Now of course I would love to attend this because it's the NoWings To Speak Of lineup, which was their original lineup before they really blew up to the Trustkill/Warped tour fans. I've never been a giant fan of emocore, screamo,emotional hardcore, whatever you may want to call it but these guys always did a superb job playing it live and on recording.Unfortunately they never ended up playing my town, which I tried to book them around 2001/2002, but they always were playing shows in Louisville and Nashville when I would go down to hang out and go to shows.<br />
<br />
From time to time I've been known to poke fun a little of over emotional bands who play live and act like fools crawling around the ground looking like they are about to cry or shit their pants for that matter. Hell their are a million bands now a days doing this but every time I saw this lineup of Hopesfall play live they were truly "emotional." It didn't look like it was rehashed, rehearsed, or fake at all. I remember watching them at Cornerstone and Furnacee Festivals and during their set witnessed a ton of males and females crying out loud. It just floored me that a bands live performance can actually do this to someone. Growing up in the hardcore scene you usually see people put fits to faces not hold their hands in their air and cry. With that not many bands gave me the "goose bump effect" as I like to call it but when I saw Hopesfall play live I can honestly remember two different times getting this feeling. I saw them play with Cave In in Nashville years ago and their bass player used to do back flips of the drum riser in the middle of a song, this was a pretty cool to see for a 19 year old who only listened to traditional punk rock and heavy hardcore. I was so lucky to this classic lineup perform so many times in Louisville, Nashville, Furnace Fest, and Corner Stone Festival. So I'm not to bummed out I can't make it to the reunion show.<br />

I always thought this band had a sound at the time that went against what was popular in the early 00's and late 90's hardcore community. When metalcore was growing and Hatebreeds cloans were everywhere these guys were playing melodic hardcore that was influenced by bands like Hum, Promise Ring, Frodus, and Mineral. I thought everything they released was great but this E.P. They really did a good job of creating a sound that didn't have your normal verses, chorus, and bridges laid into it. Which was very apparent in emo/indy rock and in a lot of generic hardcore at the time. More than anything this E.P. had a Hum like quality which I thoroughly enjoyed. It always reminded me if Hum was playing hardcore music in shitty basement wearing flannel which is a odd analogy. Their guitar Ryan created the perfect blend of soft and emotional singing over Doug the vocalist ruff and aggressive screams on each track of this recording.<br />
They really defined the future genre of emocore, or whatever you want to call it. This recording has a very beautiful spacy yet aggressive sound that a lot of bands could never nail and still cant. After this E.P. was released everyone quit the band but their guitar player Josh and their future recordings never sounded the same.<br />
<br />
I urge anyone to give this E.P. a listen and if you're a fan of them try to make it out to the reunion shows next month. I would love to attend but I'm sure I would be the only person from my city driving to N.C.<br />

