Bring Me The Horizon: Suicide Season

By Brenden • Jan 26th, 2009 • Category: Record Reviews

If you are into metal than get into these kids cause they can get you to that point where you smash your windows out on accident. They arnt nearly as technical as most of their peers are these days but they can fucking trench their way through the beats just as well and put some heavy ass lows into what they do and how they do it.



The Sound Of Animals Fighting: The Ocean And The Sun

By Brenden • Jan 23rd, 2009 • Category: Record Reviews

My excitement for their releases gives me this rush of pretentiousness like maybe i should attend an art opening out on Alberta st. or Ne Mississippi. This Member Swapping indie and post punk super group has a distinct way in making their listeners feel entitled to some self worth.



Escape The Fate: This War Is Ours

By Brenden • Jan 22nd, 2009 • Category: Record Reviews

these dudes are competent enough musicians to pull off a second rate My Chemical Romance thing, they just don’t. It seems that they are content with sinking to the bottom of the emotional rock lake and affix themselves via chain to a giant rock to spend the rest of their days where the sunlight is thin and the fish talk shit on Fashion whores.



I Am Ghost: Those We Leave Behind

By Brenden • Jan 20th, 2009 • Category: Record Reviews

The album still tries to go for the dark thespian roll with huge melodies and vocal lines a plenty dedicated to dark subject matter such as zombies and graveyards (two things I’m a sucker for). But overall the album just seems like a lackluster attempt at creating their debut. This is a stereotypical sophomore slump album.



I Set My Friends On Fire: You Cant Spell Slaughter Without Laughter

By Brenden • Jan 16th, 2009 • Category: Record Reviews

The two bros of ISMFOF have created a great little parody of your stereotypical screamsingcore band and in doing so make something that i would rather listen to then the original product.



A Hero A Fake: Volatile

By Brenden • Jan 15th, 2009 • Category: Record Reviews

You pretty much have to be at the top of your game to get a hold of my attention, And A Hero A Fake are standing on a mountain of retired Sega genesis and super Nintendos wearing power gloves and throwing Atari 2600s at people as they walk by.



I Am Abomination: Jaw Dropper

By Brenden • Dec 5th, 2008 • Category: Record Reviews

I Am Abomination has the raw talent and early head start that most bands would die for and for a first attempt at an album Jaw Dropper lives up to its name



1997: On The Run

By Brenden • Nov 25th, 2008 • Category: Record Reviews

the 100,000 plus kids who had their hearts crushed when The Early November decided to retire can now invest their time in an equally catchy and fun act with 1997.



Emo: Is This Even A Word?

By Brenden • Nov 23rd, 2008 • Category: Lead Story, Uncategorized

It was an in-joke, a jab, and a cute little back and forth between buds. But in reality it was the birth of a fucking monster.



Pierce The Veil, Four Letter Lie, Breathe Carolina, Emarosa at the hawthorne

By Brenden • Nov 22nd, 2008 • Category: Lead Story, Show Reviews

when they had an intro that involved the tales from the crypt theme and a walk on by some dude dressed up like the crypt keeper his god damned self than i just got stoked on it.
