I think the popularity of PUP (and I am in this camp) has to do with them filling a particular void left by the absence of D4.

Maaaaaaan why'd you have to remind me of D4

I saw Touche Amore tonight for the first time in a little while and folks, they're still the best band around.

I really dig Touche Amore, saw them during their Stage Four tour and they were amazing.

I've been getting back in to them and hardcore in general. Right now I'm listening to Strike Anywhere, Underoath, and old Title Fight, can anyone suggest more hardcore/emocore?

I actually saw them with Pianos Become The Teeth, and they played the entirety of Old Pride (TA played ...To The Beat Of A Dead Horse) which just reminded me how good those first two albums were, so I would recommend Old Pride and The Lack Long After by PBTT.

Gatherers are also real good.

I couldn't sing a long with most of the Lack Long After songs when I was at a show back when it was first released, it seemed too personal.

I've never had problems listening to Stage Four except for the end of Skyscraper with his mom's last message, especially given the last line of New Halloween. I don't know if "brave" is the right word to describe putting that in the actual album, but it's something that I couldn't do.


EDIT: man, I have such deep feelings about Touche Amore and I'm so glad they weren't one of the countless bands in the genre that broke up years before I first heard of them.

Saw La Dispute tonight (and Gouge Away but only half of their set because I had to work. drat super early all ages shows). It's been almost 7 years and I've never seen them as a headliner so I was excited to get the full experience. Thought it might be weird because I've only listened to the new album once but the most represented record was actually Wildlife, which is one of my favorite albums of the entire decade. They didn't play any of my absolute favorites from that (I just want to see them play King Park once!) but obviously the other songs still sound good as hell. I See Everything is a pretty hard-hitting song for me due to personal reasons and it was great to see.

PUP ripped, the openers were very positive and pleasant. They don't do an encore seemingly on this tour so you can get out of there after the last song.

What band was that? I saw them a bunch when they came through, a few times before that Phish guy paid them to change their name. Matt was rad and always sat around and talked to everyone.

Anybody else get the new Bad Religion album yet? First impressions?

I listened to about half of it on the way to work and uhhh let’s just say I would have been fine if True North had been their final album. The only good songs so far are Chaos from Within and My Sanity, which were released ahead of time.

IMO it fits in with the last few albums: it's fine, some duds, some middling, and a few standouts. Lose Your Head, Big Black Dog, and Since Now are the weakest songs. Big Black Dog is down with The Hippy Killers as some of the worst songwriting they've done. Of the songs they didn't release ahead of time, I think The Approach, End of History, and Age of Unreason are the strongest. I can hear how the acoustic versions probably sounded with those.

My one sentence review is that it's Stranger Than Fiction crossed with Process of Belief but everyone's twenty years older.

It's not awful but it's like the twelfth best Bad Religion album.

I love Stranger than Fiction, so maybe this one's for me. My friends a huge fan of them, and he seems overall pretty happy after listening for a few days. I think he even likes that weird prog album they did, mind.

It's a Bad Religion album released post-2010, it is what it is. Few highs (the solo on Do the Paranoid Style is great), few lows, bunch of middlin' stuff. Three or four new songs to shuffle into the tour setlist. Twelfth-best seemed harsh on its face but out of seventeen? OK, yeah, twelfth-best seems about right.

It's also bizarrely the sturdiest piece of clothing I own, real quality material

I actually leave it off when I rank their albums, same as the live ones and comps. I do think with any band that has as extensive a discography as Bad Religion, ranking the middle and lower tier albums is where you get a sense of people's tastes; especially with BR, where more or less everyone has the same top three.


T-1. Suffer
T-1. No Control
T-1. Against the Grain
4. Generator
5. New Maps of Hell
6. The Empire Strikes First
6.5. How Could Hell Be Any Worse? (reissue; fka 80-85)
7. The Gray Race
8. The Dissent of Man
9. Into the Unknown
10. Recipe for Hate
11. How Could Hell Be Any Worse? (original version)
T-12. Age of Unreason
T-12. Process of Belief
T-12. Stranger Than Fiction
15. No Substance
16. True North
17. The New America

I just meant I forgot it existed. It's just one of those releases where it's like... I don't know, it's fun I guess? It feels more like a need to sell Chrismas themed merch.

And with that...

I could probably break them down into three buckets of albums and interchange them. Like you wrote, some of them are very close together in their excellent overall quality, and some have The Hippy Killers and I Love My Computer

The New Bad Religion is decent enough, there’s not really enough stand out tracks for me to say I love it.
I also checked out The Jason’s new album, I don’t think this band are changing the world but there’s something about them that I adore, highly recommended if you enjoy pop punk.

All this talk of sonic Boom 6, I’m sure they were everywhere a few years ago, now all of a sudden they dissapeared.
