Like most individuals my taste in music has evolved with my age. At a very young age back in 1992-1994, I became swept by the 'grunge' scene, later my spirits were captured by what I will label (disdainfully) New Punk. For a long time now I have been emotionally drawn to indie rock or what most would call ‘emo’, not to come off as totally cliché but it’s the aging. In this day and age the term ‘emo’ is loosely thrown around to pretty much define any post-hardcore indie rock band that has/will produce a CD. I would consider my self anything but a trend setter, however more than that… I hate to be trendy. I’m not one of those people who define themselves by their music or through their clothes, but one thing about trends is that they end. And fellow listeners, the sun has set on emo. It’s the new trend, its popular, and its ‘sweeping the continent’. Must I cite new pop classics like Jimmy Eat World – The Middle? Moving on, this new trend has left me feeling rather empty, so about a year ago I began to dabble in hardcore, post-hardcore… whatever you want to label it. Unbelievably more talented than ‘new metal’, way less cock than cock-rock, and lyrics that would draw a tear as quick as any Pedro The Lion song.

Incredible band. Rap ruuuuuuuuuuuuuulllleeeeessss motherfuckers suck it bitches No go suck on 50 cents dick biatch taken fucking sux dick and rap rules. This band sucks donkey dick ive never heard anything that required no talent and had people actually like it what the fuck are they talking about in there songs? a whole lot of nothing because there mom probably wrote this shit for them they have no talent and deserve to die a horrible death... GOOD CHARLOTTE RULES! They have three shows left. Two in O.C. and one, luckily for me, in Hamilton, Ontario. this band is incredibly talented, too bad they are over with. so much potential. check out the song "arrested impulse", an unreleased demo available at lambgoat. fucking unreal. Whoever did this rules. i cant believe that some fag with no time on his hands replaced refused with such a shitty band Someone take the hits off this joke... someone had fun with the reload key. uhh..."i see beauty in dead flowers"... that's an In Flames lyric from "Another Day in Quicksand" (Clayman-2000) Could we knock off the swearing? Those number symbols are pretty annoying. So just knock that ####### ##### ass #### off before I get #### these guys are simply amazing. check them out! I was kinda hoping perhaps that the sun had set on other trendy things like labelling everything emo and then saying you hate it. Don't worry folks. I got enough tweezers for all of us. We can pick the slivers out of our asses from jumping on the hating bandwagon again. Those of you that have been around since the pop-punk hating phase of last week, well, you might have your work cut out for you. But don't fret, we're all in this together. super good music, super good guys Their EP is great, but this "sun setting on emo shit" needs to take a break. Who cares if its famous? There's always good music to be found. fuck man, fuck Taken are amazing...the new drummer is outstanding, and he's only frickin 17!!! |