There were a hand full of bands who did it well and many that were just plain awful.I guess my reasoning behind this was the overkill of bands, riffs, and kids that jocked this band. It took me a few years to realize that N.W. wasn't amazing as they were respected for and I think this was caused by the reality brick that hit me the head that told me, "No Warning is just repackaging version of Breakdown spread up." It's shocking I didn't realize it years ago but of course I wasn't in love with the band Breakdown in 2001. I still enjoys everything N.W put out from the demo to the last album they recorded. Hearing the ill blood album any times spark my memory of good times at shows and friends over the years, that's for sure.<br /><br />I stumbled upon this documentary that I must have forget about over the last year or two.I have no idea who released this and the background behind it but it's basically ex members and some respected punk/hardcore individuals talking about the ill blood record. It's put together pretty pore so there not point of me giving you a review of it. Just watched it and come up with your own assumption of it.Lee Actionhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12693384629731706817noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19812696.post-72951177821380462992011-07-20T09:52:00.001-07:002011-07-20T11:07:22.856-07:00A new beginning<div>Over the last few years I haven't been much of a blogger, I just haven't feelt the need to do it and i'm sure the blow up of social networking really took away from my interst to blog. Things have changed a lot over the last 3 to 4 years with my completion of college, not touring, playing in bands, or booking shows anymore. So I thought to myself this morning, randomly of course, I think I want to start this blog back up again.</div><div> </div><div>How much I will update is the questions, I can't even give you a answer to that one, but I will try to keep this more active then i have years prior. I will keep what's going on in my personal life to a minimum and try to keep this focused on my love for music and other tid bits of things I enjoy in life. I'm sure I will still have awful grammer because I never feel the need to spell check or proof read, so bash me on that.</div><div> </div><div><br /><br>...and yes I'm still straight edge, I still go to shows, and I still enjoy hardcore, punk, metal. Unlike a lot of my old friends I haven't turned into the early 30 year old hipster who turned his back on the subculture that pretty much help mold the man I am today.</div>Lee Actionhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12693384629731706817noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19812696.post-48173264262600388482009-04-27T11:36:00.000-07:002009-04-27T11:41:56.285-07:00Chi town here I come...<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjfEF7tw6eDnGqFO2AmQvkdihrrwQUAYUTF4mhAZUgPUgtEMwsGjtPVev0kY71KfdjXBpR-9PKqOa3XBqXf9wQr7RmV7HRzkofr3PT45ld-Af80Gu2h2koDW1wf6ZNy2a4htL1p/s1600-h/makeoutclub-unbroken_reunion_1.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 394px; height: 262px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjfEF7tw6eDnGqFO2AmQvkdihrrwQUAYUTF4mhAZUgPUgtEMwsGjtPVev0kY71KfdjXBpR-9PKqOa3XBqXf9wQr7RmV7HRzkofr3PT45ld-Af80Gu2h2koDW1wf6ZNy2a4htL1p/s400/makeoutclub-unbroken_reunion_1.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5329442132162706946" border="0" /></a><span style="font-size:85%;">6 more days and I get to witness this band and a few more amazing ones at the Burning Fight Book release show in Chicago this coming weekend, I'm pretty excited about it.<br /><br /></span><center><span style="color: rgb(255, 153, 0);font-size:85%;" ><a herf="http://www.burningfightbook.com">BurningFightBook.com</a></span><center><br /></center></center>Lee Actionhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12693384629731706817noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19812696.post-7209209036795959332009-03-28T00:10:00.000-07:002009-03-28T00:22:32.890-07:00Where The Wild Things Are<object width="425" height="264"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/--N9klJXbjQ&hl=en&fs=1"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/--N9klJXbjQ&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="264"></embed></object><br /><span style="font-size:85%;">I haven't been this excited about a movie in ages, my al</span><span style="font-size:85%;">l time favorite book as a child called "<span style="font-weight: bold;">Where the </span></span><span style="font-weight: bold;font-size:85%;" >Wild Things Are</span><span style="font-size:85%;">"</span><span style="font-weight: bold;font-size:85%;" > </span><span style="font-size:85%;">by Maurice Sendak is coming out as a full length feature movie and set for release this fall.<br /><br /></span><span style="font-size:85%;"></span><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh56aF2OxwLpyBdxIUmQvoPKGztZlJR0hWkMC_dWWrwsQsSl-GV-bEmZw24Z80egxyUXufw-eXcR2jAdwN1oeIh1ZGNif5hjcV9A0KBepvQsNu25S1X31Rodvwy9RTf9iWJjAO8/s1600-h/Where_The_Wild_Things_Are.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 355px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh56aF2OxwLpyBdxIUmQvoPKGztZlJR0hWkMC_dWWrwsQsSl-GV-bEmZw24Z80egxyUXufw-eXcR2jAdwN1oeIh1ZGNif5hjcV9A0KBepvQsNu25S1X31Rodvwy9RTf9iWJjAO8/s400/Where_The_Wild_Things_Are.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5318134614416018322" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="font-size:85%;">The book tells the story of Max, who one evening plays ar</span><span style="font-size:85%;">ound his home, "making mischief" in a wolf costume by chasing the dog with a fork and growling at his mom.

