Blood Brothers? Where'd you get that?

http://www.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewProfile&friendID=2085084&Mytoken=20050530203306">lettersorganize< A>...screaming sounds exactly like blood brothers...and the singer reminds me of the guys from pretty girls make graves...just my opinion. nonetheless, a good band.

oops...that was supposed to be guy* http://www.audioscrobbler.com/group/tateXcore">tateXcore< A>

Both these songs are pretty solid. I'd like to reserve judgement until I hear the record, but there is definitely potential. Oh, and if anyone is asking, this also doesn't sound like Thursday.

But Aubinnnnnnnnnn! He runs the label!!!! How can it not sound the same?????????

Someone (May 31, 2005)

oh but he doesn't run the label, just owns part of it.

The Blackout Pact are a great band and great guys... It's about time that someone in the Colorado scene is getting some respect and coverage

All of Colorado's respect and coverage belong to Slim Cessna's Auto Club and its various off-shoots.

Mike Awesome or Big Van Vader? Who wins in their primes?

rkl (May 31, 2005)

vader. no contest. even though mike awesome did have a pretty fjearsome mullet.

Someone (May 31, 2005)

Mike Awesome, because he could do a running plancha over the 3rd rope.

SteveJonesTheRealBones (May 31, 2005)

i like the letters...and i am not really familiar with what exactly nitro has had on their label in the past, except for AbunchaFuckinIdiots, but i think they have three very good bands on the roster now, and that is pretty much better than alot of labels out now...blah blah ha ha - jones the bones - stevejones8770@yahoo.com - the letters organize, bullet train to vegas, and the aquabats make for a good solid spring release schedule

SteveJonesTheRealBones (May 31, 2005)

rkl (June 1, 2005)

i think so. a depressing day for all :( i cant really blame the archie comics co, though, since they havent made a profit since 1954

Someone (May 31, 2005)

Just die already.

Someone (May 31, 2005)

Aquabats? So you like to look at dudes in tight spandex?

SteveJonesTheRealBones (May 31, 2005)

well, i did wrestle in high school - jones the bones - stevejones8770@yahoo.com

it took forever for me to refresh that one up, but yeah, it was worth it. Hi Mike.

SteveJonesTheRealBones (May 31, 2005)

haha. thats a good ad...but it doesnt come up very often i had to refresh like a mother fucker.....do people pay more to have there banner appear more? or is it just coincidence that that one didnt come up often? - jones the bones - stevejones8770@yahoo.com

CrookedSuperhero (May 31, 2005)

I don't get any banners cause of my firewall. Anyone wanna take me through it step by step?

SteveJonesTheRealBones (May 31, 2005)

[Springman Records] - jones the bones - stevejones8770@yahoo.com - step 3 and 4 might be one step...and its all in black, kinda like an adult swim bump...not sure if you get adult swim across the atlantic though....the cartoon shows?

SteveJonesTheRealBones (May 31, 2005)

SkolarX (May 31, 2005)

twice now i've been looking down the list of news and see "hello sailor" and think it says "go sailor" and i get excited, then realize what it says and get let down.

"The band will also be touring with Doghouse's Cruiserweight, Nitro's The Letters Organize, and Rise Record's My Epiphany and you can click Read More for those dates." My Epiphany are signed to Eyeball records.
