shouldn't this be in the interview category? how embarassing for you aubin posting in the incorrect section!

ZiggyStardust (July 24, 2006)

Well done.

AlmostPunkEnough (July 24, 2006)

is the new one any good?

i've only heard the 'single'.

Someone (July 25, 2006)

i first heard the album saturday night, really liked it, bought it yesterday, and it hasnt left my cd player since

Someone (July 24, 2006)

Ryan's Hope sucks!!!

ThomPunkAheaddotcom (July 24, 2006)

i didn't care after my first few listens on their purevolume, i love them now. I think PNR are the only label i have the full discography of :p

DeadMilkMan (December 28, 2007)

Obviously you haven't seen them live.

SarahSage (July 24, 2006)

Holy fucking shit.

Terry interviewed the Living End and didn't even tell me?

That son of a bitch.

Someone (July 24, 2006)

THESE GUYS FUCKING SUCK
-dude in Melbourne

Someone (July 31, 2006)

u fucking suck
-dude in sydney!

gladimnotemo (July 24, 2006)

" one of the most important bands in punk rock history."

What? These guys aren't bad, but what a faulty statement...

Coldwaffles (July 24, 2006)

...in my opinion...

Someone (July 24, 2006)

Your opinion is whack.

Longshot (July 24, 2006)

The Living End is the most underrated band around.
They have more drive, creativity and talent than most of the fashion bands that garner so much attentionn from younger kids today.
This was a great interview and I'm stoked that they're touring the U.S. again.

But Modern Artillery was fucking amazing.
State of Emergency is even better.

Someone (July 24, 2006)

Modern Artillery amazing? Not by a longshot, longshot. State of Emergency is better, sure, but that's like saying big shits are better than tiny rabbit poops. They're both still crap.

No doubt these guys can play, I wish I was half the guitar player he is, but goddamnit why do they squander the rockabilly ability and play the same old radio rock as everyone else? Let me know when they stop wasting their true talent and get back to what they're best at.

Ven89 (July 24, 2006)

They put on a good show at warped yesterday. "I figured if we were gonna tour the USA I needed to buy a cowboy hat at Wal-Mart."

The Bouncing Souls stole the show though, Greg diving into the crowd and surfing for the last half of true believers, while the guys that wrote the letters from iraq ran up to the mic and sang, it was a beautiful thing.

Someone (July 24, 2006)

"punk rock on the Warped Tour "
there is no such thing.

OzmanX (July 24, 2006)

I love this band.

Ryan Hope's new record gets better with each listen.

branden (July 24, 2006)

thee are cool ass dudes

branden (July 24, 2006)

these*

AcidPolice (July 24, 2006)

*Yawn* yeah these guys really rock the boat....man punk is filitered and boring. I think i'll go back to listening to 80's new wave, now that shit is edgy.

DarrenMcLeod (July 24, 2006)

their performance at the vancouver warped show was fantastic.

glsco (July 25, 2006)

It sure was! E Boogie knocked my socks right off.

http://youtube.com/watch?v=rPLY7hVziis sooooo good

TheRevisionist (July 24, 2006)

has anyone seen these guys live? how are they?

i'm going to see them soon and i haven't heard much of their stuff, except for that classic song on short songs for short people

Someone (July 24, 2006)

They are beyond good live. A case can be made for a lot of bands being the best live band in punk rock, but I think hands down these guys take it. Other bands live shows are made great by the crowds, these guys actually pull everything off, and more. You will be blown away. And what the hell are you waiting for? Pick up their albums, you can't go wrong with any of them, but I'd probably rank Mordern Artillery the lowest.

...evildeadalive

TheRevisionist (July 24, 2006)

thanks

TheOneTrueBill (July 25, 2006)

I saw them twice in the summer of 2001, my first two "real shows" actually. They were great both times, but haven't seen them since unfortunatly.

Someone (July 24, 2006)

This was obviously done over Email.

theTruman (July 24, 2006)

I fucking love this band. The new album is really really good, and I'm looking forward to seeing them play for the first time in several years. I'm glad that I won't be seeing them at the Warped Tour but headlining at the Stone Pony. Should be one hell of a good time.

FuckYouOiOiOi (July 24, 2006)

this band is great! i love that prisoner of society song.

Jakelives (July 24, 2006)

The Living End is an embarrassment to Aussie punk. Please interview real punk from downunder like CONSIDER THE MEEK.

AlmostPunkEnough (July 25, 2006)

the shit on their myspace isn't bad at all. good reccomendation.

Someone (July 25, 2006)

I agree. Consider The Meek kickass. Who the fuck are they?

Someone (July 25, 2006)

what exactly do you find so embarassing about The Living End?

Someone (July 25, 2006)

They arent even punk you close-minded fuck.

Someone (July 26, 2006)

There is only one member who is Australian from Consider The Meek. The rest are American I think, and they have never toured Australia. They are better than The Living End though - judging from the music on their myspace!

Someone (July 24, 2006)

Does anyone know if there is a scene in Brisbane at the moment?

Someone (July 25, 2006)

The Disables

almightydanish (July 24, 2006)

I actually liked Modern ARTillery. I thought State of Emergency was a bit on the boring side though.

Someone (July 25, 2006)

I played the hell out of Modern Artillery when it came out and then couldn't listen to it again. It's not like that with their other albums.

Someone (July 25, 2006)

ahhh...the living end.....
drools......
i'm glad state of emergency turnerd out bettr than modern artillery

Someone (July 25, 2006)

Great great band, and the new cd has reeeaaallly grown on me, and these guys seem pretty sincere and down to earth-oldpunker-

The4footpartysub (July 25, 2006)

i really like this band i can't wait to see them in a few weeks.

William_David (July 25, 2006)

Nice interview Terry. Both Living End and Ryan's Hope are great bands.

JohnnyTwoTits (September 3, 2006)

i think its cool that these guys can say thair not punk. any band that can say that has got some ballz. ill tell you what, ballz...

Someone (September 9, 2006)

Singer is from Australia. Drummer is from New Zealand. Bassist is from Canada.They live in Taiwan. They sound good from what I have heard on their myspace.
