The Autokinoton (Greek for ‘self-motivating') hails from Denver, CO and is ‘the’ band to watch out for this next year. The dual guitar assault and rapid-fire bass builds a carefully chaotic harmony beneath the throat tearing gasps of vocalist Joe Triscari. Since comparison is skepticism's bedfellow, imagine Converge and Neurosis locked in a Muay Thai glass-fisted death match while all of heaven's angels weep and the fires of hell boil the sea. Imagine a handheld nuclear bomb encased in a glass bubble; you get to push the button and it detonates with the sound and fury inherent in its atomic make up, as it does nothing to you but inspire long-winded metaphors about bands you think everyone should listen to or at least experience.

These guys came to Traverse City with Planes Mistaken for Stars, Glass and Ashes, and Smoke or Fire. They were really great, I have been telling people to check them out ever since. They also made for a real great band for me to photograph. (If you wish to see photos you can check out http://www.tccellardoor.org/gallery/thumbnails.php?album=27 ...All photos by me, Stacy Folker- if you for some reason want them, ask. pandemoniumxpanda@hotmail.com) "The Autokinoton is the new cool. An underground, uber-DIY band that is destined to go far on hard work alone, think how far they’ll go when people hear their music. " its the cover that was sent to me by shaun. who cares anyway, i'm sure the 12" will be different, having a sex toy fist is pretty sweet anyway, right? Hardcore is fucking dead, white belts are the system, kung fu dancing is the system, chuga chuga is mtv endorced, that shit is for apes, jocks and fashion queens. Thats not the cover of that EP? I thought you were reviewing a new album by them. Is that the cover of the 12" they are putting out? What is that anyway? ian mackayes semen tastes so punk...i lavished it. i meant to post this picture someone mentioned that those autokinofags didn't move on stage... then what is this? poop. and same goes for that dumb kid righting this reveiw. he is dumb ande going bald and he is sad about it. everyone focus on his bald head and not on Conrosisis.shitfuck. balls. that hotwatermusic writerguy, you know the alcoholicguy?? He says balls in that book. That deserves a ten. This bald guy dwho whants to suck ian macgayes cock he is not a writer like that. if he put balls instead of fugazin in his review he would be tubular. I smell fecal sandwiches in the lima bean crevice. mmmmm make mine a horse cock grilled to perfection and throw it in my cornhole for a man of married proportions to get beat up by little kids on the nerd net. Fuck this I am going to go beat my milk stick until threads of hot icing coat the thote. Don't choke on my milk nuckga. I am am on a deserted rock Island with the revenge of the nerds stunt double sniffing BVDs and guzzling my man meal. mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm lick it. Spinal Biff im not fucking gay, i wear girl pants and suck dick! hey xfyiex is that short for FruityYoungInExile HAHAHA!!!! i heard these guys do a bunch of fucked up drugs and cant even play sometimes because they are too stoned and drunk. as far as the rock island fear before the march of flames cd release show. what is the point in critiquing a critique? Is it just so that you can feel relevant because you mention some other shitty online rag? I'm not sure if having the option of posting after reviews serves some intrinsic self absorbed desire but the reality of the matter is that a review is just an opinion, hopefully if the review is favorable it gets the bands some new fans. Maybe those that are semantically challenged and are so focused on a sentence won't be able to see past their own misgivings, or if other people think its cool enough but would a band want a fan like that? some dipshit that gets stuck on a sentence? who the fuck cares? why even post a reply to that reply you ask? because some people need their hands held through even the darkest times like reading reviews about bands they never heard of and won't ever listen to because of one little sentence. Saying a band is "the band to watch this year" is the equivelent of chasing everyone away from reading the rest of the review. I know I dont want to read the rest now. This isnt Pitchfork, thank god. Your not the guiding beacon for the internet music community. Ooh, Chinatown and BSD in a bitch fight. I dunno who I want to lose more! i heard these guys when they toured last year and it was one of the best shows i have ever seen! they're album is lo- fi but is still impressive! if they could get into a studio they could really tear it down. Ohhh, that must be your "macho" side. Since you ask, today I received my order from Relapse, which contained the new Mastodon and Pig Destroyer records. "Based on the live show of this band when they played at Rock island with Fear Before the March of Flames. "Or that scrawny bitch who constantly trashes anything released within the past twenty years, complaining that it's too "polished," then making sure to point out to everyone that so-and-so sounded much more genuine because they had piss-poor sound quality which, consequently, made them much better than today's acts. "The dual guitar assault" Or that scrawny bitch who constantly trashes anything released within the past twenty years, complaining that it's too "polished," then making sure to point out to everyone that so-and-so sounded much more genuine because they had piss-poor sound quality which, consequently, made them much better than today's acts.

"This reviewer sure likes to name-drop Fugazi.... Based on the live show of this band when they played at Rock island with Fear Before the March of Flames. dually noted. This reviewer sure likes to name-drop Fugazi.... I'm sick of post-hardcore. this is the ONLY review of a record coming out today that's been posted |