It's had some of the most interesting and heavy riffs I have heard from any hardcore or metal bands rolling out in 1995. The only thing really hardcore about this album is the breakdowns and some of the vocal delivery but most of it is just heavy grooved out metal that will throw you for a curve ball with the riffs this band can spit out. Though some of Boby Riley vocal patterns blow me away espically on the 2nd track..Murder of Life the way he flows over some of the drum beats and guitar riffs are mind blowing, its very interesting to listen to this album from a singer standpoint because he some really cool things. Some of the songs could honestly put Slayer, Hatebreed, and even Merauder too shame in the hardness dept., the entire album feels like a ten ton hammer crashing down on your house.<br /><br />Not a lot of bands around the late 90's where putting out hardcore like this espically in 1995 it was probably to heavy for most, their song structure really made them stick out but it still shocks me they never were that popular then and still aren't today.You can shoot me if you like but I find this album almost equally good to Merauders classic "Master Killer" album, too me it's 10x more pissed off sounding.<br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQb7IjOoxTIvlBiAvYpXKdwJNFYQ2gRF-oNuZK_IXjAJjI7m9fiZ_bBBee34NbU8XHCEQRJxcQ4qgVE_m_h_P-28bjg9utazz5jJmZtfRY4gkh4XMwGj820cUQlr4ax30BK73D/s1600-h/dm8u2q.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 165px; height: 165px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQb7IjOoxTIvlBiAvYpXKdwJNFYQ2gRF-oNuZK_IXjAJjI7m9fiZ_bBBee34NbU8XHCEQRJxcQ4qgVE_m_h_P-28bjg9utazz5jJmZtfRY4gkh4XMwGj820cUQlr4ax30BK73D/s320/dm8u2q.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5295892015283333362" border="0" /></a><br /></span><span style="font-weight: bold;font-family:arial;font-size:100%;" >Stigmata</span><span style=";font-family:arial;font-size:100%;" > - "</span><span style="font-style: italic;font-family:arial;font-size:100%;" >Hyms from a Unkown God</span><span style=";font-family:arial;font-size:100%;" >"<br />[Too Damn Hype Records : 1995]<br /><a style="font-weight: bold;" href="http://www.mediafire.com/?xpxy2mzzmwm">DOWNLOAD</a><br /><br />1.

If you are person that can look past the religious side of this band then I think you will be impressed, "The Road Less Traveled" really stands the test of time as one solid 90's hardcore album. The recording is very evil, powerful, and dark sounding well at least for a christian band I guess. "The Road Less Traveled" was their second and final full-length for R.E.X. Records, released in 1996 right around the time the label apparently went out of business, thus kicking off </span><span style=";font-family:arial;font-size:100%;" >the unfortunate dissolution of the band. While their early work was more "chugga" oriented, and thier work on "The Road Less Traveled" is melodic, developed, and darker. It really brings a strong match up with one of my favorite Integrity albums "<span style="font-style: italic;">System Overload</span>". The vocals are intense and the song writing as your usual early heavy 90's hardcore vibe, it a little less metal and stick to more of a slighlty melodic feel at times. It's got plenty of slow head jolting riffs </span><span style=";font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:100%;" >and a serious penchant for hooks. And the hoarse vocals carry enough power to dishevel the head of even the most fastidiously coiffed screamo nerd, </span><span style=";font-family:arial;font-size:100%;" > hell even listening to the instrumental track on the album gave me chills when I was younger. </span><span style=";font-family:arial;font-size:100%;" >This is one of the hardest christian hardcore and just straight up hardcore albums I've ever heard when I was younger so give it a shot.<br /></span><span style=";font-family:arial;font-size:100%;" ><br />I've been trying to get a post up on this band for years and I finally rememberd and had the time to do it so please give this album a listen. You can't find their music in print anywhere but checking amazon.com and ebay their are still tons of the CD format of this record around.

