Love these guys atm
Love these guys atm
I'm old. When I think Hardcore I think 80's LA punk or the D.C. scene. Maybe the Cro Mags from NYC
I can see why, sounds awesome. They remind me of Punch.
Still my favourite band. Half hardcore half punk rock, full awesome.
Also, beardothewierdo, solid choices. My best friend has a scholastic deth tattoo, "literally illiterate", on his forearm. I saw municipal waste in 05. And I always wanted to see los crudos.
My friend, to use their words, is a (I mean no offense at all, he says it, he's Puerto Rican and embraces his culture and family, which I also do).
Speaking of los crudos, and to an extent Martin, the singer, and since you brought up gloss and queers...limp wrist. Saw them in NYC about 6-7 years ago. Unreal.
I wish gloss would stay around. Their first demo is unreal. The opening track just demands attention. Maybe they got tired of being at the forefront of a political movement in an underground scene that started to get attention. Needless to say, that first demo rips.
We all remain close friends, but are at a point where we need to be honest about the toll this band is taking on the mental and physical health of some of us. We are not all high-functioning people, and operating at this level of visibility often feels like too much.
We want to measure success in terms of how we’ve been able to move people and be moved by people, how we’ve been able to grow as individuals. This band has become too large and unwieldy to feel sustainable or good anymore—the only thing growing at this point is the cult of personality surrounding us, which feels unhealthy. There is constant stress, and traveling all the time is damaging our home lives, keeping us from personal growth and active involvement in our communities. Being in the mainstream media, where total strangers have a say in something we’ve created for other queer people, is exhausting.
The punk we care about isn’t supposed to be about getting big or becoming famous, it’s supposed to be about challenging ourselves and each other to be better people. It feels hard to be honest and inward when we are constantly either put on a pedestal or torn down, worshipped or demonized. We want to be whole people, not one-dimensional cartoons.
@BeardotheWeirdo damn thanks for posting those. haven't listened to scholastic deth or los crudos in forever
saw municipal waste with converge and the red chord years ago people had boogie boards and were jumping off the stage with them lol
speaking of los crudos... lol
Did that show with municipal waste and converge happen do be in 05? In Poughkeepsie? Rythmden fest?
If so, I was there. Shai huluds "reunion" show. Also, zombie apocalypse, modern life is war, and the banner played. It was crazy.
And to beardothewierdo, cursed is fucking awesome. Got into them only a few years ago, in my d-beat phase, but still love 2 and 3. That intro into night terrors on 3 is awesome. Have you listened to sect yet? It has Chris on vocals. A record store near me sells his "vegan bacon fat".
