Published on December 16th 2003
A reviewer lamented earlier about a band being "the type that Epitaph should pick up" and I'm tempted to reuse that comment here. That sentiment has nothing to do with label preference (Bankshot’s an awesome label), it’s made out of longing for a style the powers-that-be in the punk scene are no longer paying attention too. This is that melodic hardcore sound that was everywhere in the mid 90s, championed by Californian labels like Epitaph or Fat Wreck. It was a time when pop punk was nothing more than Ramones-inspired tunes from the Lookout! stable and when the rise of emo music was nothing more than a bad campfire story we'd use to scare kids.

This Album is fucking great the best in Melodic Hardcore mixed with a few other styles to make it interesting the problem is its better than most of the stuff Epitaph/Fatwreck were putting out back then as its more diverse and harder, get this album. Living Ends new album is the best after we released this album we had to build a halfpipe. weird. the next album will want to make you do something else though. it wont be an extreme sport however. I love this cd!!! Seriously, this band will be huge. for those of you in the know, E-40, the original ballaholic, has a song called mustard and mayonaise. it is the fucking shit. this is a very awesome album .. i heard these guys lately their newer shit is just ridiculously great GO SEE THEM LIVE "head cheese" is one of the few terms that has two meanings that are both equally disgusting. I saw some ham with cheese injected into it at the store the other day, it made me think of that stuff that was peanut butter and jelly in the same jar." Whoa--hey, this be some good shit. i downloaded arrowed! cause it reminded me of teen girl squad! i downloaded Arrowed! based solely on the fact that it was favorably compared to Down By Law. Living end= feb 2004-oldpunker- dude the ends new album isnt all that great so calm down someone tell me. when the FUCK is the living end's album coming out in the US? they waiting for the end of the world or something? and id say the music is good too when the rise of emo music was nothing more than a bad campfire story we'd use to scare kids. The singer reminds me of the singer from Trial By Fire at times. i'm going to go drink a 40 this album fucking rules, and is that stza singing on track 2 as well, i swear thats him. In french, "eggnog" is called "lait de poule". That translates into chicken milk. what about "olive loaf"? They must tour. They must come to the MidWest. They must play Lawrence, KS. I will do everything in my power to see these guys live, even if it means booking the show myself. "HOLY SHIT Please tell me "Arrowed!" is a TGS reference." "head cheese" is one of the few terms that has two meanings that are both equally disgusting. I saw some ham with cheese injected into it at the store the other day, it made me think of that stuff that was peanut butter and jelly in the same jar. HOLY SHIT Please tell me "Arrowed!" is a TGS reference. I got a worse one...."Head Cheese" On a semi-related note, bologne is disgusting, but it's not as bad as pimento loaf. "when the rise of emo music was nothing more than a bad campfire story we'd use to scare kids." the mother could be you! I do what I can, each day is another chance to make a difference! What can I say Forty, you're an inspiration to us all. "A reviewer lamented earlier about a band being "the type that Epitaph should pick up" and I'm tempted to reuse that comment here." Pretty cool, i feel like goin skatin-oldpunker- |
