Burning Empires (Fall Out Boy, Misery Signals) plan 7-inch

Posted by aubin on Tuesday, November 3, 2009 at 12:30 PM (EST)

Hardcore act Burning Empires (first announced in September) which features Stuart Ross, Kyle Johnson and Ryan Morgan of Misery Signals, Andy Hurley from Fall Out Boy and vocalist Matt Mixon, have announced their debut 7-inch.

The band describes the sound:

BE is a crusty hard-charging hardcore punk with nary a melodic or metal shred in site. The bulk of the songwriting is done by Ross and lyrics are by Morgan who handles vocals (unlike his guitar position in Misery Signals). Ross says of the band "musically I wanted to do a band in relation to Misery Signals, a more punky hardcore version of what we were doing influenced by bands like Propaghandi, Comeback Kid and Cursed.

The band has a MySpace page and will be releasing their debut 7-inch November 10th via their own FC Records.

anyone who uses the adjective "punky" should be shot

What about Chips Ahoy?

They should be shot with delicious chocolate chips.

MattRamone (November 3, 2009)

Any "punk" band who describes their sound as having even a little bit of metal is almost inevitably going to sound just like a metal band. "Oh no, it's this weird mixture of punk and hardcore and thrash and crust." No, you're another dumbass metal band.

red_eye_inc (November 3, 2009)

If you look closely they said that there ISN'T any metal influence

MattRamone (November 3, 2009)

Look at the bands they listed.

MattRamone (November 3, 2009)

Also, did you actually listen to the song they posted? They're a metal band.

I just hate that I can't say I like hardcore anymore because everyone thinks I'm talking about that stupid meathead Madball shit.

red_eye_inc (November 3, 2009)

No, I didn't listen to the song. I'm at work where I don't have sound. Madball sucks, tough guy hardcore is such a joke.

LookingForCorpses (November 3, 2009)

Your ignorance continues to be baffling.

MattRamone (November 3, 2009)

Saying "that's not metal, that's metallic hardcore" is like saying "that's not an asshole, it's a butthole."

LookingForCorpses (November 3, 2009)

And you continue. Unreal.

Today on Punknews: "Feces, how big is too big?"

Stay tuned.

Ask Scott.

24HourPriapism (November 3, 2009)

if i didn't know who was in this band, i'd say this wasn't bad. not particularly distinctive, but not bad by any means. just sounds like another band trying to do that from ashes rise d-beat thing. could've been way worse.

TheOneTrueBill (November 3, 2009)

Not crust.

TheOneTrueBill (November 3, 2009)

They have a show listed for The Borg Ward in Milwaukee. Let's hear it for that place.

miniblindbandit (November 3, 2009)

they should tour with nations afire.

letthebeatdrop (November 3, 2009)

haha, what a shit storm.

madomen (November 3, 2009)

however I like that their band picture clearly shows why you should never fondle a girl on her period

DarrenMcLeod (November 3, 2009)

In the Calgary Herald today:

"Among old school Weezer fans, Raditude is destined to go down as the band's pop sellout record"

...wait, what?

xrebelheartsx (November 3, 2009)

How many times will the band lineup be reported on before someone actually realizes "oh wait, Ryan Morgan sings for this band, not Matt Mixon"?

Matt sang for 7A7P, and doesn't sing for Burning Empires. See right there in the quote from the band where it says "lyrics are by Morgan who handles vocals (unlike his guitar position in Misery Signals"? Yeah, that's a pretty big indicator.

the_creeps (November 3, 2009)

fall out boy

TheProblemWithFire (November 3, 2009)

oh great, now all the fucks who like these two bands are going to think this is the shit, while completely ignoring that bands like tragedy, ramming speed, cursed, etc. are doing and were doing. at least that's usually what seems to happen...
