In 2003, a little Canadian band known as Comeback Kid burst onto the hardcore scene with the explosive Turn It Around. A few release dates apart, former members of Kid Dynamite, Lifetime, and a few others put out CVA under the moniker Paint It Black. The two groups paid homage to the early roots of hardcore, but were refreshing and innovative enough to spur relevance in the new era. Both bands have again released stunning albums within the same calendar year; however, there’s a new kid on the streets giving the former two a run for their crowns.

This band is terrible. Easily one of the worst bands I've heard in a long time. HJ is easily one of the best new Hardcore bands out there, and they're only gonna get better, check this shit out First off, Hank Jones totally rules. Second, where's this supposed "gimmick" at? They have one goofy song, so what? If you want a gimmick look at The Aquabats or The Locust (whom I both enjoy thoroughly), not HJ. bottom line: this band sucks. and gimmicks are dumb haha, i think that gainseville show was the beginning of us being very very sick, hahaha! If you think this stuffs bad, wait till you hear the new songs. they suck even more!!! Ok, so i was really curious about this. So i bought the cd, and god damnit, are you serious about this? sounds like all the terrible minor threat clones from '88, only, like, worse. Back then they didn't want me, now I'm hot they all on me. This review makes it sound like there's only 3 bands in the entire world playing "old school" hardcore. What a shame. This review makes it sound like there's only 3 bands in the entire world playing "old school" hardcore. What a shame. Pizza Party!! HANK JONES! this band is one of the things i like about going to school in erie. I like the cover art Score is for going to a party in Edinboro with some of the dudes in HJ and hearing the Pizza Party song for hours straight. i cannot listen to the aquabats' pizza day over and over, however i had the hank jones video play like 10 times in a row while pfresh and i talked about how awesome it was. Good dudes, good tunes, good times. More like Jones the Bones. score is for MIke Torti who sets up amazing shows in Edinboro, PA the singer is a nice guy... he runs erie shows and is treyed to get them to play the punk rock formal in clarion coming up this friday... sadly, we already have 5 bands on the show, including the Code... i'll have to pick this up when i travel to edinboro and see them playing with the Code and Mustard Plug July 15th... shoud be a great night... The Aquabats' "Pizza Day" > Hank Jones' "Pizza Party" I saw these guys in gainesville with NMDS. Hank Jones was not good at all. NMDS was fucking great. Fifth Hour Hero played too (also way better than hank jones). And so did Billy Reese Peters (also way better than hank jones). i hear good things about these guys. mike torti rules. I want this record. Pretty good stuff; Jordan from Pastepunk put it best when he said this was the first in a long time he was able to genuinely mention Minor Threat as a comparison. One song they even completely rip off the chord progression from "I Don't Wanna Hear It." |
