Is it bad that the only reason i hate Brand New is because they're my ex-girlfriends' favorite band?

iamgodsongs (December 18, 2009)

yes, yes it is. on a side note i am stoked to hear this on wax. julliana theory not so much

chadreligion (December 18, 2009)

I think I remember seeing the juliana theory with The Get Up Kids ages ago, and they were rather boring
Stoked I am not.

I kinda like Understand this is a Dream back in the day, but after seeing them live, I can't stand them. The singer was wearing leather pants, had a faux hawk and had one of those headset microphones. He just came off like a huge popstar.

It should be funny, but it just makes me angry.

preston (December 18, 2009)

Oh that's right. He didn't have a faux hawk. He had the Tom-Cruise-in-Magnolia haircut.

xchemicalx (December 18, 2009)

He never wore a headset microphone either. You're lying out your ass. I've seen them 50 times and they've never used headset microphones.

"To this day, that is one of the most hilarious and completely false rumors I've ever heard about the band. I've owned up to nearly every dumb thing we've ever done, but I won't own up to that because it's just not true. The first person who can find and show me any genuine photograph of anyone in the 'theory wearing a headset microphone can have every single piece of musical gear I own. "

Misanthropee (December 18, 2009)

Maybe you're just repressing the painful memories.

I take it you were either venue staff or suffering some massive psychotic break.

xchemicalx (December 18, 2009)

I know what I'm implying is completely unfathomable: Some kid on a "punk rock" website is claiming to have seen a band that he never saw and has not only taken an internet rumor as fact but has inserted himself into the story as a witness to such things. I know it's unprecedented, and it's hard for you to understand, but it has happened.

Misanthropee (December 18, 2009)

I think YOU misunderstood the fact that I was actually making fun of your having seen such an awful band so many times. I trust the unimpeachable journalism of absolutepunk, but I'll still be keeping an eye out for that picture. If Brett Detar has no instruments, he can't make music!

xchemicalx (December 18, 2009)

Oh no, I didn't misunderstand a thing. You see, I could care less what strangers on the internet think of me, as opposed to people who make shit up (or blindly regurgitate internet lies) in an effort to make people look worse and, in their mind, make themselves look better.

I was at that tour too. There were no headset mics. But I think we all know Preston's talking out of his ass.

preston (December 18, 2009)

I saw them with the Ataris and Further Seems Forever.

deadg8 (December 18, 2009)

What else was he gonna do during a 2 minute intro. He probably sees that now and realizes he should have stayed off stage. The kung fu kick is pretty rad though.

iamgodsongs (December 18, 2009)

arguing on the internet is silly. if your favorite bands used headphone mics, you'd still eat the shit up. just because you don't look like a hipster, if you care so much about haircuts and posturing, you're just as much of a sheep, albeit a plaid clothed one. bah.

Misanthropee (December 18, 2009)

For me, the pretense and audience-exploitation are just the tip of the iceberg of why this band was cosmically shitty. I say "cosmically" because they love Jesus ALMOST as much as Detar loves himself.

iamgodsongs (December 18, 2009)

i don't really care about the band, they were always one of "those" bands even back when i was like 15, that people would reference but no one really listened too. still, this sort of pissing contest just is what makes people hate the comments section here. and it bothers me that everyone acts holier than thou about bands that have some sort of image, when "org-core" and almost every punk band besides fugazi is just as image based. if you ask me, at least when it came to the first wave of punk, it was all more about image than music. and that's why i dislike it.

preston (December 18, 2009)

Don't forget about "Blue Skies, Broken Hearts" reissue, from the same guy. Don't understand how he gets the rights to all these big titles. Same label that did the recent Blink vinyl.

Michael_Jackson_Jordan (December 18, 2009)

No I think that was Mightier Than Sword, if I'm not mistaken:

Anyway, reading the above posts about TJT made me laugh. I wrote this in the post about Juliana Theory reuniting for two shows in 2010 and I'll say it again: Emo Game 2.0 got it right when they made Brett Detar a character who is narcissist and has a special move of throwing autographed photos of himself at people. In his twitter account, he seems to think The Juliana Theory had a huge impact on inventing what would become the late 90s/early 2000s emo scene. In reality, they had nowhere as big of a fan base as The Get Up Kids or Jimmy Eat World. When they signed to a major label, they tried to become the next Creed, and they got dropped really quickly.

preston (December 18, 2009)

Yeah, oddly enough though, I think the same guy runs them: RJ.

mygreatdevastator666 (December 18, 2009)

RJ is putting all of those out. Same dude with the blink records. he also did the last lights and smartbomb records, which you should check out.

mountain man has a 10 inch coming out, and they kill it too.

IAmJetBlack (December 18, 2009)

I once went to see a bunch of bands near my hometown in CA, and Juliana Theory was one of them. At one point, a 12 year old or someone of similar age, got up on stage and was super stoked....the singer threw him into the drumkit and then they all stopped playing for a bit and the singer walked off stage. Fucking most awkward thing I'd ever seen. The kid was fine, but I'm sure he was butt hurt when his obviously fave band threw him into a drum kit.
