1208 members form The Viewing Era

Contributed by an Anonymous Source. Posted by aubin on Thursday, September 14, 2006 at 11:15 AM (EDT)

Two members of 1208 have announced the formation of the Viewing Era. The band, which includes Neshawn Hubbard and Steve Mccall, posted the following description:

A compilation of thoughts-out-loud complemented by musical instruments, regarded as nothing more than a means to affect. Please do not misconstrue-this is without an inference to anything beyond a co-personal reaction. If an effect does find its way to humble the maze, so be it, we would cherish the privilege and welcomingly oblige.

You can read more of the lengthy statement on their myspace page.

The band takes influence from the Misfits, the Who, Jane's Addiction and many others. You can check out two songs on their myspace player.

1208 released their last album, Turn Of The Screw in 2004.

MattRamone (September 14, 2006)

Just based on a the description, this sounds completely retarded. "We're deep, but don't worry, brahs! We still bring the mosh!"

Someone (September 14, 2006)

I hate you.

MattRamone (September 14, 2006)

What a surprise! I'm sure you and dudes in 98 Mute are gonna have a totally sick mosh to feel better about it.

Someone (September 14, 2006)

Shouldn't you be out kissing somebody's ass so you can sell a house...

MattRamone (September 14, 2006)

Sorry, bro! I forgot having a job makes me a selloutz!

Someone (September 14, 2006)

Having a job doesn't make you a sellout. It's the "kissing ass" and "blowing smoke" all day that makes you a sellout. I'm sure you'll figure it out someday...you seem like a fairly bright guy. I mean, calling yourself a "selloutz" proves your right up there with Einstein.

MattRamone (September 14, 2006)

..I take it you've never read Nothing Nice.

And hey, if there's anything wrong with fleecing yuppies, I don't want to be right.

Someone (September 14, 2006)

Wow, he's a literary genius as well. You don't have to make excuses or prove yourself to me. I can spot your kind from a mile away. And if you want to dedicate your life to criticizing punk fans and fluffing yuppies, then so be it. As well, it's a good thing you don't want to be right, because you're one that will most likely always be wrong. Now, I'm not sure whether to call you a "selloutz" or a "fluffer". Why are you sitting around and posting comments all day, a sales shark like yourself is probably losing out on a good number of those yuppie deals.

MattRamone (September 14, 2006)

Fleecing. A fluffer is your future job.

Someone (September 14, 2006)

I apologize. I didn't realize that you were that slow. If you would have admitted to fluffing yuppies I would have respected it more than the pride you take in "fleecing" yuppies. Keep fluffing so you can fleece those yuppies. Now go get that deal, fluffer...the clock is ticking!!!!

Mute98 (September 14, 2006)

i like this someone guy, mattramone is one of the biggest retards.. hes down there with FUoioioi

Someone (September 14, 2006)

Matt Ramone is just pissed because he can't effectively "bring the mosh, brah". Add the fact that he's a total fucking tard. If acting like MattRamone is the right thing to do, I don't want to be right, brah.

Mute98 (September 14, 2006)

i agree 100% man

MattRamone (September 14, 2006)

Awwww, so cute! I'm sure you guys can high five and then go watch a motocross video.

Someone (September 14, 2006)

Sweet brah! Maybe we can watch some snowboarding vids afterward!! Then, if we're lucky you'll teach us how to sell houses to yuppies! Fuck off douche.

Shitlips (September 14, 2006)

Weird description but i'm sure it will be good. 1208 is da bizzomb.

elguapo (September 14, 2006)

i love the Henry James book "the Turn of the Screw" and i love the Fugazi song "Returning the Screw." Screwing doesn't suck either.

Someone (September 14, 2006)

i still remember seeing 1208 when they were still non-ox 9.

Someone (September 15, 2006)

Me, too.

Ha ha, South Bay back-in-the-day!

Someone (September 14, 2006)

and what the FUCK happened to western waste?

MattRamone (September 14, 2006)

Okay, I finally listened to it. It's worse than I imagined. Since when did the beach jocks stop listening to Pennywise and start listening to Fall Out Boy? Did they use My Chemical Romance as the changeover music at BroFest 2k5 or something?

Mute98 (September 14, 2006)

where the fuck do you get your shit from? the viewing era is ok but your hate only comes from them being "beach jocks" which you just assume for no reason.. a form of prejudice IMO

MattRamone (September 14, 2006)

Prejudice is a real time saver, hoss!

Mute98 (September 14, 2006)

get off this site.. this is just disgusting

MattRamone (September 14, 2006)

I see the ability to recognize sarcasm isn't being taught in schools, either.

Someone (September 14, 2006)

You're too sarcastic for your own good, brah. Now why don't you get back to shaving your sheep or whatever.

Osloboditelj (September 14, 2006)

By the title alone, that's a lot of band members.

RinjoNjori (September 14, 2006)

I wouldn't say this is anything remakrable only completely different than 1208

Mute98 (September 14, 2006)

this isnt anything amazing but it sounds decent, though i prefer a more "punk" sound..

and to the dude who asked about western waste, they sadly broke up.. and to lovers of south bay punk, check out false alliance!

Kursk (September 14, 2006)

I figured 1208 had broken up I hadn't heard anything from them in years. Oh well, Turn of the screw wasn't anywhere near as good as Feedback Is Payback

Ignitedude (September 14, 2006)

Damn, This is completely different from what I anticipated this would sound like.

Shame they didnt continue down the skatepunk route, just what the hell is this?

ChokingVictim (September 14, 2006)

Is it just me, or did all of a sudden, punknews got a shitload of new registered users?

AlmostPunkEnough (September 14, 2006)

yea, i noticed that too.

punkbytheounce (September 14, 2006)

It sounds like someone's trying to cash in on Angels and Airwaves.

Mute98 (September 14, 2006)

i think they were around before that

punkbytheounce (September 14, 2006)

This band was?

Mute98 (September 14, 2006)

yeah, this is actually old news, theyre new but i think theyve been around before AVA..

im not saying the viewing era rules or anything, theyre just ok

Mute98 (September 14, 2006)

also, members of 98 Mute and Pennywise formed chaos delivery machine

AlmostPunkEnough (September 14, 2006)

well, sounds kinda off to me, but if it's the 1208 guys, it's gonna be fantastic.

MikeStupid (September 14, 2006)

Fuck this, we need a new 1208 album instead.

Someone (September 14, 2006)

According to wikipedia (which is full of shit much of the time), there is a new 1208 record in the works......

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1208_%28band%29

Wh o knows, brah.

-JoshCBFL

Mute98 (September 14, 2006)

fuck you

Someone (September 14, 2006)

Why are you telling me 'Fuck you'?

I was showing people what I had seen about the possibility of a new 1208 record. If you don't like it, you can cram it up your fucking ass.

MikeStupid (September 14, 2006)

Wow, that is a terrible Wikipedia article.
