Can't wait, The Ducky Boys are one of my all time favorites. Saw Ducky Boys w/DKM and Oxymoron in 99ish in Cleveland, great show but they havent been back since. I know odds of a tour are slim so Ill just be psyched to hear the new record.

Isn't "chasing the ghost" slang for trying to get as high of heroin as you did the first time?

Pretty tasteless putting this over the story about the dead junkie from Weezer.

hooverstreet (October 10, 2011)

You're thinking of chasing the dragon.

discofucker (October 10, 2011)

More tasteless than referring to him as a dead junkie?

lookingforcorpses (October 10, 2011)

You continue to not know what you're talking about.

throwdown is "later this month"?

Abedforliars (brittany) (October 10, 2011)

Ah poo. I meant later this year. Thanks for catching that.

"Hey fellas, a few important things before we head out: Is our self-worth tied to our geographic and socio-economic backgrounds? Did we write enough songs about drinking, fighting and the working class? Did we remember to bring our old-timey newsboy hats? Good on all three? Fantastic. Lets go to the pub."

If that's your impression of this band, you've never listened to them.

mattramone (October 10, 2011)

Where are they from again?

lookingforcorpses (October 10, 2011)

I believe Boston. I can't wait to see you completely jam your foot into your mouth on this explanation.

MikeApathy (October 10, 2011)

How am I wrong? Indulge me.

lookingforcorpses (October 10, 2011)

Delve into their lyrics, especially past the first record. Songs are more personal nature than the "I'm from the streets of Boston" stuff that you're referencing.

MikeApathy (October 11, 2011)

You know what? Fair enough. I'm not so pig headed where I won't give them another listen through a different pair of headphones. You gotta admit though...The whole "Tough Guy, 'I'm from NY' Hardcore" and "Irish Working Class, 'I'm from Boston' Punk Rock" are two pretty tired scenes.

lookingforcorpses (October 11, 2011)

I agree. However, this band isn't really "one of those" bands. They were lumped in with them, and starting out had a lot of similarities, but definitely went in a completely different direction.

MikeApathy (October 12, 2011)

I totally think Dillinger Four should write a ton more songs about being from Minneapolis. If Boston and NY bands can be insufferable pricks, no reason Minnesota bands should take a back seat.

"Center for the Arts...Kevin Love...Prince, oh yah. Twin Cities bitches, you betcha. Look at how awesome my tuque is. Buy the new record. If you need me, I'll be at the Triple Rock, drinking pops and eating a lutefisk. Uff-da!" -Frank C.

hooverstreet (October 15, 2011)

The Replacements sang about being from Minneapolis.

punkguy83 (October 11, 2011)

right on

mattramone (October 10, 2011)

Thanks for clearing that up! Bands from Boston are always so cagey about where they're from and how they feel about their hometown.

lookingforcorpses (October 10, 2011)

You are really such a dink, it's amazing.

lookingforcorpses (October 10, 2011)

Yes, every band from Boston, ever, only sings about Boston. And yes, the Cobra Skulls are probably the best punk band of all time.
