; this is about Olive Tree.

[deadohiosky9]

Retired: I don't listen to grind.

[Jawaharal]

I ended up finding their demo. yay

[deadohiosky9]

wooo. now listen to that shi't!

[RetiredAt21]

Shut up, Retired, this isn't about grind; this is about Olive Tree.

Grind > Olive Tree

[RetiredAt21]

Retired: I don't listen to grind.

Then your opinion of grind doesn't matter.

[Wow]

Grind > Olive Tree


1. No
2. Shut the **** up about grind.
3. Olive Tree are amazing.

[Wow]

Then your opinion of grind doesn't matter.


You don't listen to Olive Tree so your opinion of Grind being better than them (Which it isn't) doesn't matter. Now get out of my thread, thanks.

[RetiredAt21]

If you think one band is better than an entire genre of music, you're crazy.

[Wow]

If you think one band is better than an entire genre of music, you're crazy.


You were crazy to compare them in the first place.


And considering grind sucks, yes Olive Tree is better than the entire genre.

[RetiredAt21]

1. Grind doesn't suck
2. Olive Tree ISN'T better than the entire genre
3. <3

[Wow]

1. Grind is awful
2. Yes, Olive Tree IS better than the entire genre.
3. </3

[RetiredAt21]

1. Grind is awful
2. Yes, Olive Tree IS better than the entire genre.
3. </3

1. No
2. No
3. :(

[Wow]

1. You're wrong
2. You're wrong
3. :thumb:

[D & V]

The only grind band you listen to is Anal C'unt I bet.
Pwnt!!!!!

[RetiredAt21]

1. No I'm not
2. Again, not I'm not
3. :p

[Wow]

Pwnt!!!!!


Not true and that's not the only grind band he listens to. Infact, he doesn't listen to grind at all, but has heard enough to know it's bad.


If you want to discuss grind, start a topic on it. back to Olive Tree, k thanks.

[RetiredAt21]

Actually, if anyone wants to know more about grind, visit my grind/crust community thread.

[Matt?]

a good man is hard to find

luvin it

[Wow]

"As long as I'm always sleeping, there's no need to concern myself with opening my eyes more than halfway!"

[k1ckthecat]

this thread beats the piss out of cwv

[deadohiosky9]

hell yeah

[Rockafella]

I love Olive Garden.

[deadohiosky9]

not funny.

[Wow]

I love Olive Garden.


Bad pun.

[RetiredAt21]

this thread beats the piss out of cwv

Only because Ash started a stupid agrument. If it weren't for that, this thread would be dead.

[tornpictures]

You started posting about grind, tool

[RetiredAt21]

They started it.

[bottlerocket]

Ohiosky said something about grind sounding the same and you said something about Anal Cunt...who cares? Just keep grind talk out of this thread.

Olive Tree is good.

/thread

-Gav

[Wow]

<3 Gav.


I've come to the conclusion that "Penny Crushing" is awesome.

[RetiredAt21]

Alright.

[deadohiosky9]

i still like Waterbed the most.

[Wow]

I like that and "This is what happens when you stop believing in magic."

[deadohiosky9]

yeah, that song title always manages to catch my attention too.

[DaveToopes]

I can't find anything on soulseek, can someone AIM it to me?

[deadohiosky9]

i can.

[DaveToopes]

Thanks.

[Matt?]

thought this was worth a bump.

on the toru okada myspace it says the split was coming out feb/ march
wondering if there was any news or if it came out or what, because i had trouble finding anything

but... i did find some mp3's on slsk and it sounds good

edit: i dunno if this is all but

http://server2.hxcmp3.com/bands/15542/index.php

this has their songs on the split i think (strangely on here it says that the split was gonna be released last september)

i dunno about the toru okada song, i think one is on their myspace.

[bottlerocket]

DESPITE THE MILES BETWEEN YOUR HOME AND MINE
YOU'RE ALWAYS ONLY INCHES FROM MY HEART

Sooo good...thanks again, Ash.
