...and i like it.

people make a big fucking deal about this band.
"they're great" - "they suck"
"they suck" - "they're great"
shut the fuck up.
you either like it or you don't.
i like it.
and when i see shit like the video below, obviously they know how to put on a show.

see, that shit's fuckin hyper.

lifeisabitch - 9-4-2009 at 01:18 PM

still unsure if I'm into it or not....
the music is pretty hyper, but at the same time kind of bland song after song...
they go off live, but yeah so does everyone...

gavin - 9-4-2009 at 01:32 PM

i like that it's not fucking metal
as lame as that seems it goes a long with with me these days

I gotta say they are awesome live. Last time I saw them, the singer played the entire show from the pit.

clevohardcore - 9-4-2009 at 02:06 PM

Not bad and they do rock it live on this vid. They need some new shorts though. I mean really cut off jeans that are tight as woman's jeans. That shit was played out 20 years ago.

whoa i didnt know we could imbed videos on here.....

random - 9-4-2009 at 03:00 PM

jury is still out for me. the cover gavin posted with the studio version is good. i'm not so excited about the others, but i don't hate them either. for me, i think it's a matter of thinking too many live recordings sound like shit, so i can't really judge them based on this. not gonna buy their album, but might not turn it off if it's playing.

and i've never heard of this band before this thread or the love-hate opinions that apparently most people have about them.

not really my thing, but i can see why people like it. reminds me a lot of the kind of metal all the sXe kids i knew used to listen to... mostly metal but with these really clean artsy guitar parts.

gavin - 9-4-2009 at 03:43 PM

to me its english dudes take on american hardcore
i hear no metal in it
unlike 90% of the shit that is being passed off as "hardcore" from american these days

lifeisabitch - 9-4-2009 at 04:08 PM

Those who are in control of such things try to market them as metal in the states...
where as green day is punk this is metal...
people in suits no nothing about marketing music and it shows...
and they play them on the sirius metal station all the time,
but no much else that is punk by any means

I remember when refused blew up it was this same kind of feeling for me
it's good but it feels forced at times...
i don't know enough of the bands history but they did get signed to a major and blow up kinda quick...

Jason the Magnificent - 9-4-2009 at 04:29 PM

Metal, hardcore, gothic masterbatory sink rock....whatever it be....sounds pretty borin.

LordActionWood - 9-4-2009 at 09:27 PM

ok, wow...that is a decent version of "staring at the rude boys"...this band would have never gotten my attention if it wasn't (or should i say, weren't) for geoff pointing that out.

I accept the interpretation that his is an english band filtering modern american HC.

I can't decide how to catagorize them....

the bass player has FUCKING DENIM CLAM DIGGERS on in that one video....

Not feeling the Ruts cover honestly. Really misses the feeling of the original to me, and I love that song. They look like they bring alot of energy to their show, and like Geoff said, at least they don't sound like every new hardcore (read: shitty generic metal) band.
