Thanks for clearing that up Dave, I knew Jared was in the band but offhand I couldn't remember if someone else from Get Bent was too.

I will hopefully be at the show tomorrow if my sinus infection clears up. I REALLY want to see you guys (Thousandaires).

Some clearing up.

thousandaires (recession-proof indie/punk!)

Oh and Blackjaw dude, don't know if you realized but Yo Man, Go! is done too.

I'm gonna disagree, I think Face Mush is Get Bent's BEST song... and I find it funny that you consider Thousandaires a better band when half of Get Bent is in that band too.

For the record, I love the Thousandaires demo though.

Thousandaires, The Ruining, Arms Aloft, The Anchor, Aspirations, Castevet, Hawks and Doves, Over Stars and Gutters, The Cold Beat, Wormburner, Halfway To Hell Club, Above Them, Yo Man Go!, etc. to name... most of them.

Kinda true. I think Get Bent is better than the Ruining, Castevet and Arms Aloft, though -- both of whom I've reviewed before. Castevet will probably change that with their full-length, though.

Thousandaires is pretty great. They're only "overlooked" because they've played like one show and the demo's only three songs. Plus they've only really been publicized on If You Make It and here.

I've also reviewed the Anchor and Halfway to Hell Club. I'll probably review that Hawks and Doves 7" soon, too.

i love get bent, the demo was great, i will have to buy this. I also miss potboiler, i did a show for them and lemuria in olean ny. They were really cool dudes

Sorry about the "overrated" comment, it came out wrong. I was just trying to say I wish those other bands got as much 'press' (for lack of better word) as Get Bent. I listen to the demo a few times a week and enjoy it, it's good 'walking to school' music. See what do I know, I'm still in high school.

What the shit? When did they break up? And they're not "overrated" at all, but they are damn good.

yeah we're done.

and for people who don't think we're "overrated", thanks.

Ugh... sorry.

The Get Bent song is their worst so far, and I think that band's a bit overrated. There are many "less than 10 songs to their name" bands around right now that are far better, but get little recognition. Thousandaires, The Ruining, Arms Aloft, The Anchor, Aspirations, Castevet, Hawks and Doves, Over Stars and Gutters, The Cold Beat, Wormburner, Halfway To Hell Club, Above Them, Yo Man Go!, etc. to name... most of them.

Jean Claude Jam Band's song, on the other hand, is great. I have their split with The Serious Geniuses and those 2 songs are also great.

Their bass player told me they were over (he's also in Jonesin' and was in Down In The Dumps). He said the demo will be pressed as a 7" and they have another 5 songs that will go up as a free digital download.

Can someone please set it straight. Is Get Bent over?

I ordered this. Really stoked to hear it. I loved the Get Bent demo.
