It should've taken an hour to get from downtown Providence to the Avalon in Boston. But no one told me and my buddy that you're supposed to follow the opposite direction of every sign pointing to Fenway Park.

Thanks to our driving time getting doubled, I completely missed New Mexican Disaster Squad's set (sorry guys), and what I'm sure was the first half of None More Black's set, according to one source in the crowd anyway.

After making a quick transaction for NMDS's self-titled full-length, I rushed into the room in the middle of "Banned from Teen Arts," which sounded great. I moved up after the next song and watched Jason and Co. play hard, fast, and bounding with energy. Most people's "abstract complaint" about the full-length was washed away. As the set finished, I confirmed with someone about them playing "Dinner's for Suckers" and "Everyday Balloons" during my absence, and then proceded to stab myself in the eye.

So with half my vision gone, Against Me! took the stage. It seemed like maybe they had similar vision distortion too - but in their case, as a result of alcohol consumption. Besides encouraging the crowd to flip them off, throw shit at them, and to seriously rethink one person's request to "suck a dick," the band also asked us to substitute a dancing / ass-shakingly good time for the moshing, pushing-each-other-around thing; and shake the crowd did. Even the grey-haired crowd control guy was getting into it. With quite the following, it turned out to be an incredibly anthemic set, a practical barroom singalong every song, but most notably "Cliche Guevara." The way they broke down one particular song was the most intense thing I've seen in memory next to Murder by Death.

After Rise Against finished setting up, the house lights went black. They walked back onto the stage, picked up their instruments and went right into "Black Masks & Gasoline," with Tim flying all over the stage. This song, one other, and "1000 Good Intentions" were all executed nicely, but it seemed like the band wasn't completely together yet. Plus, Aubin's review came to mind when I realized that Tim's vocals weren't completely audible. Once he picked up his guitar though, everything started to meld together. There was very little in-between banter, if any at all. An even more aggressive overtone gave songs like "Dead Ringer," "Heaven Knows," "Halfway There," "Broken Sense," "Like the Angel," "Voices Off Camera," "Amber Changing," "Six Ways 'Til Sunday," and "Faint Resemblance" an even stronger gloss. A new song they played but didn't mention the title of -- presumably off their upcoming Dreamworks debut -- had verses definitely reminiscent of The Unraveling, but a "whoaaaaa-oo-whoa"-laden chorus that reminded me of Strike Anywhere; and I'm never one to make that comparison between the two. I was surprised not to hear "Alive and Well," but all in all, a fluent set.

Now, say what you will about Anti-Flag, but they put together solid tour packages (see here, here, here, here, or here). They also put on a great show, playing tight, hard, fast, passionate, dedicated, [adverb]. Mocking police sirens blared through the air against a black stage, and aural quotes from both the left and the right (wings) filled the speakers. A-F took the stage and perpetrated the middle finger salute with the relatively mindless but fun "Fuck Police Brutality." Its follower, "Tearing Down the Borders," sounded as caustic as ever. The band paid homage by giving props to Woody Guthrie as one of their big influences before playing his "Post-War Breakout" for a good mood change-up. Delving right into "Angry, Young, & Poor" right after picked up the pace nicely. After all these years, it's obvious Justin still gets a kick out seeing people sing along and throw their fists. They also encouraged anyone who was of age to register to vote, but seemed to isolate this point from their Bush bashing, maybe to help get across a more important message, at that moment anyway, of just plain making a difference than biased action. Their message of peace also does get acrosss, too; after a slight altercation between two kids at one point, they took it upon themselves after the song to shake hands and apologize. A rousing encore of "Turncoat" and "Die for the Government" finished the night.

Set list (from the paper & accurate):

I love the Clash and the Ramones as much as the next guy, but the fact of the matter is you can't listen to them forever. One day you're gonna have to start listening to new music and not just the same 20 albums over and over again. While I am aware you probably have quite a few more albums than that, I think you can possibly get my point. Try opening yourself up to new things. It won't hurt.

BSD,
I'm not your age, but clearly you are pretty darn fat. Maybe not physically. Maybe you are a scrawny vegan. But in the ontological sense, you are a fat fuck.

I can think of a number of different instances where I will choose to listen to a "modern" band over The Clash and it doesn't have to do with thinking The Clash wasn't a more influential band, etc.

