never seen loc live in pennysylvania., but there easily the best thirdwave ska band (well, choking victim as well, but ya know they're sorta interchangeable).
here on cape cod we have terrible ska bands (like 2 out of the 15 are worth it) and i just do my own skankmosh (basically a twostep with windmills) and when one of teh local punk bands covered an loc it brought downt the house. normally i plow through the ska fags, but to LOC hardcore kids, ska fags, crusties, sxe toughguyz, everybody moshes and dances and violates everybody elses space. the best.

I was at this show. I bet some of you peoples would remember me, cuz I pissed a lot ot people off, and I was really drunk. It was so freaking cold outside then it was so hot in there and there was no room. The security guy there was an asshole and almost didnt let us back in. And whoever posted the LOC setlist missed a lot of songs. So you wanna be a cop? And I know there was more.

Did anyone else see when the guy from LOC sang along to Spazzs House Destruction Party? Somone should email me infested_victim@hotmail.com

the 10 is for the good leftover crack and the number of dwarves Wuss has taken it from over the years.

i had the displeasure of seeing anti-flag at the warped tour(boy did that suck) and they just bitched about george bush the whole time. they should go on a hunger-strike for something. theyre also really bad and whiny. its like hardcore for emo kids.

but yeah, LOC is the shit. the rest of the bands can suck me off.

hey, you know how they had the Anti-Warped Tour in toronto or something, and the have the Slamdance Film Festival, which is like the anti-Sundance? well, i wonder how long till theres an anti-anti-warped tour. food for thought.

First off, the first band was Better Off Dead, a local hardcore band who fucking rules. Sucks you missed them.

Whatever it Takes is absolutely amazing, and you should pick up thier CD.

The Vacancy = best emo-pop band in Pittsburgh... fuck that, east coast.

The Code- Fucking rule. Period.

Leftover Crack- their fans smell. they smell. their music is pathetic. boooorin.

Anti-Flag- awe-inspiring. fuck what you have to say... yeah they've changed.. they've also added two members since "Die for the gov't"... Tom Morello (sp, who cares, I hate Rage against the machine) is producing the next record.. which ought to be pretty sweet.

Ehhh....I sort of listen to ska,(no, not Reel Big Fish, stuff like Desmond Decker and The Specials)and I don't even think the Code are any way a ska(or ska punk) band. Not even AAA is considered a ska band, Danny Lore said himself. I think it's just that The Code are heavily influeced by Op Ivy and have a tendency to play that little guitar riff, but that hardly makes them a ska band.

Wuss, go take your conservative ramblings elsewhere. Sane has alot to say, and just because he can't fit it into a song doesn't mean he shouldn't say it. There is a small (actually, rather large) group of people in the U.S.. I despise: It is gutless, pro-war, pro-Bush creeps like you.

Good review. Good bands. I'm sorry I missed the show.
Wuss can fuck off because Anti-Flag is a good band. They are not doing anything ground breaking, but they play good, fun music and putting on an awesome live show. Also, about their message. For the most part, they are right. Sure, they throw around the word "fascist" too much, but they are right to say that bush is an asshole and his policies are hurting the country and the world. If you don't like Justin's rants, then deal with it. They have an important message and it would be stupid of them not to use their concerts to try to get it across to other people.
Finally, that Kovalev trade was ridiculous. What the hell are the Pens thinking?

Posted by Anonymous on Wednesday, February 12, 2003 at 6:00 AM (EST)
My Score:

Pat's faces scare me too. And the first band was Whatever It Takes, Chris #2 from Anti-Flag's side project. The Code and Leftover Crack are to of the best punk/ska bands around today, I wish I lived around Pitt so I could have seen it. And Infested and 500 Channels are better than anything LOC has put out so far, but i'm looking forward to the new album. As far as Anti-Flag goes, they are some of the nicest guys I have ever met. Pat is awesome and so is Justin. Yeah their older stuff is better. And yes the political stuff can be a little much sometimes. But they still have the ability to put on a great show, and a lot of what Justin says at shows has a lot of truth behind it. I'm glad to hear any voice that goes against the shit that gets spewed by the Bush administration or any administration for that matter. Alternative voices are always welcome in my book.

if you let anti-flag be responsible for your own personal or political beliefs you're gonna become retarded. actually, you probably are anyway.

they're a fun band to see and they put on an amusing show if you're willing to forgive a few speeches. i had fun dancing and goofing around with my friends.

Everyone may not agree with them but they are using their fame as a forum to talk about things they feel strong about, you cant fault them for speaking their mind. and you of all people should not be telling people they have bad taste in music when you get so upset when people bust on you

Yes, their speeches might have a meaning behind them, but their lyrics should have a strong enough meaning that they wouldn't need to talk for half of their set to make a point.

My Score:

the review is wrong, there were a couple bands that played before the vacancy. one of them had the annoying bass player from anti flag playing guitar and singing. they weren't too bad actually. they did the generic style of what's going around now... you know, two guitarists, shaggy hair, octaves, etc... but they did it pretty well.

anyways, i thought LOC's set was pretty weak. they gotta knock it off with the choking victim stuff. the new stuff is so much better.

i was really amused at how half the crowd left after loc though. they upstaged anti-flag on their home turf. that made me laugh. they played a few songs and gave an equal amount of lectures. man, they fucking suck at that too. if you're gonna waste half your set preaching, at least write a good sermon

bill o'reilly=suv's=fuck the american flag?

i left confused.

That comment about the SUV didn't make any sense whatsoever. I agree with Bostonmusicguy, since when does someone have to be poor to be political? what next? if you're not poor, you can't be into punk or play an instrument..?

Posted by BostonMusicGuy on 2003-02-11 16:45:12
My Score:

Since when does a person need to come from a rough childhood, poor household or broken home to be political. If you are going to complain about them being political base it on the stands they take not on whether or not they came from a family with money. As for Wuss's comment, he should have just left out the whole parking situation and the rest of the boring stories that have nothing to do with the performance. The score is for LOC, and Im giving 2 to Anti-Flag because they used to rock.-BostonMusicGuy
