I watched a Fake Problems video on my On Demand cable the other day to see what the org fuss was all about. After watching the video I thought it was because it was Gabel's new band. So, you're telling me it's not his new band?

Uhm...Chris never believed in Anarchy and their new album has zero songs about the music industry.

I think Tom backpedaled and claims he never actually believed in anarchy and all that was just satire.

Chris never played in a band with buckets as an instrument? Tom Gabel is married and lives in California and has a horrible tattoo that Brendan of the Lawrence Arms gave him and Chris sites Cursive as one of his main influences.

I dig through people's trash...What?

they just look similar, except chris is a lot shorter

Report

Babrook (May 15, 2009)

-Both look similar
-Both are from Naples
-Both started org-praised bands as solo projects
-Both have/will sign to Majors
-Both turn me on in all the right ways
-Both have release shit on Sabot

Coincidence? I think not. It's really Tom in disguise.

spacemanspliff (May 15, 2009)

Not to be a Bemis, but it seems like every band specifically featured on this site has a gruff singer and poppy folk-punk riffs. Maybe it's just me. You're all going to stone me now.

Report

the_other_scott (May 15, 2009)

hot water music doesn't have any folk elements to them. rumbleseat and chuck's solo stuff? yeah. most punk rock has gruffy vocals and poppy riffs.

Report

spacemanspliff (May 15, 2009)

Haha wow, so much backlash. HWM is directly tied to Chuck for me I guess, I do enjoy both of them though. I dunno, the gruff stuff really isn't my thing for the most part. I'm more into the '80s hardcore type of punk.

Report

BigBuzzAldrin (May 15, 2009)

i guess i would have never liked hot water music with fake problems. i wouldn't even call fake problems new record a punk rock record.

i saw you were into hip hop, so as an example- you wouldn't go to a hip hop site and say "i like Atmosphere and everything, but enough with the POS."

Report

spacemanspliff (May 15, 2009)

I dunno, I kinda link HWM with folksy gruff punk, but that's probably just because of Chuck and stuff. I was half joking anyways.

Babrook (May 15, 2009)

Try their music message boards. the ysi 2.0 board or whatever. People there are amazing at finding what people need. I honestly don't know how they do it.

the instruments sound really great but all that echoing makes chris sound pretty bad in the first video. I still really enjoy this though.
