Blah, blah, blah.
I figured it's been a while since I wrote anything so I should probably post something.
Well its been a pretty sweet few weeks. I've seen: Strike Anywhere, Propagandhi, Ruiner, Unrestrained, Trash Talk, among others.
Went to see Gallows last night and they were pretty damn shit really. Aside from the fact that musically they were just, well, average, the whole experience was really a rather "I'm more punk than you, sex pistols (cough, shit) type of thing, complete with attempting to fight a member of the crowd for heckling them. then storming off stage. It struck me that they were probably pretty good live once, but have become a "stage band", used to thousands of screaming faces whilst they show off how tough they are. And this whole attitude of "lets see how hurt everyone can get" and "if you don't like us I'm going to hit you", pathetic. Is that really hardcore? No.
Its worth noting how fucking awesome Trash Talk were though, totally blew Gallows away.
Wanted to mention how outstanding the Ruiner show was too. All the bands (Ruiner, Unrestrained, The River Card, Crocus) were absolutely outstanding. Downtown Riots played too but i missed them.
Expect some lovely fisheye shots of the last couple of weeks when I get some money to get them developed.
So yeah, my last few weeks have been good in terms of music. Ooh, also seen Bangers like four times and Crazy Arm twice, which was fun. Random Hand and Dan Potthast tomorrow, then Kasa before Christmas.
Oh, one more thing...
FUCKING SICK OF IT ALL PLAYING PLYMOUTH NEXT YEAR.
