Yup good duides

Jason the Magnificent - 10-25-2009 at 06:16 PM

good dudes is the worst compliment for a band ever. there so many good dude bands that actually blow cocks that it could be a misleading comment....that being said...this band kicks unprecedented ass.

good dudes 9 out of 10 times = bad core.

yes, I'm a cranky old fucker.

first time I've actually been excited for a HC CD since Everyday Dollars.

Toured with these guys twice. Band is one of the best newer bands. Everyone in the band is a true to life ripper on their respective instruments. The new album "Forever Wounded" is excellent.

Really like this band, hadn't ever heard them until i saw them play.

Jason the Magnificent - 10-25-2009 at 07:38 PM

yeah I heard a song on their myspace before and honestly it was just mediocre...but this stuff of forever wounded is fucking rediculous.

Jason the Magnificent - 10-25-2009 at 07:44 PM

I'd love to order the CD but since that dude still hasnt got my OLC stuff out I think I'll live with soulseek.

necrobutcher - 10-25-2009 at 09:45 PM

I have seen them live a few times and their sound never grabbed me. I can tell they put their work in when it comes to practicing and crafting music but not my cup of tea.

The vocals kill it for me.

Jason the Magnificent - 10-26-2009 at 09:02 PM

lol...how would the vocals kill it...sounds like a mix of blood for blood, sheer terror, 100 demons, against the grain and brotherhood...that's like bucket of fucking win right there.

BDx13 - 10-26-2009 at 09:34 PM

nah, i agree.
i don't care for the vocals either.
vocal sound makes or breaks a band for me.

that said, i feel like i heard earlier stuff from these guys that i really liked.

tireironsaint - 10-26-2009 at 09:48 PM

Sounds like the typical meathead chugga chugga metallic stuff with a little youth crew influence thrown in. Well, the one song I couldn't make it all the way through did, anyway. I was hoping that it wouldn't be anything like that when I saw the thing on the page about them touring with Death Before Dishonor, but nope, the music kicked in and it was the same old, same old. I guess I just was born too early to get into any of that shit.

Jason the Magnificent - 10-27-2009 at 06:08 AM

lol, you 50?

vince - 10-27-2009 at 06:27 AM

One time I made a pie with all of my favorite ingredients- pumpkin, apple, banana, chocolate, pecan, and sweet potato...it should have been a bucket of win but it tasted like shit.

Jason the Magnificent - 10-27-2009 at 06:57 AM

Ok, I'll pretend that makes sense for a minute and stop.

Jason the Magnificent - 10-27-2009 at 07:02 AM

There I edited the title too to not lure any more unwilling listeners in with promises of the next Social D. :cool:

vince - 10-27-2009 at 07:07 AM

Social Disorder?

Sometimes it feels that way. I'm totally disconnected from this subgenre of Hard Core and just don't get it at all. All these bands sound like they took the most boring and overdone versions of the same style and added more metallic drum beats to me. I was surprised to hear a bit of the youth crew influence in there, but aside from that, there's nothing I can hear that shows any trace of the Hard Core stuff I've ever been into. I read your comparison to bands like Blood For Blood and Sheer Terror and thought maybe I'd dig it, but I just don't get it. Seems like maybe you're taking it a bit personal that a couple folks aren't into it and I dunno why, but that's my take on it. I don't get the Social D slam you threw out there either, I don't think anybody was looking for that, but whatever.

Jason the Magnificent - 10-27-2009 at 08:07 AM

I'm not slamming anything...it's clear that a lot of people don't like this type of thing to begin with...which is easily seen just from the posts MM makes alone where he gets a ton of the "generic chugga chugga" comments. There's obviously a section of this board that doesn't like that type of stuff...more power to em...hence the thread title change.

I'm not taking anything personally...I just don't see why the same generic comment needs to be made towards a genre of music...if you don't like the" tuff guy" style stuff, great but why waste the time to interject that? This isn't aimed at you personally but it comes up a LOT on this board.

I personally agree with you about most newer HC, I'm 35 and have seen a lot of crap bands moreso in the past 10 years than ever before. It's not because I can't relate it's because bands don't write good music...this is the first thing I could actually get behind since the Everyday Dollars CD...and that's maybe 2 years ago?

I saw a new band that carried a LOT of influences (not a hodge podge chaotic pie of them all at once) of other bands that get heralded on here constantly and figured I'd pass it along...I've wasted too much damn time on this already lol....you'd thing I'm these guys PR agent.

A lot of old hardcore, that you geriatrics consider to be the real deal, sounds just as generic and bland as hatebreed albeit in a different manner. Granted there was a ton of originality, and many amazing bands that came out of that period, but there was equal amounts of absolute dog shit music.

Nostalgia can always make something seem better then it actually was.
