Streams: The Hostage Life: "White Jesus"

Posted by aubin on Friday, April 4, 2008 at 4:00 PM (EDT)

Today we've got a full stream of the new EP from Toronto's Hostage Life. The four song disc was released by Black Pint Records and includes three originals and a cover of the Wire classic, "Mr.Suit." The track was also re-popularized in in 1993 by the New Bomb Turks.

You can check out the entire four-song 7-inch on their punknews.org profile.

As someone with a retreating hairline I know never to take photos at that angle

what's a funnier mental image:

the guy and his band, standing there for the photo, and the photographer says "alright, you, scream like an asshole" so he screams in the middle of a silent photo shoot for no reason and they take the pic

OR

the guy and his band, standing there for the photo, and the photographer says "alright, you, open your mouth so it looks like you're screaming like an asshole" so he opens his mouth really wide for no reason and they take the pic

He's screaming because the dude next to him punched him in the arm right before they snapped the picture.

Sorta looks like the other dude to his left stuck something up his ass. Look at the expression on that guy's face. Either way this one of the all-time worst band photos to not feature eyeliner and swoosh haircuts I've ever seen.

The screaming dude reminds me of the video for Aphex Twin's "Come to Daddy"

So...did anyone actually listen to the record or are we making appearance based judgments only?

The music wasn't terrible, but really wasn't anything special. That picture, on the other hand. Just look at that fucking picture.

Dante3000 (rich) (April 4, 2008)

No any real criticisms on the music, just the funny picture.

I really liked Walking Papers, but am losing my taste for this band.

Jesus is not happy about having a color designated to him he prefers to be looked upon as color blind and he also said that there is a nice warm spot waiting for the hostage life.

Oh man....
C'mon, you can't be taken seriously for your criticisms if you are so misinformed...
