:lol:

i havent really been 'on point' and had interest in the hardcore scene for about 3 years now...

cool story bro

Australia has superior hardcore to America.

No, just stop now.

America has so many different scenes per region it's absurd.

[quote=cobert;17688437]No, just stop now.[/quote]
Make me. We have less chaff than you 'cause it's a smaller scene. The amount of mediocre hc bands from the US I've heard is astounding. The sad thing is, people tout them as being the bees ****ing knees when they're quite clearly not.

[QUOTE=Aaron;17688478]Make me. [/quote]

lol ok

It's not about numbers, it's about proportions bro. Take a stats class. We have more mediocre bands because we have more bands, but that just means we also have more good bands.

Lehigh Valley's scene is so good.

Of course a lot of good bands always break up and I'm a doomsayer and I'm like OMG ITS NEVER GONNA BE THE SAME AGAIN, and then bands like Heather Grey and Snowing crop up.

You do know I'm trollin' right?
In other news I'm thinking of starting up a few gigs soon. Just need a band, hmm.

oh Aaron, you make me tingle downstairs

aaron you make me tingle upstairs

like seizures

Keep rollin' rollin' rollin' rollin'
Keep rollin' rollin' rollin' rollin'
Keep rollin' rollin' rollin' rollin'
Keep rollin' rollin' rollin' rollin' ROLLIN'

[QUOTE=chrisbarnesfacialbongscar;17688378]for some reason random people ive never met gravitate to me and spark conversation with me at most shows i attend, and it really always surprises me because im never one to spark conversation unless i know a person

its awesome though because i love meeting new people, and i always appreciate open minded, kind individuals

all the time up until this past year?


august burns red hate is almost as trendy as august burns red


which makes it funny to me


and thats the only music i listen to

thing is ill always listen to a lot of different styles of music, so closed minded, opinionated douches like you will always make me laugh and i wont stop making fun of you[/QUOTE]

i really don't see how having strong opinions that you refuse to budge on is being close-minded, i see it as having real beliefs and not some floating scale of different variations on a single idea.



august burns red is about as it gets, even when i was way into that style i thought abr sucked a fat one. and i used to LOOOOOOOOOOVE scene metalcore.

never much liked scene metalcore other than like 7 angels 7 plagues

the metalcore i was real into was stuff like dep, botch, converge etc

even ptw i never got into

also, anyone like the hated?
stumbled across this the other day, the only thing i had of theirs before was the lp everysong

poison the well and underoath are awesome js

August Burns Red has some really ****ing cool harmonies that no other metalcore band ever really comes close to topping. It's awesome from the metal side of the spectrum in all honesty. Their drummer is ****ing awesome too, and I personally like their vocals a lot.

Ill breakdowns with cool leads yo.

Plus they're from Lancaster.

i dont understand the universal mx hate

poison the well rule idk why people dont like them

This might be my favorite blog on the internet. So much cool / rare stuff.


Also: I definitely dig the first few Poison the Well albums. They kind of lost me at [I]Versions[/I], but I still like them quite a bit.

Tropic Rot > Versions

tropic rot is ****ing awesome.

I still haven't heard it. I meant to pick it up after seeing them play a couple songs off it over the summer, but I never got around to it.

i've only listened to tropic rot once or twice but i thought it was frustratingly bad, definitely worse than versions, don't think they will ever even approach the absolute magnificence that is you come before you. that being said, I dug the I/II/III releases immensely, thought those showed a lot of promise but tropic rot just ended up sucking

also, cue cob being like "MPP IS THE BEST ANIMAL COLLECTIVE RELEASE EVER"

but then again I'm just a CLOSEMINDED TRENDHOPPING **** so i guess i wouldn't like tropic rot. but ycby will always hold a spot close to my heart, no matter how much new music I listen to, that album always ****ing floors me. its horribly, horribly underrated, I really wish it was on like Jane Doe level of appreciation. def top 10 of all time

cant stop listening to cascadian black metal

merriweather post pavilion is better than ycby tbh

pretty ****ing stupid to compare both of those albums

anddddd you're wrong as usual

yeah man pretty ****ing stupid

anddddd we shall see what the PEOPLE SAY

apparently we can just both agree that safer ****ing rooooooooooooooools

yeah man that song is ridiculously good. its too bad they couldnt fit it on strawberry jam somehow would have made me really appreciate it more

mewithoutyou is cute ya

butthurt

I haven't even listened to a full Animal Collective album. I just thought it was funny that my roommate called it 'fruity' and changed to Metallica.

metallica rules.

The more he listens to Master of Puppets, the more I warm up to it. I doubt I would ever sit down and listen to iy, but I never really complain when it's on because some songs are definitely rad.

Kill'em All is my fav Metallica.
