HARDCORE SAVED MY LIFE

[constant struggle]

the banner is pretty cool, their newer stuff is a lot better than the middle of the road kinda stuff

their old stuff is the best

all the dudes in the banner are not metalcore broz, they are down /w the core

the banner is a good nj hardcore band.

[knox]

agreed^ the banners always fun live too

[oxas]

dude the banner is sick, but i would agree they do notttt fit the bill of that show at all

[constant struggle]

uh they def fit the bill

this is new jersey

they play shows like that all the time here

[LetsGetSerious]

For once Im going to agree with Constant Struggle. I saw the Banner in July, they opened for Ringworm and were solid and fit on a true hardcore bill just fine. Theyre just not jocked to high hell, so people dont get it.

[julianREE]

two words. lewd acts.

BITCH PLEASE.

[sean_]

band rules, saw some pics from the first show of this tour theyre on now, playing on the sidewalk? looked mental. i missed them last time they were in town but i heard it killed

When you say "jocked"...do you mean "bro'd up"...or just people don't make it a point to suck dick as soon as they are mentioned/get on stage?

[LetsGetSerious]

I mean they arent touring with bands like Trash Talk and Reign Supreme and Ceremony so people dont really mention their name. Their merch doesnt fetch ridiculous prices on eBay, so half of the people who come to shows arent interested.

[heBAY]

Got it...the latter. I thought you somehow invented some new slang for "thick-necked" bro-core (my current favorite descriptive terms).

[LetsGetSerious]

"thick-necked" bro-core

amazing. 10 char

I Hate Everyone, And Every Fucking Thing

This Is My War

[sean_]

I Hate Everyone, And Every Fucking Thing

This Is My War

late pass. who doesn't like ceremony nowadays..

[Tazer]

late pass. who doesn't like ceremony nowadays..

how do you not? they're amazing

ive been really psyched on the new Killing The Dream lately

American Nightmare and Cursed will always be my favorite

[julianREE]

i didn't say i didn't like them.. i'm just saying that everyone already loves ceremony no use in bringing it up unless theres a legitimate update on them..

[oxas]

i was just listening to them is all. felt like sharing my angurs.

life long tragedy broke up. discuss?

[bencap]

seriously, blank stare

seriously

yessss

straaaaaaaaaaaaaiiiiiighhhtt eddggge

only edge band i can take seriously, just because theyre so fucking good.

[Darkeside]

life long tragedy broke up. discuss?

who/why?

Edit - links to Blank Stare?

[sean_]

llt broke up like, a few months ago i think.

blank stare apparently try to stay off the internet as much as possible, no myspace or anything. there is a blog (incredibly infrequently updated) that has a few songs, i think they just or are just putting out their full length now... if it's anything like the rest of their stuff its worth buying without a doubt.

http://blankstarehc.blogspot.com/

get the fuck out of my scene, get the fuck out of my town, and keep fuckin walking... straight fuckin edge

they're like, the angriest edge dudes ive ever heard.

[oxas]

yeah they broke up like 2 months ago. such a good band

[Darkeside]

thanks for the link Sean_ would + if i could.

[julianREE]

they're like, the angriest edge dudes ive ever heard.

FORCE OF CHANGE? HEAVIEST EDGE BAND PERIOD. AND THE HARDEST. SO FUCKING HARD (8).

i dunno can't take edge bands seriously, all the lyrics are just cheesy to me.. even have heart, but they have variety so i can dig them a little more.

and i'm actually bummed llt broke up. they were a local band, so i saw them quite often around the area.

[Guest]

definitely been on a hardcore kick lately...ruiner, shook ones, ceremony, bane, judgement, and total fury. didn't save my life but it definitely makes it good to listen to

[bencap]

i won't miss LLT for a second :]

harm's way is angrier edge than blank stare. but definetely cheesier and shittier. bro-beatdown at it's finest, but thats not saying much.

[sistersuzie]

Wrecking Crew and Poison Idea for me lately

[sistersuzie]

Suicidal Tendencies

[oxas]

Suicidal Tendencies

in that vein, S.S decontrol.. thats the way.

do we have a crust thread on sufu? late 80's crust is the way to go Electro hippies, extreme noise terror, nausea, disrupt ect.

Thank you for further perpetuating the use of my single most favorite term in referencing that type of hardcore.

Ha I was going to say that...been listening to the Taste of Fear/Disrupt split, a few Nausea joints ("Electrodes" off of the Murders Among Us comp), and some other goodies from the crustier side of planet-hardcore-punk.

That being said, I've definitely been on a hometown kick (and I guess NJ...1-2 from across the waters)...whether it's the usual ABC No Rio culprits (do I really need to mention names again?)...to the Cro Mags demo, Leeway, Beyond...Life's Blood, Absolution, Burn...jeez. I also have to add Monster X and Black Army Jacket (especially the latter). There's probably some more but I'm not in the best state of mind to remember at the moment.
