Im thinking these should be passed out black ss shows. Those albany druggers could really use them.
Buffalo hardcore legend LARRY RANSOM made this little documentary on one of my favorite hardcore bands, THE FIRST STEP. It came out pretty awesome and watching that live footage gets me so stoked on hardcore.
A few syracuse HC tidbits I forgot....
BARBAROSSA RECORDS is putting out a 7" by local hc act CULTURE SHOCK. Their record release show is saturday at the allen street house, so get there and check that shit out. Work is fucking it up for me but Im definetly stoked to get that 7" and support that awesome label.
Another record release will be on FRIDAY also at 560 allen st for ELECTION DAY. This will be the demo on 7" format. Again, I wont be able to attend but I look forward to getting that record ASAP.
I read today that the "315 IN RUINS FEST" was cancelled. Im still really not clear as to why, but I guess a few of the HC bands dropped off for another, but that still left plenty of the bar bands and atreyu loving jokesters to play. Sucks for the organizers. A show like that should of been promoted to the battle of the band type ZumieZ/hot topic folks anyways.
Not really HC related, but the toy store FLYING TURTLE out here in gorgeous north syracuse is closing its doors soon, so c'mon out and buy some shit and give pat a little support, he definetly deserves it. (p.s. the wrestling figure section still has some classics superstars and some of those ill rocky lego looking figs)
A FEW REVIEWS:
LIKE WOLVES: Benstrux is my boy. Crucial character to say the least. When I found out he was doing a new band I expected straight up thrash. So needless to say I was a little surprised that the music was a little more involved. Shits still real fast just more intricate guitar work. Usually that turns me off because Im more of a bare bones HC dude but Im diggin this. Hopefully they post lyrics soon as Id love to read them. Dude seems real pissed.
BLAKE INCARCERATED - What the fuck, found these guys on the 315 board so I figured id give them a listen. At first I thought LIFETIME, then I started thinking shit like LAGWAGON. I normally dont listen to shit like this but its not bad at all. Dudes voice gets a little annoying and girl lyrics should be left to MILO but pretty decent. I wouldnt want to see them live (or anyone else in this genre of music) because Id probably wanna off myself, but its cool music to chill too.
TABERNACKLE - Heavy band from RI thats making me kind of nervous. I keep hearing bands bringing back that mid 90s sound. I wish they would stop.
ABILITY - SIIIIICK bass tone. This band kicks ass. Members of VIOLATION, who also rule. Lyrics are your run of the mill (Im definetly not one to talk) but the dudes voice is snotty and awesome. Hopefully they come out to the superior coast soon.
