I was looking at that pic and thinking that was an interesting pattern and then realized it was stain pattern.

Saetia is great, I tend to like Hot Cross more than them though aside from their last album they put out. If you like Capsule you should give Kid Crash a listen I like them better than Capsule. Dial is also great. their tone is really weird it's like a strange off timed stuff.

never really thought of Cave In as sludgy in anyway, but either way I'm mainly just a fan of Beyond Hypothermia and Until Your Heart Stops.

What's funny when I started listening to heavier stuff it was directly into Suffocation from Smashing Pumpkins, Stone Temple Pilots, Bush. I just was ordering cds from Columbia House and saw the cover for Effigy of the Forgotten and thought that the cover art looked killer and I figured if I hated the band I'd just but the artwork on the wall or something. Havent' looked back since.

Discovered more hardcore and metalcore first from some reviews in metal mags and then just derping around online. started listening to more skramz when I was asked to play bass in a skramz band so that introduced me to more of that and indie rock and playing with a bunch more of those bands.

I did that with Pearl Jam's Ten many years ago. I was listening to 'radio' music—Gorillaz, Manic Street Preachers, Stereophonics, Travis, Oasis, Britney Spears—all good music, but although I've always kept my eye on my history and where I came from musically, I don't regret the direction I took. I feel very proud of my taste in music.

It's weird to me to think of the Manic Street Preachers as radio music.

Holy Bible is fucking awesome, though.

Ceremony and Have Heart posters are both rad and I would love to play through that rig. Is anyone here in a hardcore band? Or are you all mostly on the metal side?

Not in a hardcore band currently, but most of the bands I've ever played in were hardcore and punk oriented. A lot of emotive hardcore, last serious project I played in was super Orchid influenced. (not the one playing scion rock fest)
Was always a shitty punk rock kid before I discovered marijuana, sabbath, and sleep.

Fuck yes love Orchid the skramz band. not the other one.

Yes! They are the only Orchid that matters.

Oh man, they played If You Tolerate This all the time back in '98. It is weird because their music is dark, but I guess that's what people were listening to at the time. British rock was huge.

That album was massive down here as well.
I have a feeling that the bleakness of OK Computer had contributed way too much to the musical landscape at the time.
And yeah Brit pop/rock was HUGE.

Literally the exact words out of my mouth when someone asked me about both of them or what I think about the stoner one. The only Orchid that matters is the skramz one.



AngryGoldfish, Feel the same way I'm not ashamed on anything I've listened to and still pull out and listen. Also the band Failure was heavily in rotation at that time then. So even with listening to death metal I was still listening to all the other same shit. So unlike a bunch of my peers, that whole nu-metal phase they went through completely passed me by cause i was like... this is not metal and it's not even good rock music.

Anyone into the Blood Brothers? They were my first foray into truly abrasive music, after listening to metalcore for a long time. Then I happened to catch a Daughters show. Got into the Locust. And that was that.

[skullservant]

I used to listen to Blood Brothers about 10ish years ago? My wife actually got me onto them

Yea used to hate them and then I got a free dvd of them performing live with some order I placed. Enjoyed them far more and then bought more of their stuff. Live is where it was at with them.

I enjoy Daughters I always thought their old band As the Sun Sets was tons better. The Locust i've always enjoyed, played with them back in 2002. Was a great show and I really wish I bought one of their coke mirror belt buckles.

[skullservant]

THIS IS TOTALLY BRINGING BACK MEMORIES. Ah man, I used to listen to all of those bands, all the time.

[neonblack]

Man! PLAYED with the Locust? You lucky fuck. JP's new band, Retox, is pretty rad. Nothing like the Locust though.

I saw the Blood Brothers live so many times. Every time was so intense. And people from so many musical walks of life got into them. I talked to a girl once whose other favorite band besides the BB's was Mindless Self Indulgence, haha

Yea I was very thrilled, we managed to get on the show cause we had a working PA when the promoter needed one. So we asked to play in exchange, also for some top billing on the show itself. I think we played 2 spots before the Locust.

JP does so many damn bands it's insane, the ones I like that sorta sound Locust-y is Head Wound City and Ground Unicorn Horn

THIS IS TOTALLY BRINGING BACK MEMORIES. Ah man, I used to listen to all of those bands, all the time.

TIME TO BREAK THEM ALL OUT AGAIN!!

[neonblack]

I'm a little sad that he doesn't do bass in Retox but its still damn good.

Dance Tonight, Revolution Tomorrow is forever one of my favorite records.
I opened for All Leather once, only coolguy Justin Pearson experience I've got. Bummed it wasn't one of his heavy bands, but they were still great.
