if you like reggae. yes. if you don't. no

Flogging Molly boring? I strongly disagree

skaphelion (January 6, 2009)

I agree with you on the first one. The Aggrolites are excellent if you're into the ska/reggae scene. They were the backing band for Tim Armstrong's solo record as well. This would be sooooooo kickass if you replaced FM with the Murphys.

Wow, my review of the new Arrows record doesn't make it up, but somehow four old ass releases get reviewed; Anchors must be in charge of deciding what goes up correct?

After Anchors rant about how he will always get to decide what gets posted under reviews because he is "staff" I seriously doubt whether or not I will ever bother to submit another review to Punknews.org

Chill, I submitted my review before christmas, maybe yours was just too late. I mean, they have to edit all of them and the end of the year lists too. It'll probably be up next time. I've never had a review denied and mine all suck.

Though, they might not let you review because you like 311 and no one will take you seriously.

You must have been one hell of an essay writer in school. Gotta' be honest, I'm a bit jealous.

MilesQToast (January 6, 2009)

it takes a big man to admit that

mikexdude (January 6, 2009)

Jealous of Dante?

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

Dante3000 (rich) (January 6, 2009)

Haha, not really. I just get bored some times. My dream is to be able to write an album review like Pitchfork. 10 paragraphs that really say nothing at all.

My AIM screen name s 6 years old... that'd be like 5th grade for me.

I just glossed over this post and thought 'ha wow I thought I just read Robert Goulet, crazy, let's see what it really....o...m...g.'

Holy_Balls (January 6, 2009)

i used to like 311. i also used to highlight my hair. 6th grade ruled!

skaphelion (January 6, 2009)

311 is classic, man.

Holy_Balls (January 7, 2009)

i re-visited them in 2006 for the hell of it, and i was embarrassed for those lyrics. they are corny like my shit after the holidays. boy howdy, i tell you what.

blue_drink (January 6, 2009)

You have 420 in your name.

blanktapesemptybottles (January 6, 2009)

If I wanted to listen to reggae played by guys in all matching coveralls, then I would listen to... Wait, why would I ever want to listen to that??

Holy_Balls (January 6, 2009)

because your mother farted and it stunk so bad it caused you to listen to that. true story.

skaphelion (January 6, 2009)

This is the most logical.

aggrolites are bad as fuck and all around decent humans...just can't fuck with 'em.

I'd like to point out here that in my 21 years as a person who is involved with the underground metal, punk, and hardcore scenes, I have never been a "Thug", nor has my friends Paul, Ron, Or John, the other members of Deathcycle. As far as some of us wanting to be old school, thats just what we are. And in 21 years, not much has changed. The hardcore scene, especially, is still filled with wash-women and armchair quarterbacks that need to make themselves feel more important by talking shit about people they don't even know. If the "thug" comment is directed towards Paul and John for being past and present Madball personel, I'd like to correct you. John and Paul are just simply great musicians, and if you don't like Madball, that is your problem. And I really don't give a flying rat's ass who likes Deathcycle and who doesn't. We existed to play music and to make people think,

We existed to play music and to make people think, and we have succeeded in that. We will all continue to play music in some form, and hopefully people will like it. Whoever doesn't "get it" can kiss our asses. From KYI on thru to what we are doing now, we NEVER gave a shit what anyone thinks of us, and that hasn't changed. So go ahead, continue to hide behind your screen names and talk shit, while we do something exceptional with our lives. We have done and accomplished and been involved with things that you can only sit around and daydream about, and THAT is why you have to just exist to be shit talkers.
For those of you who care, Deathcycle's last show is on Feb 28th at The Rockstar Bar in Brooklyn. Check out www.myspace/deathcycleny for more info.
For those of you who wanna talk shit, you know where to find us if you wanna discuss hardcore some more.

Wow, y all the anger, unless I have been out of the loop and to be honest, it could be me just gettin old-oldpunker-

BarleyPat (January 7, 2009)

That's not my original work. That's from the douchebag in Deathcycle cumming on here and trying to prove the point that he dosen't care what we think, which of course, he made by going off on a bro-rant.

Oldpunkerforever (January 7, 2009)

gotcha-oldpunker

grafixx (January 7, 2009)

thus begins another weird cycle of ska/reggae bands touring with irish punk bands.

first the bosstones and the murphys this summer and now aggro and flogging molly? some of us like going to shows without a bunch of bro-punk douchebags in guinness hats trying to start moshpits during a ska song.

give it a rest. we all know the only reason your pissed off is because you wont get to do your funny looking skipping routing you mod's or ska-punks, whatever you wanna call yourself, wanna do all night long - cause those same 'douchbags in guinness hat's' will run you over you if you 'dance' near our pit. pull your head out of your ass and sit in the corner if your scared - it's a punk rock show goddamnit!

grafixx (January 9, 2009)

lemme ask you, kid. got any idea how many of you douchebags with guinness hats are gonna be on the goddamn floor if you break the camera that i bring to shows to shoot pictures for my job?
