An old friend is in Fang Island and this is gonna be the first time I've seen him in years too, so that'll be cool. Man, I wish I could go to that, but I'm broke as poo poo. Doomriders absolutely destroyed when I saw them at Great Scott in February.

ManifoldCuriosity posted:Nah, don't worry about it, they're definitely somewhere in the punk/hardcore genre. I'm not sure what parts of them you like, but try out some of this: I'll second Drive Like Jehu and Million Dead, plus throw in a suggestion for BearVsShark. Terrorhawk is a pretty amazing album falling into that early-2000s post-hardcore set.

punxnbutter posted:I still love the Profits (they split male/female vocals) Ooh, that reminds me, Kill The Man Who Questions was an awesome crusty hardcore band that did this. Also, I'm still a really big fan of Pretty Girls Make Graves early stuff. From "Good Health" onwards they got more "indie-ish" with the synths and everything, but their self titled 4-song EP is an excellent little slice of angular art-punk.

We Bury Our Dead Alive is sweet, except that in the middle of Chime The Day they start playing the intro to War Pigs by Black Sabbath for some reason and it takes me out of the album every time. Seriously, listen to that song right now. It's hilarious.

Inspector_71 posted:I saw that tour in Boston, before I really gave a poo poo about Touche Amore. They put on a really good show, and this new album from then is really amazing, so I'll be more excited to see them next time they come through town for sure. I was at that show too. Really, I have a hard time getting into Touche Amore's records. None of them have really grabbed me. However, I've seen 'em live twice now and both times they absolutely destroyed.

I haven't been to the upstairs in a while. I went to the downstairs to see Converge, Dropdead, Trap Them, and All Pigs Must Die a month ago, it was pretty intense. It was all ages, which is kinda rare for the mideast, and I thought I had heard that Converge was banned from there (at the very least, I think it was their first time there since No Heroes came out in 2005). I got searched pretty thoroughly, had my bike tool taken away from me, and got X'd up for my expired ID. And speaking of the middle east upstairs, Bomb the Music Industry! on tuesday? Hell yes.

Off topic, but man, are all of The Hope Conspiracy's albums as awesome as Death Knows Your Name? Somehow I've managed to go years without ever actually listening to them despite being a hardcore fan that grew up in and around Boston. I finally gave 'em a listen after really getting into the All Pigs Must Die EP and... goddamn.

Not really sure if this belongs here or the metal thread, but I don't hang out in the metal thread. Anyway, I saw Cave In a few days ago and they tore poo poo up. They've gotten back to the heavier first-two-albums sound, but they threw in a couple of slower tunes too (wasn't expecting to hear Reanimation off the new album). Nothing off Jupiter though, which was disappointing.

omg car crash posted:Pulling Teeth is breaking up. This is unfortunate, but I don't know where they could've gone after Funerary anyway (although in terms of stuff that came out this year, I thought the one original song from their split with Irons was better than anything off that album). They really pushed their sound to the limit. Seems like an appropriate time to break up. I wish I got to see 'em live again, though. I was lucky enough to see them with Trash Talk, 108 and Converge at an Elk's Lodge like 3 years ago. poo poo was badass.

On the one hand, using homophobic slurs is (obviously) wrong and the guy from Dropkick Murphys is (obviously) a douchebag. On the other hand, "I refuse to listen to a band anymore because they said something I don't like" has always struck me as a kind of stupid and shortsighted approach to art. But, y'know, it's Dropkick Murphys, so who gives a poo poo.

heeebrew posted:It's more like "I refuse to contribute in any way to someone who uses homophobic or racist (any kind of hate speech, really) words." That means not listening to them, not buying their music or seeing them live or wearing merch sporting their names. I demand that discrimination due to factors outside of someone's control be eliminated from society. I don't care if you discriminate because of facial hair though, go ahead and be my guest, I'll still listen to your band. That's fair, and I'm not gonna tell you not to do that. It's just always seemed reactionary to me, though. Like, I really like Elvis Costello. Recently, I read this on Wikipedia: Wikipedia posted:During the American concert tour for Armed Forces in April 1979, Costello engaged in a drunken argument with Stephen Stills and Bonnie Bramlett in a Columbus, Ohio, Holiday Inn hotel bar, during which Costello referred to James Brown as a "jive-arsed friend of the family," then upped the ante by pronouncing Ray Charles a "blind, ignorant friend of the family." Now, obviously, since I'm a rational human being, I think that Elvis Costello did a major-league rear end in a top hat thing right there. But am I going to toss out my copy of "Trust"? Hell no, that would be childish, it's a great record, and the fact that Costello just might be a racist rear end in a top hat doesn't affect that. I mean, I'd like it if every artist whose work I appreciated was also a decent person, but that's not the case. John Landis is a child murderer, but that doesn't make me like An American Werewolf in London any less. This is kinda off-topic, I guess, though.

Rape is most definitely inexcusable, but I hope if you refuse to listen to music by that band you've also never watched a Roman Polanski movie or, I dunno, listened to a Phil Spector record (murder's pretty inexcusable too). Edit: sorry, I get really opinionated about this poo poo, so I promise this is the last thing I'll say on the subject: Basically to sum it up, if I were to rule out art by artists that I view as racist/homophobic/sexist/otherwise immoral, I'd have to rule out Elvis Costello, Roman Polanski, Phil Spector, Bad Brains, Wu Tang, Woody Allen, Ernest Hemingway and many more. I could either (a) dogmatically deny myself great art, or (b) acknowledge that great artists are often very flawed people and judge the work on its own merits. I choose (b), but I understand how some people choose (a). Uncle Boogeyman fucked around with this message at 15:59 on Mar 30, 2012 |

NeilPerry posted:Oh definitely, but you don't really lose anything if you don't listen to one random punk band. So I don't really think the comparison to Woody Allen and Ernest Hemingway is particularly relevant or apt. Well now you're just admitting that you only apply your morals when it's convenient for you to do so. Besides, "some random punk band" could be Bad Brains. Huuuuuge homophobes, but both a great band and an important one.

Pope Guilty posted:This is probably a stupid question, but I really got into punk rock as a teenager and then when I was 19 moved to a place without a scene and fell out of it (this being before ubiquitous broadband and I didn't have the ability to drive an hour there and back to go to shows). As such, I kind of fell out of the scene about 2003 and I've no idea what's current, and I recently realized I've not picked up any new punk rock since like 2004 or 2005. So... what's going on in punk rock right now? The new Drug Church 7" is what's going on.
