With a name like parkway drive and an album titled 'killing with a smile'...ummm yeah, i'll pass.

KirbyPuckett (August 14, 2006)

"Killing w/ a smile" that reminds me of that moron from Dane Cook's tourgasm who keeps telling that god-awful "killing w/ kindness joke.'

That show is over right? I hope so, because it was pretty much the worst half hour block of TV in awhile.

Someone (August 14, 2006)

I really don't think Dane Cook is that funny. All of his militant, rabid fans would disagree, but no..to me he is NOT funny.

Best comedian ever: Bill Hicks.

Someone (August 14, 2006)

And for the record, I can't remember who the comedian with the 'kill them with kindness' joke is

KirbyPuckett (August 14, 2006)

He was the really nerdy guy that always went first. I don't remember his name. I watched the show three weeks in a row hoping it may turn out to be good, but it didn't. After that I quit paying attention -- but my friends said he told the joke every time.

sickboi (chris) (August 14, 2006)

He did, and the only good response he got was from those morons at University of Virginia (Skaboom, I'm looking at you)...

vaginalinferno (August 14, 2006)

this is that crappy hardcore band that opens up it's songs with clips from disney movies like pirates of the carribean

hilarious

Someone (August 14, 2006)

Seriously?????

Someone (August 14, 2006)

Umm, no they dont.

Someone (August 16, 2006)

on what , 1 song they do it. the song is called , mutiny. listen to the line from johnny depp and maybe your tiny brain might get it numb nuts

DiscoFucker (August 14, 2006)

PWD are sweet, but Vanna......nahhhh son.

Pope_Skeletor (August 14, 2006)

Hey, remember when Mr. Brett told us that this band was better than everything we listen to?

Someone (August 14, 2006)

this band is a sure sign that at least one person at Epitaph is out of touch.

iconoclast (August 14, 2006)

namely, brett.

SalsaShark (August 14, 2006)

don't loose touch!! lol

Someone (August 14, 2006)

I think the Parkway Drive album is fucking amazing.

You'll like it if you're into Dillinger Escape Plan, Converge, Protest the Hero etc.

Someone (August 14, 2006)

uh...wtf? this band is more like Unearth or Bleeding Through than any of the aforementioned bands.

Someone (August 14, 2006)

comparing this lame band to converge or DEP is like comparing tony victory to Osama Bin Laden.

Someone (August 14, 2006)

Typical yanks and their "ohh no, their names awful so they've gotta be shit" without trying 'em. Yeah they're pretty much like Unearth in ways, its a really good album to rock out to like, immensly loud. And they've got quotes in some of their songs, but to my knowledge, Die Hard aint Disney like.

Put it this way. About 99.9% of the people on here that slate everything are obviously gonna hate it, so bother telling peple that like 'em how much you hate their name.

Someone (August 14, 2006)

their name IS terrible, but it's pretty certain people don't like this band because they are jsut plain bad.

There's just one problem Happy - you're not any good!

Someone (August 16, 2006)

their name is the street on which some of em grew up on in bryron bay. these guys are just damn proud of where they came from, and to get signed to epitaph from a town with less than 20000 people living their and a tiny "scene" shows the boys got skills.

Someone (August 14, 2006)

Listen, Australian metalcore bands are far superior to their North American counterparts. Bands like Parkway Drive and I Killed the Prom Queen are far better than bands like DEP, Converge, and the like.

You heard me ... DEP can go SUCK MY FUCKING BALLS. SUCK'EM.

Someone (August 14, 2006)

I am Australian and I refuse to endorse this statement. DEP are the superior band.

Someone (August 14, 2006)

thanks mate, way to stick up for the home team.

....too many rabbits in China.

Someone (August 14, 2006)

wats the point of fooling yourself thinking parkway drive are better than DEP just because there from your own country.

Someone (August 14, 2006)

prom queen should go back to wearing the makeup.

Jimbojones (August 15, 2006)

I'm also from Australia, and also do not endorse this comment. DEP really does tear Parkway Drive to pieces... and then some

Someone (August 16, 2006)

to tell ya the truth, bands like DEP shit me... its not music.... its all wall of noise and crap trying to get passed off as music. atleast with parkway, it actually seems like genuine music, not just crap

Someone (August 14, 2006)

I love this band. They are fearsome. If you like heavy music, give 'em a chance.
-Brett

Someone (August 14, 2006)

I love this band. Killing with a smile is fearsome. Anyone who likes heavy music should give 'em a chance.
-Brett

LeightonESmith (August 14, 2006)

Just for the record, they have a song called Mutiny and at the start of it is a disney quote from pirates #1.
"the deepest circle of hell is reserved for betrayers and mutineers"
That song has one of the best riffs and breakdowns of all time.

Definately get into this if you like Unearth and Killswitch (it was produced by Adam D). Metalcore doesn't get much better than this. Don't let titles and names of bands fool you. This shit is ball tearing.

Someone (August 15, 2006)

it sure is

Someone (August 20, 2006)

Im with you man, this shit is way harder than any pussy ass "punk" band. Guns for show, knives for a pro is a wicked song too

Someone (August 20, 2006)

I suppose you punk fags would rather listen to some dirt ball band with salvation army clothes that smell like they havent taken a shower in a month. Thats your perogative tho.......me, ill be listening to some hardcore. And staying away from the "scene" thing cuz that shits for boy-girls.