It was hard to narrow down everything to ten albums and I'm sure I'll get some shit for not putting up the new<span style="font-style: italic;"> Trash Talk</span>, <span style="font-style: italic;">Cursed</span>, <span style="font-style: italic;">Terror</span>, or <span style="font-style: italic;">Trap Them</span> albums up on my list but oh well, they are awesome albums but not my all time favorites. <a href="http://www.blogger.com/http" com="" gojira="">Gojira</a> and <a href="http://www.myspace.com/rottensound">Rotten Sounds</a> probably put out the best 2 metal related albums of the year. On the lighter side of things I really fell in love with the new <a href="http://www.blogger.com/www.myspace.com/jameshuntermusic">James Hunter</a> album "<span style="font-style: italic;">The Hard Way</span>" and Icelandic's <a href="http://www.myspace.com/emilianatorrini">Emilina Torrini</a> album "<span style="font-style: italic;">Me and Armini</span>" where some of the smoothest stuff I've heard in ages. Hell even the new <a href="http://www.blogger.com/www.myspace.com/rem">R.E.M</a> album really grabbed my attention and I lost hope in that band a few years back. I've been quite addicted to a lot of instrumental/post-rock & metal/electronic albums and there a ton of great stuff that was released this year but <a href="http://www.myspace.com/russiancircles">Russian Circles</a>, <a href="http://www.myspace.com/armsandsleepers">Arms and Sleepers</a>, and <a href="http://www.myspace.com/godisanastronaut">God is Astronaut</a> and the heavy post-metal AZ band <a href="http://www.myspace.com/north">North</a> took the cake in that department for me.<br /><br />I found out this year that there was almost as many amazing E.P's then full lengths albums so I did my best to put together a solid 10 without putting any E.P's into the list minus the T.U.I album. and of course these albums aren't really in any important order, just 10 albums that blew my mind this year. <a href="http://www.blogger.com/www.myspace.com/thefirststep">The First Step's</a> final E.P really fucking surprised me and of course <a href="http://www.blogger.com/www.myspace.com/officialjesu">Jesu</a> will always when me over.

I'm shocked into took me so long to actually give this band a chance since they have been out solid release since 2000. <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isis_%28band%29">Isis</a> is working on a new album and I'm more excited then ever...<br /></span><br /><blockquote style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"><span style="font-size:85%;">Isis are currently tracking their new album with producer Joe Barresi (Queens Of The Stone Age, Clutch) and had the following to say about their progress:<br />"Well, so far, so good! We're a little over half way done tracking our new record. It's nice to hear the songs beginning to really come together. Everyone has been doing a great job and we think it's all going to make for one hell of a record. Working with Joe has been a really cool experience. He has a great ear, provides a very comfortable and creative environment, and seems to really understand what we're after."<br />In addition, the band are moving ahead with a "Live V" CD which will feature their entire live performance of their "Oceanic" album from a past installment of the "All Tomorrows Parties" festival. The group had originally planned to release the set as a live DVD, but felt the video footage wasn't up to their standards. In turn, the audio from the set will be mixed by Justin Broadrick of Jesu, Godflesh, etc. fame for a future release.</span></blockquote><center><a href="http://www.blogger.com/www.isistheband.com">isistheband.com</a><br /><a href="http://www.myspace.com/sgnl05">www.myspace.com/sgnl05</a></center><br /><object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/rWjhxnVcmgg&color1=0xb1b1b1&color2=0xcfcfcf&hl=en&fs=1"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/rWjhxnVcmgg&color1=0xb1b1b1&color2=0xcfcfcf&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>Lee Actionhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12693384629731706817noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19812696.post-22263412052514698522008-11-13T16:37:00.000-08:002008-11-13T16:39:19.491-08:00Davey & Ceremony<object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/3Z1hYhrGdOc&hl=en&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/3Z1hYhrGdOc&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object><br /><center>Well, I guess Davey Havok still has it.<br />I miss old A.F.I</center>Lee Actionhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12693384629731706817noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19812696.post-1453526620434220762008-11-10T10:13:00.000-08:002008-11-10T13:52:31.947-08:00Sneakers<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhugFKpsLMtYyIExeY3bE9uxOkh2CQyU8ohtXvgVekgjl7CHF4vigpLXtjqXnwyU-W11nCf5A11kCCP5Llp_AjUeV8s_Vx7yiEevARnBmj4l2G5ugnGb7frkQhN7oP54sbeK3Qu/s1600-h/b761_1.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5267094141617040178" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: pointer; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhugFKpsLMtYyIExeY3bE9uxOkh2CQyU8ohtXvgVekgjl7CHF4vigpLXtjqXnwyU-W11nCf5A11kCCP5Llp_AjUeV8s_Vx7yiEevARnBmj4l2G5ugnGb7frkQhN7oP54sbeK3Qu/s400/b761_1.JPG" border="0" /></a><span style="font-size:85%;">I'm not a huge shoe collector or shoe junkie but on occasion I like a cool style of shoe to put on my feet.

