Trying to listen again.

First song really sounds like Rocket From the Crypt. Atleast they're "not proud of it."

not into their new record, but for the TB record, here are some photos I took documenting them at their peak -

When they played Market Hotel that shit was bonkers. I was having a not easy time scoring paper regularly in NYC most of the time, but I scored some for that show and went with my buddy Daniel, who is a tennis instructor and a writer, and we were both out of our heads and people were LITERALLY bouncing off the walls. I saw Kevin from What's Your Rupture tearing shit up like a pit boss.

They had some good early singles, like Circling The Drain is a classic track, but I mostly avoided their work once they started gaining popularity and "experimenting" but even the "new" songs when I saw them were really powerful at that show at least. It constantly felt like the floor was going to cave in and the crowd was such a wild dichotomy of hipsters, HC kids and post-apocalyptic crusties (there for No Fucker).

I've only really felt something like I felt that night at a few different shows before, over the years, where something was so intense and so wholly strange and unique. I'm pretty sure I was crying some on our walk home from the show.

I also came to the conclusion that there is something inherently unfair and almost fascistic/totalitarian about a hardcore band having a three guitar setup. It's so forceful that you really have no choice but to moved sonically.

9 pages on this shit and not a single person mentioned Raw Power "Screams From The Gutter"? when I first heard these guys, that was the first thing that came to mind!

One of the best shows I've ever been at was Fucked Up at some bike shop/warehouse in Toronto. Great band.

Was this the show with Inepsy? That was a great night.
