Parkway Drive launches "mosh" contest

Posted by aubin on Wednesday, November 7, 2007 at 12:00 AM (EST)

While we typically don't report on contests hosted elsewhere, this one had to be mentioned. Apparently Australia's Parkway Drive are hosting a new contest, co-sponsored by their US label Epitaph.

The contest encourages fans to video record their "best mosh move" to a song from Horizons and post the video for everyone to see. Besides ensuring that you'll never be able to run for public office, you could potentially win a Parkway Drive skate deck. You can find all the rules here.

feeeding5000 (November 7, 2007)

Do I win the contest if I just send in a 20-minute video of me cutting chucks of my flesh off and feeding them to cats? Because that'd be pretty fucking hardcore.

skaboom (November 7, 2007)

As annoying as it is when people say "PUNKnews.org?", this is about as far from "punk" as you can get.

Not that I'm blaming the site from posting it, it will certainly get a few chuckles and is (unfortunately) what some people think punk rock is, but I can't even fathom the kind of kids that will enter this contest and think they are cool for doing so.

Archangel (November 7, 2007)

You're kidding. This is the least punk thing ever posted on this site. Really.

Killers reviews, Bruce Springsteen reviews, Fall Out Boy news, Hawthorne Heights lawsuits, shitty Blender lists of trivial shit... you're kidding.

onegirlarmy (November 7, 2007)

drummer of the Killers used to be in a skapunk band with a guy who was in Faded Grey.

24HourPriapism (November 7, 2007)

remember that collective eye roll we all did when hot topic offered "FREE HARDCORE DANCING LESSONS" a couple years ago? ugh. i hate the youth just a little more now.

I don't think i've seen you signed in once mister. tricky, tricky.

24HourPriapism (November 7, 2007)

actually i'm constantly signed in. and i have an account. just that certain computers i post from wind up signing me in as a someone. honestly, i'd rather be able to post under the name i fucking registered under, but it's just funny in the post-lockdown 'org that there's still a member posting as "someone."

Thus_Spoke_Sean (November 7, 2007)

christ, you must be tired of explaining that by now.

chickswithdicks (November 7, 2007)

hahahah i can't wait for these videos to be on youtube!! oh mannnn

Listen to the song "The Start of Something" by Voxtrot and tell me you don't want to jump around all over the place.

Can't run for office?

Obviously, someone doesn't understand the Australian political system.

Where do you think "booting" came from?

Explosions In The Sky is far from shit, my friend

24HourPriapism (November 7, 2007)

hell, you'd be surprised at how many people still listen to korn.

douglas_is_rad (November 7, 2007)

Soooooo many people are still into brocore. You can't even imagine. It's expanding so far past the "kids with really tight girl pants" crew, it's not even funny.

And Explosions In The Sky and Feist are so far from shit it's not even funny.

douglas_is_rad (November 7, 2007)

I just said it's not even funny twice...

Parking Lot Moshing with be a funny band name. Fuck this band for not using it. I'll give it to you for free though. I hope by next year to see 20 bands using that name now that it's been thrown out there.

we need a follow up article for this with links to some of the videos so i don't forget about this

spec (November 7, 2007)

Remember when "moshing" used to be a spontaneous act. Now it's all about "look at my sweet moves during the breakdown". Anybody who participates in this should be beaten with a bat.

i think that's a pretty reasonable reaction

" Besides ensuring that you'll never be able to run for public office,"

One of the only times I've laughed at a joke posted in the article instead of rolling my eyes... bravo.

And these videos are going to be so fucking funny.