We crashed at his house at that evening and I remember him tossing around the band No Justice in some random conversations we had. He showed me some type of magazine add that had of the singer modeling some GAP clothes then threw on the 7inch' for me. The pictures of this kid and then listening to hear him scream his lungs off totally didn't mash up but I was floored when I heard what was coming out of the speakers.<br /><br />No Justice hailed from Virginia/D.C.. They existed for an all too short time in the late 90's, recording a demo and 7inch from what I know, I think they had some songs on a comp but I'm not totally sure. I don't know where the members went to or what bands they did time in before NJ, but I know the small songs they released is classic hardcore for the time era they were active.<br /><br />The 7inch came out on the Chicago label Underestimated around 1999 and it's piled full of immense energy and what seemed an unending desire to destroy self & stage alike, the band tore apart everything- bolted down or not. </span><span style="font-size:85%;">They have a very early minor threat sound into a pissed off youth crew type sound. If you enjoy any 80's style of hardcore punk you will enjoy No Justice. </span><span style="font-size:85%;">Many No Justice stories have been told like singer Timmy running about screaming into a megaphone, ripping instruments out of band members hands, and just general mayhem something I was never lucky to see. I believe the band was together from about 1999/98 to 2001 and it's a bummer they were such short lived.... enjoy.<br /><br />Here is a interview in 200 with NJ: <a href="http://bareboneshardcore.blogspot.com/2005/05/interview-no-justice.html">Bare bones hardcore Blog</a><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjG2CNCu6HJrVPIeWkZd8W-zADVdF14v_E4uP1zwO3SPhYjxsrA3PX7tkm9DZSTDL4Ks6zVSvdyyglDyfAirYE1wtIn8bYONFD-HMA19r-rE9FmrzXqnb4G2Fd7hLvhtRE7Mvpk/s1600-h/11207.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 149px; height: 149px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjG2CNCu6HJrVPIeWkZd8W-zADVdF14v_E4uP1zwO3SPhYjxsrA3PX7tkm9DZSTDL4Ks6zVSvdyyglDyfAirYE1wtIn8bYONFD-HMA19r-rE9FmrzXqnb4G2Fd7hLvhtRE7Mvpk/s320/11207.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5261516694507772466" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">No Justice</span> - "<span style="font-style: italic;">Still Fighting</span>"<br />(</span><span style="font-size:85%;">Underestimated Records/1999)</span><br /><span style="font-size:85%;"><a style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 0, 0);" href="http://www.mediafire.com/?mcbewimnz1k">DOWNLOAD</a><br /><br />1.

It's the 2nd largest street festival in the United States and has been hosted for over 50 years I believe. If you are into weird,crazy,nasty, and amazing white trash American fried food this is the place for you. They have everything from deep fried twinkies too crawfish and everything in between.

I don't think they received much success af</span><span style="font-size:85%;">ter this but this album really is great. They song writing is done well and its a very basic post-hardcore/emo style that a lot of us said we hated but some how still love when we hear something original now or from that time period. It's very straight forward rocked out post-hardcore with very catchy song structure, majority of the lyrics about girls or relationship but singer/songwriter Kristopher vocal patterns make this album more catchy then half the records that where coming out during this time period.<br /><br />A friend referred this album to me not so long ago because they told me "</span><span style="font-style: italic;font-size:85%;" >It sounds a lot like Quicksand</span><span style="font-size:85%;">", of course I jumped on it to </span><span style="font-size:85%;">give a listen and really fell in love with this record.
