The following is the first paragraph of this band's press sheet (with corrections made by me in parenthesis). Please login or register to post comments. What are the benefits of having a Punknews.org account?
When someone reviews an album they are not reviewing the band as people, the myspace songs or their live show. Maybe they pour Everything into their music, but i guess they aren't made of much... You are about as sucky as a reviewist as you claim this band is. First of all, THEY are the ones in a band, not you, which must say something about their abilities reaching far and above your own. Second, obviously people think they are good enough to go on Warped Tour. Third, unless you have heard their new album, "To Breathe is to Compromise", or heard them live, then don't write such a bad review about something you so obviously know nothing about. Go to their purevolume or myspace account pages and listen to their new stuff. Who cares if YOU don't like it. But that doesn't make them a bad band. I've seen them live and what a show it is. They put EVERYTHING into their music. So do some research before you go criticising them bro. oh, and since when does a bands name decide for them whether they suck or not? that's just ignorance. don't say you don't like a band if you've never listened to them. if you HAD, in fact, listened to the awkward romance, you would discover that they are amazing. "Although it has been said (by who?)" Why is everyone making fun of them? They are a lot better than hundreds of bands. Everyone else I talk to loves them. So, you all can just go put your head where the sun doesn't shine. The funny part is that the poser who reviewed this CD agreed that they have mass appeal... sounds like your jealous they'll be making the $$ in a few years. Dude fuck you. It sucks regardless of who they worship. Like Cat Power. "you would understand that their name is about the AWKWARD ROMANCE between humans and God" Name drop the lead singer - check THE AWKWARD ROMANCE is the BEST band in the WORLD! They have great music and great lyrics. If you knew anything about them, you would understand that their name is about the AWKWARD ROMANCE between humans and God. If you don't understand that, ask Andrew, the lead singer. the best post-punk band that i know of is mission to burma. *drooL* "Jawbreaker isn't pop punk you fucking tool. It's more post-punk than anything." In my mind post-punk is for bands like The Cure, Depeche mode and Joy division... I guess I was wrong, I'm sure you're an expert in labelling music. Jawbreaker isn't pop punk you fucking tool. It's more post-punk than anything. The score is for the press release. We learn three important things: That was a funny review. Although you probably could have written that review without actually listening to it. Dear lord that was the worst press release i've ever read. Maybe it was too easy and I'm being Captain Obvious when I say that when I saw their band name, somehow I knew that the word emo would be in the review somewhere. I feel bad for bands who play this style of music. |
