Saw Midtown on the Rock Against Bush tour in 2004. They played with Anti-Flag, Tom Morello, Strike Anywhere, and Mike Park. They got the biggest response.

I hope my response didn't discredit or dishearten your excitement. I didn't mean it that way at all Paul.

No, not at all. I am just beyond stoked. "El Vato Loco" is one of my favorite records. And your are right, any kid who thinks this gruff pop punk thing started with OWTH or even D4 is about to get their brains blown through their feet.

Never got to see him. He has a few tour dates, maybe you can catch him somewhere? I am always optimistic for you to see bands.

Me too Sean. I've pretty much accepted that live music is pretty much a lost cause for me.

He's awesome, I can't wait for you to see him.

There are talks of me starting a band with a couple guys from Philly once my one buddy gets back from Canada (his band's on tour with Ted Leo!). I'll try my best to follow up on my promise to tour around your schedule, haha.

I don't think Off With Their Heads could tour around my schedule.

I'll just have to pull a MOAM and have clone bands.

why is it always the people who eat meat and support factory farming the ones who always bring this up? since when did you start really giving a shit what happens to animals? just curious.

Report

theproblemwithfire (June 30, 2010)

also, you should know what you're talking about before you open your mouth (i'm not necessarily defending peta or the hypocrisy of anyone in their organization killing animals-though, lets face it, they aren't an animal shelter). The CFC, where the "peta kills" info comes from is a front group with numerous ties to various fast food, meat, dairy, etc. companies. No shit they're attacking peta.

petakills (June 30, 2010)

Exactly, PETA isn't an animal shelter and they are full of hypocrites. (VP of PETA takes insulin, for example) I'm sick of their shit at warped tour and being tied to the punk scene in general. Everyone at warped sporting their "Im not a nugget sticker" is exactly that, a nugget. Who gives a shit what PETA thinks about anything. I won't defend the CCF, but I'll defend my right to eat animals, smoke, and have a beer.
