Anyone seen this movie? Never came across any info on it other than this well shot badass as fuck video

T!t$, L@bi@$, and Knock3r$

Cleaning up the Itunes I came across this little ditty. A barely released demo by Tate-Labianca, yet another band with Jawsh Hagemen in it. This one is notable because it's pretty much the last time he played guitar in a hardcore band and the shit straight knocks. Local skate-dude Spencer B. did vocals, and he was among the most thrilling to watch live. Morgan's got it down pat, but Spencer is the original writhing floor creature. Musically simillar to This Computer Kills, Disconnect, stuff that was coming out on Ebullition 8 years ago. A little harder edged than Disconnect, and not all robotic like This Computer Kills....if only they would have been more of a presence! I remember asking for a demo back in the day and he kind of danced around the question saying there wasn't really one. Well by golly what am I listening to now?! All I know is if they shelved it for quality reasons they were some straight fools...Unfortunately I have no access to a picure of these dudes live, so instead be bummed out by the desecrated corpse of Sharon Tate.

Back 2 Skool

So on the first day of school I got tripped by a blind girl. Funniest thing ever, she was walking around waving that stick, and I wasn't sure if she was for real or not, then I tried to step out of her way but I was still in range for a wavey stick, it was some shit out of a sitcom.

Everyday before seventh grade I'd watch the video for Back To School on MTV2....them's was good days.

Just cuz I haven't put up any albums in a while....I figure I'll really get into the swing now that I have structure. Bafabegiya was a HARDCORE INSTITUTION in the middle aughts great seven inches, better shows, bona fide anthems. Although I would have preferred them not to get soooo jangly over-time, but what are you gonna do? This is the discography, not necessarily in chronological order. Standout tracks include; Punk Rock Saved My Life, Better Dead Than Domestic, Perfect Love Drives Out All Fear, and the classic High Fives, Stage Dives.

For Those Who Die Dancing!

Everything Stays Black

This is a most excellent tribute album to a most excellent band. It's got the best bands unfortunate enough to be called metalcore covering one of the best hardcore bands of all time. The great thing is all of these bands are such accomplished musicians they can appropriately transform the song. The best at this is Converge of course, Annihilate This Week sounds like a Converge song, period. Plus American Nightmare, Coalesce, Planes Mistaken For Stars, and Burnt By The Sun among others.
Ha, I once got in a crazy heated E-Bay war trying to win this on four limited edition seven inches, I didn't win. But I did get the twelve inch......oh the days of vinyl hunting....

Don't Wanna Hear It

Birth Is A Sexually Transmitted Disease

Oh hell I might as well-Before Royal Noble, Justin(main Royal Noble dude) played drums in Arabella which in my opinion was the most promising hardcore band out of Reno from '03-'05. Killer live show, brutal-as-fuck female vocals, creepy male falsetto vocals, angular guitars, muscular bass. Really can you ask for more from a hardcore band? What made them better was at the time everyone was either doing Trustkill style bro-mosh, or wimpy Ebullition rip-off shit. That's a terrible generalization, but I am trying to make the case for my dudes! Anyways super short lived, a seven inch and a split, yadda yadda yadda. The good ones always go first....oh and there is a Born Against cover to boot!

You've Been Warned

Where oh where has this band been all my life? If only there was any meaning to the word Hardcore nowadays. Because when I say this band is Hardcore I mean it as the highest compliment and term of endearment that I can muster. When I say Hardcore I mean to distinguish this band from 95% of all music that claims to be punk or metal or hardcore or any combination of the three. In a parallel universe where punk and hardcore never got watered down or transmogrified into a million meaningless genres this band would be nothing special. However, we live in a world where Fallout Boy gets cred cuz the drummer was in Vegan Reich, and New Found Glory is practically as seminal Youth of Today because their guitarist sang in Shai Hulud for a year. So you better believe that sounding like a carbon copy of the year 1984 is near and about's the most original thing you can do.
Government Warning has main themes of paranoia, depression, anxiety, and confusion. Yet listening to them brings me feelings of clarity, and relief, kind of like scratching an itch you didn't know you had, and didn't know you could scratch.
