Before Hot Rod Circuit were known worldwide, before Hot Rod Circuit were part of the star-studded Vagrant roster, and basically before Hot Rod Circuit were popular, they put out a self-titled EP back in the summer of 1999. I know because they gave me one when I booked them a show on their first ever tour that same summer. The CD, limited to merely 2000 copies, captured the band's intensity and inherent catchiness in it's scant five tracks. The band, in my opinion, has yet to top this EP, so I'm happy to say that it's been re-released as "Been There Smoked That" along with a ton of other previously unavailable material.

I thought your review was funny, now I realize that you are a twit. I'm ryan, you might remember me from the review of Thursday/Planes at the rave...i just wanted to say...the cover of this cd FUCKING RULES!!! SHROOMS!!! GANJA EVERYWHERE! Not that i wasn't into em before, but i have gained so much more respect for HRC through this cd...that is all "life weights" I smoke, have for years.... I also work out, and life weights..... I can tell you right now that I can lift a 30lb curl bar.... *lol* to think that someone couldn't if funny.... to think that they can't because they smoke is hillarious... last I checked, smoking did not decrease your strength or muscle mass.... Yeah, brah, we're all about lifting weights here. Like, you can't lift as much as me dude. i was refering to the guy who said i watched too many "Truth" comercials....thats not it....i used to drink heavily anbd i got out of shape...even when i worked out...but when i quit my energy and shape were a billion times better. smoking is even worse...my friend smoked a pack a day and he couldn't even lift a 30 lb curl! nobody was acting tough because they drank Like I said, there is nothing wrong with it or any drugs, just don't act like a tough guy thinking that you're tough because you drink...it's laughable. "Drinking so that you can escape your problems is weakness. Drinking to make girls look good is weakness. I wanna fuck my girlfriend, not puke all over her." Hahahahahahaha, Emonews.com I am a diehard HRC fan and I admit that some of their stuff is boring. But if you listen to "If It's cool with you, it's cool with me", it is a great cd. But "the pharmisict" is a great song off of their second latest release. This cd is great by the way Thank you for visiting EmoNews.com, where our last 5 album reviews include the stunning PUNK artists Hot Rod Circuit, Slowride/Eniac, Jimmy Eat World, Dashboard Confessional, and a comp with Midtown!!! "limited" to 2000, hahaha Every review has a bunch of people saying "This sucks". *lung disease, sorry, must be all those drugs i did What? weakest link? everything will fuck up your body you these days. Breathing the air can give you lund disease, eating fatty foods can clog your arteries, being in the sun can give you skin cancer. just like drinking can 'mess your body up' or whatever. I don't tell someone who likes to sunbathe, "oooh, let's sunbathe so we can look good and get cancer at the same time!" Jeezz. dude, sorry if i like being in good shape and i like my body. if you wanna self destruct that's fine. I mean, I'm pro all drug legalization, i think it's your fucking right to do what u want. But that doesn't mean it's not stupid. Just know that you are the weakest link. Drinking so that you can escape your problems is weakness. Drinking to make girls look good is weakness. I wanna fuck my girlfriend, not puke all over her. that is some shitty artwork. Reminds me of Alice in Wonderland (I just finished wathcing that in Sociology). the D7 artwork makes this look like Van Gogh "smoking sooooo cool....let's like totally become weak, lung fucked smelly peices of garbage!" smoking sooooo cool....let's like totally become weak, lung fucked smelly peices of garbage! "D7 or these guys? Who has the worse cover? Come, be honest." a firm 5 because I've never heard this band. D7 or these guys? Who has the worse cover? Come, be honest. I like the cover. Reminds me of the time i dropped A and went up to Red Rocks. eerily reminiscent. this is not the worst album title, its still "bad mother trucker" Is this a straight-edge band? I can't tell. To Kurt_F: I heard "Radiation Suit" and thought immediately it would be a radio hit, i guess they didn't get a hold of it. Don't like this band at all. Does the cd have "Very Best Friend"? Quite possibly the best HRC song ever. I meant unless it would be great. Ok, I agree that if you don't like it enough, just don't buy it. Not spend a certain amount depending on how much you like it. But to say you won't spend any money unless it's your favorite is retarded. How the hell could any of you say "I'll buy it if it only costs $10." That record better be one of my faves if more than a dime goes to it. You seem like you're all rich kids. That five song EP was really good. The full length that came out after that "If I knew now what I knew then" was even better. However, everyone needs money, so I ended up selling them to the record store, I kinda regret it though. Great review,CRAPPY BAND !!! I loved the 6-7 songs I downloaded by them when I learned they were playing a show with Thrice,FSF,and Recover.But when I saw them,they nearly put me to sleep-they were uninspired,unenergetic,and generic,what the hell ? Plus they didn't fit in with the lineup at all.ButI'll probably buy this,just to check it out. wizo-uuarrgghh ! I have their latest CD and it is BORING. Cover sucks, title sucks, band sucks, Scott's review notwithstanding. Fuck this. heh, i doubt anyone who even posted a comment to this has _heard_ the cd, so once again, shut up. the album cover makes me eyes hurt Yeah, I second the "boring" comment. This band is about as uninspired as they come. And the album title does really suck. Why is this band so boring? what the??!!!??? is this a dre record? Worst album title ever. |
