Davey says it should be in our hands in early 2006. If all goes well, that means sometime in the next 3-4 months we should have singles XD

And you can get 336 for like $50 on eBay or for like $10 out of the Despair Faction store. I did eBay.

Just been listening to some Tiger Army. Realized how much like AFI they sound. Kinda makes me like Tiger Army less and AFI more...

maco 09-17-2005 10:37 AM

hahah Adam drummed on TA's first album and Nick backups AFI and AFI backup Tiger Army on albums all the time

RIP Ian Curtis 09-17-2005 10:39 AM

Well I guess that makes sense. Everyone's been telling me Tiger Army are a rockabilly/psychobilly band. And I suppose they are kinda, in a modern, updated kinda way. But it's a way I don't like. They sound like they do everything halfarsed. They don't have the bollocks to go fully gothy like AFI, nor do they have the balls to go fully psychobilly like The Nekromantix or something. Just MOR lamosity.

albert_bass 09-17-2005 10:40 AM

Only the meteors are pure psychobilly.

RIP Ian Curtis 09-17-2005 10:41 AM

^^^^^^

You sir, are a god among men.

albert_bass 09-17-2005 10:42 AM

Heh, thank it to the über god, Fat Matty.

AFI's not goth. The Cult is goth. Bauhaus is goth. Skinny Puppy is goth. AFI is not goth.

Maybe they like both so they blend and do their own little genre-bender thing. AFI's stuff is pretty genre (and gender) bending

RIP Ian Curtis 09-17-2005 11:22 AM

Yeah I know all of that, but I needed one word to sum up how I feel about AFI's newer stuff. And gothy is the best one I could think of.

RIP Ian Curtis 09-17-2005 11:23 AM

And there's nothing wrong with liking both and incorporating both, without that there would be no psychobilly at all. But Tiger Army sound like a bad Nekromantix cover band making love/fighting with a bad AFI cover band.

Flagjacket 09-17-2005 11:38 AM

I like Tiger Army. Just that whoever's vocals sound too much like Davey's and the bass only goes click. But "Under Saturns Shadow" still rules.

RetiredAt21 09-17-2005 11:51 AM

Tiger Army are alright. I'm not really partial to their style of music though. It's ok in small doses.

RIP Ian Curtis 09-17-2005 11:53 AM

I'm madly in love with psychobilly and rockabilly, but I stole some tiger army off the internet and I was very let down.

RetiredAt21 09-17-2005 11:57 AM

I was REALLY disspointed in Tiger Army when I first heard them, but then they grew on me, and then I started to get sick of them.

RIP Ian Curtis 09-17-2005 12:01 PM

fair enough, I might listen some more and see what happens. Back to AFI, sorry for hi-jacking.

skankin'sophr 09-17-2005 07:43 PM

did anyone see AFI before they went all pop-punk? i'm talkin about the early days, eh?

El_Shiznit 09-18-2005 01:48 AM

AFI has like 3 pop-punk songs......



And Tiger Army seriously kick major arse. And they are psychobilly. And The Meteors are actually not as good as most psycho bands. Still good though.

Ya know, I was thinking the other day while listening to the Nerve Agents' "Jekyl And Hyde" that AFI probably does just as much outside of the band as they do for themselves. Davey sings backup for bands like The Nerve Agents, Tiger Army, etc. and has Son Of Sam. Adam was in Tiger Army for a bit. Hunter drums in another band. Jade was in Redemption 87 before AFI and did backup vocals for AFI when in Redemption 87.

This all not mentioning Geoff, Blaq Audio, and live performances.
I think almost every band related to them in some way is awesome. By this, I mean bands like the Swingin' Utters and SOIA too. Man, I would have loved to see them when they played shows with any of the above mentioned bands.

Wrong.


I pulled out Songs To Fan... yesterday to try and REALLY get into Refused. I sat there (in my car) and listened to every song very carefully to try and see why everyone thinks they're so great. Well, I still have the same opinion......



They are good. But not [i]that[/i] good. I guess I don't get them.
Why do you want me to get soulseek back so bad?

StruckEverywhere 09-18-2005 02:24 AM

[QUOTE=El_Shiznit]Why do you want me to get soulseek back so bad?[/QUOTE]

You can't get into them because you like AFI.

And my msn is ****ed so i never get to talk to you anymore :upset:

El_Shiznit 09-18-2005 02:27 AM

I only sign on to MSN about once a week nowadays.


Maybe I will get it back then. There are about 4 or 5 bands I have been meaning to check out anyways....

Excursions 09-18-2005 02:31 AM

Sup Dustin. So ... yeah, cool cucumbers.

El_Shiznit 09-18-2005 02:34 AM

Here I am, back on soulsex with the NZ posse.

I am on and the name is "el_shiznit". I'm not sure if that's what it was before.





Back to AFI.............
They rule.

Sep 09-18-2005 02:55 AM

One two fuc[B][I][/I][/B]king three. Just thinking of their new album makes me feel all warm and happy inside my stomach.

El_Shiznit 09-18-2005 03:12 AM

Haha, I wondered how long it would be until you found this thread.

StruckEverywhere 09-18-2005 03:18 AM

Sounds like you're about to break into the white boy rap.

Which 3? Girl's Not Grey is the only pop-punk one I can think of. Silver & Cold....maaaaaybe. The Leaving Song Part 2 isn't though. Pop-punk doesn't have those kind of choruses.

Don't forget Hunter Revenge. Hunter was in the Force. Jade was in Loose Change. Jade was in Influence 13 (with Nick 13), F3BW (with Nick 13 and Levi of Loose Change), Taxidermy (played bass), a hardcore one with Smith (no name), a pop punk one with Smith (no name), and an un-named one with Adam and Jeff. Jade also worked with The Static Age on their last album remixing one of the songs.

El_Shiznit 09-18-2005 04:39 PM

Yeah, I didn't feel like mentioning all their projects. I was getting tired writing what I already did.


3 was an estimate. But I think it's about right.

A Winter's Tale
Days Of The Phoenix
This Celluloid Dream

and I think that's about it. I don't think GNG is pop-punk to be honest. It's not all that different from something like The Nephilim. I'd put it under melodic hardcore.
