[QUOTE=shane italian]Oh man, Irvine is beautiful. I just moved here from Dallas, TX. and UC Irvine is like 5-10 minutes from the beach (Newport). It's a really good school too, they just added new dorms.[/QUOTE]
Nice, I will definitely give it more consideration if I can get a scholarship.
I see that there are lots of shows down there, which is definitely a plus.

Where do you live right now?

I live in Yreka, California. It is right on I-5, about 20 miles south of the Oregon Border. Yeah, I looked at it, only thing is that it is really big.

True, nothing compared to UCLA, but it has about 24,000 compared to 14,000 at Santa Cruz. I didn't apply there though.

Anyway, is it a lot of local bands down there, or is it mostly just tours?

And if you like Terror or Donnybrook be prepared to see tons and tons of them.

I'm seeing Most Precious Blood/Shotpointblank on the 29 and 30th.

31st is Terror/It Dies Today/Cold War/Donnybrook/Day Of Contempt

I most likely won't go though.

Why would you miss that?

Day Of Contempt are awesome

[QUOTE=noneed66]Why would you miss that?[/QUOTE]I only have so much cash.

I can usually only afford one or maybe two shows a month.

[QUOTE=shane italian]I only have so much cash.[/QUOTE]


Save your pocket money

I think i'm seeing Terror in January, i missed them last time because it was raining.

[QUOTE=DFelon204409]For people's education we should also make a list of all of the professors on the subject who actually know what's going on. That way they won't be getting bogus info from some stupid n00b.[/QUOTE]
hey im a semi newb... and i have a questino if any of oyu are from bremerton wash. do oyu know of the local bnad kane hodder and if so would you consider them hardcore or scremo?

Any mp3s?

[QUOTE=Silvermedalmafia]Luckier than me. My "scene" is myself. There are some kids that are pop-punk emo (Taking Back Sunday, Matchbook Romance etc), some harder mainstream (Green Day, Billy Talent, The Vines) and some metalheads.[/QUOTE]
same
Actually 3 other people maybe that like the same music as me.

[QUOTE=nothing6]what chu talkin bout, the jersey scene is good. We may not have as many shows as Buddy does, but we do have a fair amount.[/QUOTE]

I forgot to mention I have DEP / Zao / ETID / Misery Signals next week also.

[QUOTE=YellowShirt]that would never happen because screamo sucks it's just a bunch of whinny pussys[/QUOTE]

Yeah, my favorite screamo band will make your favorite band sound like N'Sync, pu[font=verdana]s[/font]sy.

hahaha, let me know what the pit looks like at DEP, I always wondered what their shows are like, since they have odd time signatures.

My friend saw DEP a few months ago and apparently some guy was breakdancing.

Cant imagine hardcore dancing at those shows, must be a challenge to keep up.

I saw Remembering Never, The Black Dahlia Murder, Terror, and Unearth on Wednesday. It was fawking sweet.

I saw that tour tonight but only Unearth. Worst crowd ever. Unearth kinda act like rock stars now too.

[QUOTE=BuddyBigsby]I saw that tour tonight but only Unearth. Worst crowd ever. Unearth kinda act like rock stars now too.[/QUOTE]
Unearth seemed like normal guys to me, they signed alot of stuff and hung out with people after the show, as did terror. Tonight I saw Fear Before The March Of Flames

Haha, yeah, they signed stuff. Case in point.

[QUOTE=BuddyBigsby]I forgot to mention I have DEP / Zao / ETID / Misery Signals next week also.[/QUOTE]

I have that in 2 weeks, but I'm not sure if I can go. :angry:

It's the day after I see the Beastie Boys & Talib Kweli. hXc

[QUOTE=Sk8SkaNJ]Thats cause NJ rules. You going to the Souls/Avail/SA/D4 show tomorrow at BB Kings?[/QUOTE]


Nope. I'm at school right now... I'll be going to Most Precious Blood, Anterrabae, The Backup Plan, Zombie Apocolypse at CBGB's the following Sunday.

wow there is still a scene at cbgb's? is it primarilly hardcore these days?

[QUOTE=AARON27]I'm seeing Most Precious Blood/Shotpointblank on the 29 and 30th.[/QUOTE]


what are most precious blood like? shotpointblank aint too shabby, but not the best band in the world. They are fun, they are like hatebreed and pantera's lovechild. mindsnare is where it's at.

[QUOTE=axeslinga_32]wow there is still a scene at cbgb's? is it primarilly hardcore these days?[/QUOTE]

CBGB's has everything these days. Blindside and Mewithoutyou played their recently, I saw Stretch Arm Strong, Terror, and Between the Buried and Me there in June, I saw Comeback Kid, Champion, and Blacklisted there in July, and Autopilot Off and The Riddlin Kids even played there in June.

There is also a lounge downstairs that a lot of local bands play at--check out [url]www.purevolume.com/yourdaystrong[/url].
