they're not bad. im not really sensing the alk3 influence honestly.

ockotacoman (February 21, 2008)

My band was supposed to play a show with them and the night of the show they never showed up to the venue. It was kinda odd.

the review for this got 1 and half stars. sounds pretty cool to me though. kinda poppy, but that's not always a bad thing.

I saw these guys when they opened for Teenage Bottlerocket/The Copyrights. They seemed to have a really egotistical air to them, but I guess I can't blame them..they are only 17 years old. :(

Hey_Asshole (February 21, 2008)

i saw 'em at riot fest...

they really are not good. mediocre at best, and with the whole racist thing.
yeah

telegraphrocks (February 21, 2008)

I was watching their video last week and it was that one with the cliche punk-chick working at some store (you know, the same punk-chick that every shitty teenie-pop-bopper video has), and the premise was apparently something like "fuck the radio"... yet they were at Q101 and taking pictures like they loved the place.
I don't know.

Anyway, racist bands shouldn't be supported.

Hey_Asshole (February 21, 2008)

and if they are racist AND shitty...even worse

Balipunk (February 21, 2008)

how are they racist?

telegraphrocks (February 21, 2008)

In reference to a street-dude at a Chicago show last month:
"that fucking [n-bomb]".... twice.
I'd say that qualifies.

Also another time at a show they presumably said it ONSTAGE. My friend was at that show.

ASVLN12 (February 21, 2008)

the frantic are not like a whit power band at all. not racist. there cool guys.

ZombieCrush (February 21, 2008)

Do you live in Bali?

God, I love Tubes on Jalan Legian. Is that still there?

Balipunk (February 21, 2008)

I dig it. I bet they're fun live.

telegraphrocks (February 21, 2008)

They're fucking AWESOME live!!! ....... if you're a twelve-year-old girl that loves generic wannabe pop music performed by pretentious, racist fuckwads.

I don't mean to just come on here and shit over bands or anyone else, but this band deserves it.

Dudley_Shale (February 21, 2008)

Racist? Okay...a comment like that warrants some type of explanation.

telegraphrocks (February 21, 2008)

There's only 15 posts in this thread.... look around.

JerryCola (February 21, 2008)

no, they're not fun live.

Balipunk (February 21, 2008)

hmm well i'll take everyones word and avoid this band then.

Dudley_Shale (February 21, 2008)

I barely got through the first track...

Why...why are they yelling at me? Did I do something wrong?

Also, the guy on the far right looks like Davey Havoc struggling with a nasty case of the constipated Vegan shits...

Dante3000 (rich) (February 21, 2008)

Dude, when did the young clones of Lou Reed, Dave Havok and the brothers from Oasis start a band?!
This must rule!

Scarysmurf (February 21, 2008)

..at least they are not as bad as orange.

Dudley_Shale (February 22, 2008)

Excellent point.

DarrenMcLeod (February 21, 2008)

the title track is pretty damn catchy. the rest of it didn't seem great, though.

Hey_ska (February 21, 2008)

When the only three words on the first track are come on!, let's go! and yeah! you know this is going to be a great album.

And by great i mean piece of shit.

HouseRecipe (February 22, 2008)

Uhhhh, that's 5 words actually. . . just sayin'

skottybloodbank (February 21, 2008)

It's not bad stuff catchy as fuck and nice kids but hotel's on tour, $1000 AP ad's and overly aggressive management are not the way to make a career out of a punk band.

shaunheintz (February 22, 2008)

to set the record straight, whether you like them or not they're really cool guys. They have worked their asses off for what they've gotten.

It was a good 4-5 years ago when we were all freshmans i remember them just starting up.

Dont blame them for what their label is doing.

I was on tour with them last june and it was probably the funnest shit of my life.

William_Jess (February 22, 2008)

It musta been fun. 13-year-old girl groupies rule!

Finney916 (February 22, 2008)

Fuck these guys.

William_Jess (February 22, 2008)

OMG! Frantik boyz rule! Punk rawk!

thedestroyer (February 22, 2008)

better than ryan's hope, better than anything chicago lately, give em a rest

telegraphrocks (February 22, 2008)

HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!

Joke of the fucking year.
