The chick who sings in the Bouncing Souls is hot.

Sickboi!

Post more you bastard. I hate everyone else here.

You're just jealous, cocksucker.
And I read the reviews, and it's only in two.

This score is for the same person posting about the new Leftover Crack album in every review.

Where'd you get the new loc?
and when's is suppsoed to come out?

Dunno but i heard them saying that they don't play some older songs anymore cuz they're bored or sick of those

does anybody know if HWM ever plays trademark live? its one of my favorite songs

This score is for assholes that think knowing about a fucking piece of meat with cheez whiz on bread makes them a fucking superstar...

How about just saying "you know, if you want a good steak, I'd recommend 'such and such' or 'hoobity-hoo' befor going to Geno's or Pat's"...cockass.

This score is for Greyarea.

ari katz sings on a Grey area song. I wanted to know what it was called.

During the set, some dude ran up and sang Ari's part. Ernie jokingly said, "Fuck you, that's Ari Katz's part"

yeah, what was that offhand comment about ari katz?

this review didn't need more details, if you weren't there that's just too damn bad for you. incredible show, souls played mostly old stuff. the first time i've ever heard grey area and i bought all their cd's and they've been rotating through my stereo all week since. philly crowd especially knows how its done, especially those of us in the back during bouncing souls, fuck 13 year old kids and their skanking.

"I saw two nights of HWM and the Souls in LA a couple months ago at the Troubador. Both shows fucking went off."

I only went to the second show, but it was fantastic. Bands sounded great, not to mention the Troubadour just kicks ass.

Score's for the new LEFTOVER CRACK album.
IT ROCKS!

Has anyone been to Voltaco's in Ocean City, NJ? Good fucking hoagies. Tiny T's in Media is a good dirtball place. Seriously, hook me up with a cheesesteak from Apollo's.
Mr. Kenzigton

Amen to the guy below me.

Delassandro's > ALL.

This score is for people think you get a good steak at Genos or Pats. They both suck & the only people who go there are out of towners who don't know this first thing about a good cheesesteak anyway. They go to one of those two shitholes when they're in Philly & leave thinking they had a real Philly cheesesteak. Suckers.

Avail,HWM and the Souls in two nights is fucking awesome. I envy you. I saw two nights of HWM and the Souls in LA a couple months ago at the Troubador. Both shows fucking went off. Can someone from Philly please send a hoagie and cheesesteak out to LA? They suck out here. I'll pay shipping and cooling.
Mr. Kenzington

the reviewer was reviewing a different show, avail played the night before this

I bow in reverence to each of these bands... and i hope grey area make it out to boston.
nice review, and that cro(w)s cd was tight man.

At the NY show they said the same thing about recording the show for a live record. Perhaps they will pick the best show and release that one. That would be really lame if they mix and match from 3 or more different shows. The NY show was ok, but there sets are getting to be way too predictable. They play pretty much the same songs every show. Boohoo.

"This was by far an incredible night. Maybe I sound a little sappy, but with all the bullshit I see in music today, this was about as pure as it gets. Good music, good people"

couldn't have said it better myself. this really was an awesome night. grey area and the souls played really really well. the philly crowd was going nuts the whole night, especially for bouncing souls.

i really like the loved ones too.

Cool story C-Dawg i'll be watching out for that BS news
-PsychoOS231

damn my comments read like a 13 year old girl... for shame..

and furthermore, who bitches about AVAIL, besides a angry guy i know named josh & was a skinhead, and likes the lemonheads... anyways... those people should be shot... half a star for their ignnorance. bitches..

this review sucks a fat one. who sees AVAIL and doesnt review them.... damn.

you suck reviewer!

It was great when HWM came out at the end of the BS set to do "Trusty Chords" with them, and Chris from HWM jumped into the crowd and was upside down for at least 30 seconds.

