any fans of ENSIGN here
I got most of their stuff and noticed I go through phases of really liking this band. The cd's sit for a while but I always pick up DIRECTIONS OF.....
and PRICE OF... and rock them out fro a few days like crazy. One band that has always illuded me seeing them live too. Everytime they come to
Cleveland they bail out for one reason or another. Great band.

This is another one of those bands that friends think I will like for some reason. I fucking HATE everything I've ever heard from them. I never
understood why people think there's something of the Old School to them, they sound boring as hell to me. I have a whole list of bands that friends
tell me will finally be the one new band that they can turn me on to and all of them suck.

They are not oldschool at all and I know some people think that. They are definitely on the lighter side of hardcore but they are great.
T.I.S dude you hate everything. It's ok though. You like the REPLACEMENTS and I like probably their weakest record. "YOU BE ME FOR A WHILE.........and
I'll be you. TO TIRED TO GET THROUGH. A REBEL WITHOUT A CLUE..................." I WAS FROM CANADA" blah blah blah. that record is good.

it's funny people think they're old school. what i never liked about them was that they were so new school! ha!
seriously though, i have one album of theirs, and i listen to it maybe a few times a year. i just never really got on board with them.
If I fail math, there goes my chance at a good job and a happy life full of hard work.

I liked the 1st 7" and saw them a bunch of times in 96/97, but I kind of lost interest after that. I got the first Lp, but other than the 1 or 2
songs, it did nothing for me.
Interesting fact about Ensign. No one in the band is an original member at this point. I know Tim sang on all the records, but there was a guy
before him, albeit a very short time. Still, I think its pretty funny.

It's the same with Napalm Death. Still going with no original members.

I can dig Ensign, I've only got "cast the first stone" but I can dig it. They remind me of SOIA at times... Never seen them live though.
Trial's got some good shit out there, too bad the singer's a retard. Although I hear he's quite good at juggling... like professional and shit.

I think people think of a band as old school when they have their logo in varsity lettering... Go figure...

I didn't mean to imply that my friends actually called Ensign an Old School band, just that they thought they had more of an Old School flavor to them
and were less metal than most of the worthless crap that calls itself HC these days. They said the same thing about Kill Your Idols and I hate that
band too. With Kill Your Idols I can at least see the Old School influence in the music, but that's definitely one of those bands that is killed by
the fucking horrible vocals in my book. They might be decent if it wasn't for that singer who sounds like an abused dog howling, but as it is I can't
even listen to their covers of songs I love because they butcher 'em all so badly.

That sounds interesting, I wouldn't mind checking it out. I'm a sucker for cover songs! I never really liked Ensign, but always thought it was a good
name.

I saw Ensign play a full set of only cover songs. It was cool, because Im not really impressed by them and the covers sounded good. My friend lent
me a cd of theirs and I listened to it maybe twice before giving it back.

I'm definitely with you on the Kill Your Idols thing. Hate the vocals.

Ensign is sorta like Vision to me. They have been around for so long and dont get notariety. Now I'm a huge Vision fan, but not so much Ensign. I've
seen Ensign open for Killing Time and their set was alright.
I do like some Ensign songs, but they did a track called '15years' with Lou (SOIA) Koller. Now thats a solid track, no contest.