I am glad that you like to read. I wonder what kinds of books. I also wonder why you try to separate the serious and thoughtful (intellectual) from you and your "I like to read" business. Are you afraid of your image being tainted? Why is it necessary to make the distinctions that you are making?

You don't play sports because you are fat and are too busy fighting ignorance and suffering.

The whole "you remind me of ___" without actual comparison is a relatively poor attack.

Why were you so mean to the athletic boy and his girlfriend?

The new Rise Against song is called Give it All, and its on the Rock Against Bush compilation due to come out in march/april some time.

Due to popular request, instead of doing their closer which they had done all tour, our chant for "Alive and Well" went noticed. They played that instead after discussing it between themselves and said it was our fault if they fucked it up. It was flawless however, and an end to a good set. These guys never disappoint.

Is it the cunt who's my age who is attempting to hit a soft spot with the fat jokes? Well, that's pretty funny, as I'm remarkably skinny due to being vegan, but whatever floats your boat. I'm not fazed, though...

Any credibility you had was lost with "the Ramones and Clash suck, A-F is better"...

And this "you can't read good books unless you're an intelectual" tripe... Fuck you, I like to read, I'm just not an artsy, pretentious fuck.

Or sports... I don't play sports because I find them backwards and boring...

You remind me of this hardcore jock who threatened to "end" me with his "athletic pals" because I compared his girlfriend to the pig muppet.

3) Where there is ignorance, I will be angry.

Well, then you and I have found something to agree on, thrice's new MTV audience sucks. That's not saying that Thrice themselves suck (although you could argue that for all I care). Just calm down and realize that someday you will grow out of this phase of "pissed off, nobody has any taste, I know all" thinking and you'll just accept the people who like the bands that you don't and move on. Life is too short my friend for you to sit here on this message board ranting and raving about every single review. Go read a book instead of spending ungodly amounts of time on your computer. If you already read, read some more man. In ten years you are still this bitter at everything different than what you like I'd be surprised, I'd also pity you. Just take a day off or something, go outdoors, skateboard or play basketball or whatever it may be that you find fun. You will grow up.

Hhahahahaha, yeah kid, you heard it. There are a few bands everyone knows suck, A-F is one of them. ThriceGod, you and the 16 year old who assumes I'm fat and wear ripped up jeans can suck my big meaty cock.

You guys can take your shit tastes in music and jump off the bridge with them. You say these stupid things, then when people who've listened to punk since before Thrice was even around correct you on your stupidity, you call them "brash elitists".

No, you're just fucking ignorant. Anyone who thinks that A-F or Thrice put together are more talented than one Mick Jones is an idiot.

And don't pull that "it's all about opinion, no one cares!" crap, because this is a musical review site. I take it the posting system was made so the readers could critique this shite, that's what I'm using it for.

And here's my musical opinion about Thrice and A-F: The majority of their new, MTV-acquired audience is a cock-suck ignorant, image-based crew.

Ya fucks.

Maybe you should start taking it seriously. Doo-doo jokes only last for so long. I have never heard anything legitimate said that speaks to your little argument. Maybe it's time for you to grow up.

Something that "unconcerned" left out of his mini-DC review...

During the set by NMDS, the bass player dislocated his knee. So instead of them just ending the set, the bassist for Rise Against came out and played 2 covers with them:

1. Bad Brains "Banned in DC"
2. Minor Threat "Minor Threat"

Both sounded hella good for being so spur-of-the-moment.

My Score:

That's a really short set for a headliner.

My Score:

to answer the guy who asked about anti-flag using the same set on the tour...I was at the grand rapids show and I think they played "watch the right" "culture revolution" and "post-war breakout" so we didn't get the same set

My Score:

That's a fragment, and should end "with an even stronger gloss."

Did a-f use the same setlist for the entire tour?

My Score:

A) with Time flying all over the stage.

That should be Tim.

B) An even more aggressive overtone gave songs like "Dead Ringer," "Heaven Knows," "Halfway There," "Broken Sense," "Like the Angel," "Voices Off Camera," "Amber Changing," "Six Ways 'Til Sunday," and "Faint Resemblance."

That's a fragment, and should end with "an even stronger gloss." or something.

C) Although it's highly likely that A-F had planned on doing the encore they did, it didn't actually say the encore on the set list.