A funny thing happened when I was waiting in line (at least I thought it was funny). Gerald Colepan from Fox 29 local news comes up to the line with a camera guy. He addresses the line: "We're doing a story on how independent groups like the Bouncing Souls can be successful without the help of radio or MTV play! Who wants to talk?" Nobody says anything. So he proceeds to walk up and down the line and talk to one or two kids on camera in search of the perfect soundbyte. For some reason he singles me out. "Wanna talk about the Bouncing Souls?" My first thought was "I don't wanna be on camera like some lunatic fan" but then I thought fuck it; if it'll help bring attention to the Bouncing Souls and real punk in general then it's worth it.
So he starts talking to me and has a real attitude. You can just tell this guy is pissed that he fucked up somewhere along the way, and is wishing he was viewed as a credible journalist and not talking to a bunch of kids waiting outside a punk show. He's asking me these general questions: "How'd you hear of the BS, What makes their shows great, etc." The funny thing is when I was done talking, he says in this funny loud voice "So you mean to tell me that the Bouncing Souls remember that ROCK is supposed to be FUN!?!?" (This must be his thesis statement- why else would he say it so loud and strangely?) I say "Yea, you said it best." He says "NO! Say it!" So I then turned to the camera and said "The BS remember that rock is supposed to be fun." It reminded me of the Simpsons where Apu has the octuplets and the reporter says "Would you say you're on Cloud 9?" Apu tries to respond when the reporter says "NO! Say it! We need the soundbyte!" Fucking reporters and their soundbytes.

ps- the story has not yet aired to my knowledge.

My comment about Brian McTernan had to deal with the fact that every record he produces is starting to sound the same to me. He's like John Feldman in that every record has the exact same snare and guitar tone. Also I dislike "Flight and a Crash" and think "Caution" is decent at best. I had to blame someone so I blamed him. I'll take J. Robbins anyday even though his recent stuff hasn't been so hot. Score is for "No Division," shitty production and all.

i am so jealous you went to both shows. but that is awesome there will be a live cd. lets hope it will be a double cd. they have enough material. and isnt it weird that they are now going to have a live EP and a live full length cd. the live EP is average at best. i think they just put that out so that people would not miss the souls too much.

Wow...and you're telling me I should stop reviewing.

wait, what was that about ari katz?

Score is strictly for the lunch at Geno's. 10X's better than Pat's anyday! For any other sandwhich besides a cheesesteak, go to Tony Lukes.

YES YES YES YES YES !!!

New LIVE Souls CD !

hahaha, i completely agree... ass.

good review....to guy a couple of posts below me, you are probably the only guy that hates brian mcternan you lame bitch... you try producing a solid record and put it next to one of his. ass.

wow. great review, and i'm way past jealous. avail and the souls one night and hwm and the souls again the next AND it was being recorded...bet you can't fucking wait to get your hands on that disc.

The Troc's sound is strange..... if you are on the floor it seems to sound better on the floor and not in the back. something with the acoustics make it sound bass heavy and muddle the vocals.
generally upstairs sounds good, but it's almost always 21 ....

i can't wait for the live release. they had a pro-tools rig pulling all the channels off the sound board, so it will not just be the live mix that was pumped through the house system.

Also, am I the only person here that hates Brian McTernman?

I was right behind that really scary pit, pretty much right infront of the sound guy. I'm just going to blame it on him because i had difficulty hearing Jayson Black's bass too and because he was old. Score is for the old sound guy.

thats because us philly people know how to do it.....i was in pittsburgh for a while and i must say that every show i went to in that town was horrible, worse crowds in the history of crowds....ive been to shows in ny and d.c both holding their own but pittsburghs gots to go...

Yo Sick, HWM's been saying their new stuff is going in some kind of a different direction. Every fucking band seems to say that when they're recording a new album though. So, what's your assessment? Do they sound like "Caution" or what?

Kenjamin, where were you at? I was in the balcony and the sound was great up there...

I was downstairs the night before for Avail and it did sound a little muffled...

The Loved Ones left a good impression in my mind. Nothing really stands out but they sounded big for a three piece and very tight. This was the first time I ever heard of Grey Area and made the 2.5 hour drive worth it. Despite the sound being a bit off (could barely hear the lead guitar) they played an awesome set. What is the song called where Ari Katz sings? I didn't like the new Hot Water Music songs they played because there was no dual singing. Chuck sang and Chris played lead or vice versa. However, they played 3 songs off of No Division! Awesome and Turnstile sounded amazing. Not sure what is the big deal with the Bouncing Souls but whatever, they were alright in my book.

I was hoping my first review in over a year would be a little better, but I lost my digi-cam, and I wrote this at work, so fire away with the insults, I could care less.

Oh, and for anyone that cares, the record is gonna be on Chunksaah! Records...

SickbOI!

Great news about the souls album.

I don't care how many times we've heard it, if you're going to write a review, explain things in FULL.
