Published on July 27th 2004
About two years ago, the alternative weekly in the East Bay ran a story about local up-and-comers the Pattern (if you don’t remember them, you aren’t the only one) and the burgeoning garage rock revival. A major label publicist interviewed in the story had this to say about the new movement, which she called “small-scale rock.” People who liked this also liked:           Please login or register to post comments.

This Album Is Awesome and If You Like This Get Some New Bomb Turks Shit!!! A for this CD and NBT Decent review, killer album. i dont consider this emo, although emo is a horrible trend id like to say you people pay too much attention to image. you complain about band's image's but thats all you look at. it effects the way you understand the music. when i look at hives i see good old rocknroll, rolling stones Obviously, the meaning and symbolism of the album title was too much for the person below to comprehend. major label ugly poser band...dumb generic and the tyrant lizard hives? what the fuck is that supposed to mean? a palientologist's nightmare...a music lover's nightmare. Ska's been around longer than punk garage rock like Stooges... Neither are phads to real music fans. "What's that shit about swedes and not be able to write lyrics. This only shows that the reviewer doesn't know a shit about swedish punk-music. Ever heard Voice of a generation, Randy or No fun at all?" The Album is good but not that good!. I feel bad for having posted on a comment... Everyone's an idiot I feel bad for having posted on a comment... Everyone's an idiot "What's that shit about swedes and not be able to write lyrics. This only shows that the reviewer doesn't know a shit about swedish punk-music. Ever heard Voice of a generation, Randy or No fun at all?" Yeah, the T(I)NC record should be out in the States soon, if I'm not mistaken. The release date on this site was for Europe. It's out in the U.K. about now, and I'm guessing in the U.S. in the next week. Can't be sure though, since it's American releasing it there, as opposed to Burning Heart. there is a scene for this music, but its stuck between rock bands that play on the bar circuit and just play no frills rock and roll, take the hives old record label in the states, gearhead records, with its roster, or even with the international noise conspiracy, there were bands playing that type of music, or with the white stripes, holly golightly and her british cohorts have been doing really great warm rock records for the last 2 decades, and people think jack white discovered her. But when these bands get big, the "scene" becomes them plus 8 bands the majors made up, like jet, or the darkness, and the whole community gets left behind, history gets rewritten to show these bands all coming from nowhere, and the bands that have never been a part of the community get a free pass. Is there an actual scene for this crap or is it just hype created that people caught onto and made a faux-scene out of? I like No Fun At All, but some of their lyrics are pretty bad. What's that shit about swedes and not be able to write lyrics. This only shows that the reviewer doesn't know a shit about swedish punk-music. Ever heard Voice of a generation, Randy or No fun at all? TYRANNOSAURUS HIVES is a great record that is fast and a great album to listen to. i say buy it! Hipster emo is for future Republicans. What an ignorant review. Hey buddy don't quit your day job... "racism and ignorance don't make a good review. ska was around before garage rock. the swedish also know english just about as well as any of us, if not better. ass." the reviewer couldn't have gotten any more wrong. i think this album is fucking incredible! it's very intense, the riffs are fucking catchy, and their songwriting got much better. an instant classic. "p.s. Emo is for people that will never, ever get laid." "p.s. Emo is for people that will never, ever get laid." While garage rock has far surpassed ska in longevity "p.s. Emo is for people that will never, ever get laid." "While garage rock has far surpassed ska in longevity" I liked the other review of this better. I liked the lead singer better when he was Mick Jagger. Why don't you do us all a favor Mick and go back to blowing David Bowie off and trying to find that one last rock to smoke, so it will truly be the end of all gimmicky rock! The swedes should only export their women and leave their music in their garages! Speaking of T(I)NC, am I the only one wondering what happend to Armed Love? I thought it was supposed to be out today (even tho this website had it listed as being out on the 20th on the side), but I can't find it in any stores around here. Also, Amazon and Interpunk don't have it even listed as an upcoming release on their sites. This review was fucking horrible, your comparing ska to garage rock why? because a few of the bands have dress codes. your a fucking douche. horrible horrible review.... in that case, the stones are a "ska fad." The beatles were a "ska fad." go to scenes like the east bay scene in cali, this might be a fad to a couple assbag 13 yr old girls, and sure it might die out at some point, but just because the strokes and the hives are the only ones on mtv doing it does not mean ppl are going to look back on it like flock of seaguls. those girls are also going to be dropping extacy and listening to "trance jungle dance" music in 4 years. But fuck them that doesnt mean that these bands dont have something new and something with longevity. This is because music is coming to a head and people are sick of the bullshit and just want some rock n roll. if thats ska then fucking shoot me in the head right now. this is pretty damn good rock album. "Walk Idiot Walk" is a Crunk Classic. racism and ignorance don't make a good review. ska was around before garage rock. the swedish also know english just about as well as any of us, if not better. ass. This album is fucking great and everyone who says it sucks has only heard the single and not the rest of the album. Yes, the lame-ass crowds they draw who think "the" bands are great and name drop The White Stripes etc. suck ass. But really, are they any better than the whiny, dorky, pussy crowds that bands like Dashboard Confessional and Taking Back Sunday draw? I think not. If you like real rock music listen to this album, the New Bomb Turks, T(I)NC, Zeke etc....If you like crying in your room by yourself, writing love letters to a girl you don't have a chance in hell of getting, dressing like a jackass and wetting your bed, go listen to Chris Carrabba and Morissey. OK that was supposed to be LOSER, not LOSERS. Forgive me, I'm stoned and high on morphine. "A bunch of lame indy kids with their shirts & ties and fucking jail-bait preppy girls who would name-drop bands like the Strokes & White Stripes in their conversations with each other." i like this album, but agree with the reviewer that your money is better spent with the new bomb turks... now if i can only find my lost copy of pissing out the poison i'll be happy. I saw the Hives in concert just recently and even though the Hives put on a good preformance I couldn't get over the fact on how much the crowd just really sucked. A bunch of lame indy kids with their shirts & ties and fucking jail-bait preppy girls who would name-drop bands like the Strokes & White Stripes in their conversations with each other. Awful review. shitty album buahahahahauahauahauhah |
