“Hardcore gets boring when the “kids” stop being interested in ideas and music...”
– Orchid (via nodivision)
While this is true, give me a dozen gone-in-year-merch-loving turds over one boring ‘Skramz’ kid with roots firmly planted in indie rock who is way too cool for hardcore and doesn’t understand that the music he “loves” is a form of it. Not a...

We’ll get what’s left of our older shirts (mosty XL and Small) in there soon too, as well as a new shirt design soon enough.

Irony of Lightfoot - Discography (mid 90's LIHC,... →
I honestly don’t know much about this band. I mentioned them months ago when I posted the 108 final show flyer. I know there are a ton of Long Island heads following me on here, so if one of you can fill in the details I’d love to know more about them.
I’m honestly not even sure if this is a complete discography, but it’s all that I can confirm exists. I wouldn’t be...
suburbansuperscores replied to your post: Does doing advertising work for an Auqabats TV show count as Punk and Profesional world colliding??
they opened for Rancid when I was 13 and fought a giant lobster on stage. It was the greatest thing I had ever seen.
That is kind of awesome. There was a band from Edmonton called the Wolfnote who would bring an inflatable lobster to bigger shows so...

High Jinks - Complete Discography (Pre-Tempest,... →
This is for all the Albertans following me.
High Jinks is a band that has a special place in my heart, so it’s hard to right about them in an unbiased manner. They played their first show in my parents’ basement in 2005. Funny story about that, I wasn’t living there at the time but they were out of town and a couple Vancouver bands needed a show. To this day my folks have no...

I don’t 100% recall how I got into this band. I’m pretty sure I found their 2x7” in a sale bin, thought it looked cool and checked the thanks list and decided it was worth gambling a buck or two on. Regardless of how I got into them, this band is great! they don’t really seem to be remembered outside of some regional heads and a few randoms elsewhere. Outside of a few...
As predicted...
… less people cared about the Out of Sight 7” cover when there was information to hear songs from, as well as acquire, said record along with the image.
I don’t understand you kids.

Our new LP "Indignation" is out now

damagesband:
You can pick it up over here: http://www.clue2records.com/merch/damages-indignation/
BUY THIS!
Take a look at the Clue#2 store. I highly recommend the three Damages 7”s and LP, as well as the Mouse Ear 7”, and the All Through a Life 7”. The Render Useless discog is great if you like CDs. If you want to hear bands taking a unique approach to...

Whenever I make a list of what’s on it’s way, it always seems like way more than I expect. Also, it reminds me of the overwhelming volume of music out there.

Various Artists - Power of Ten:A Northwest... →
The Power of Ten compilations were a really unique idea that really should have gotten more recognition outside of the NW then they did. They were a pair of 7” comps from the early 2000’s and at the time of release, all tracks were exclusive. I believe that only the Screwjack and Champion tracks ended up getting released elsewhere. All tracks are Northwest Hardcore bands and all tracks...
GOOD RIDDANCE REUNITED! →
noassnohead:
I’m pumped.
Reunions are always kinda tacky, however, the only time I saw Good Riddance was when they were getting full bottles of beer and pint glasses thrown at them and their bassist tried to get into the crowd to fight someone. So, it might be nice to see them play to a crowd who’s into it.
Hunter and I have devised a challenge for Rainfest

newwestcrew:
My goal is to make ZERO new friends over three days.
It’s true! if he is successful I owe him a tasty beverage. I’m still on the fence as to wether or not I will partake in the challenge.
Hunter, how do you feel about stepping it up a notch and have a competition to see who can make the most enemies, while at the same time not making new friends, BUT not...

The Ataris - Rarities 95-05 →
So, I’ve slacked big time when it comes to posting downloads so I’m gonna try and pick it up a little. That said, I’m gonna get going again with something that only two people will care about or even like.
In the interest of full disclosure I loved The Ataris when I was a kid. If I was hearing this stuff for the first time now, I don’t imagine that I’d like it, but...
Hunter and I have devised a challenge for Rainfest
My goal is to make ZERO new friends over three days.
So, I'm going to Rainfest this year
Honestly, I’m not much of a “fest guy”, but I need to see Between Earth and Sky, Strain and handful of others. Also, hardcore always translates better live so maybe a few bands I don’t care for will finally click for me.
Should be fun.
How was I unaware of Holy Fever?
Looking at who is in this band AND the fact that it came out on Lifeline makes me baffled that I just found out that they existed today. Seriously, how did I miss this??
I’m also shocked that the “Tumblr Hardcore” crowd isn’t losing their minds over this band based on their ex-members pedigree.
Edit: to clarify, it’s dudes and a lady from Suicide File/Hope...

Fact:
statementoflife:
I once ate a sandwhich in the back of a truck in the rain going 70mph at night.
I think it’s important to point out that after this happened we had to fly to San Diego. I had to explain to a security guard at the airport that “yes, this guy I’m with did eat a sandwich in the back of a truck and that’s why he has mustard all over his hood”. I was...

Today I refered to an ad campaign we’re running as “looking fuckin’ sick” in a conversation with my boss and I’ve had to re-start about 6 e-mails because my instant reaction is to begin them with the word “tight”.
I’m not cut out for the double life.

Because I can’t fathom how that happens. Every time I see someone say “I need to things to download” (usually it’s phrased as “give me”), I just get confused. I rarely have an empty “new arrivals/purchases” stack next to my record player and I don’t think I’ve ever been caught up on listening to the stuff I download. I’m actually...

This is an undeniable truth. It was proved by our viscous murder of a crossword puzzle earlier tonight.
