What the hell? Way to ruin a good time by attracting a thousand extra attendees who've only heard of those two bands. This is sort of surprising.

T-Buzz (March 31, 2011)

Your talking about The Haverchucks and Little Ozzy I presume.

3Fast3Furious (March 31, 2011)

I kind of groaned reading the headline and I'm still a little miffed that AM! and their fans will storm RVA, but seeing Iron Lung, Corrosion of Conformity, and Screaming Females all on the same weekend? I'm totally traveling 700 miles back to Virginia for this. Although nothing will ever beat the Municipal Waste/Propagandhi/Andrew WK show last year.

Misanthropee (March 31, 2011)

Yeah the lineup is indeed killer as all fuck, and if I have the cash and time I'll definitely be going. I will, however, be less stoked about it. Poor me.

istapledmyfoot (March 31, 2011)

Yeah, what are those fuckers trying to do, sell tickets?

Misanthropee (April 1, 2011)

You're not too familiar with this sorta music, are you?

Mammoth (March 31, 2011)

Converge makes me want to bash in my best friend's face. Just saying..

preston (March 31, 2011)

In a good way?

cheesetits (March 31, 2011)

The only way.

rsplatpc (March 31, 2011)

with kindness

Mammoth (March 31, 2011)

I only punch you because I love you

NothingToAdd (March 31, 2011)

Any guesses of what this year's April Fools story will be?

I'm thinking "Mikey Erg joins Def Leppard and promises to drum with just one arm"

scientistrock (March 31, 2011)

May I ask you why you think if you guessed it, it would still be a story?

adriel_saint (March 31, 2011)

It was already Propaghandi signing to Warner

tombagel (March 31, 2011)

Max Levine Ensemble's set should be streamed somewhere. Or at least "Ben Weasel Thinks We Suck"

adriel_saint (March 31, 2011)

Solid lineup. If I wasnt Canadian I would go

Patron (March 31, 2011)

Canadian's don't have best friends.

robalobadob (March 31, 2011)

It's the worst part of being Canadian. It's like I have a hole in me just waiting to be filled by a best friend.

adriel_saint (March 31, 2011)

Wanna be best canadian friends?

cheesetits (March 31, 2011)

Man I hate living up here, fuck everyone.

badbrain (March 31, 2011)

Sweet, Saturday at Hadad's Lake is alway such a good time

justthetip (March 31, 2011)

It was already crazy enough last year, but this is going to be out of control.

StraightToHell82 (March 31, 2011)

Converge= waste of talent.

Cheesetits (March 31, 2011)

You=waste of talent. Kapow!

Misanthropee (March 31, 2011)

Your mom.

kelly_d (March 31, 2011)

I loves me some Baroness Strike Anywhere. Those chicks rock!

social_t (March 31, 2011)

Seconded. Gotta love punctuation based humour!

IwishIwasdeaf (March 31, 2011)

So exited!! Already got my tickets.

Pg. 99, Converge, COC, 7 Seconds, Dear Landlord...dream show status.
I can't wait to see who else they get.

blackpowerballad (March 31, 2011)

Ha, so Tom likes punks again now that AM! isn't on Sire anymore? Funny. I seem to remember when he referred to the punk community as a "ghetto" that he was lucky to escape. I like his band, but come on.

Chaos_is_Goose (March 31, 2011)

This is like a better version/ more condensed version of The Fest.

boobthemusicindustry (March 31, 2011)

Consider myself excited
