Dvd

Borat: If you haven't seen this movie and you aren't easily offended, rent it now...

Fast Food Nation: Worth a rent if not only for the fact that bruce willis is in it. It's very heavy handed but worth a view regardless.

Let's Go to Prison: Bob Odenkirk's directorial debut. I was a lil dissapointed, but still worth a watch.

Southpark Season 9: has the Ginger Kids episode... If you must own a southpark season, this one was pretty solid.

Total Chaos: 17 Years Of Chaos

Modern life is war

Modern Life Is War is a hardcore band in the sense that fugazi is a hardcore band. They almost never do the double time beat. They singer screams in way that sounds like he really means what he's saying, but not fake to sound tough or snotty. I would say it's accessable to people who don't listen to hardcore. I listen to the album "witness" once a week.

Good news for fans...

First and foremost we are proud to announce that we have signed to Equal Vision Records. We will be recording our third album during the month of April at the Magpie Cage in Baltimore with J. Robbins. It will be out in late summer or early fall of this year. We will continue working with Lifeline Records and they will be releasing the vinyl LP version of our new album on the same day. The layout will feature artwork by an Iowa man of mystery who goes by the name Qojak. We will keep you updated on the details as they come.

Well, J. Robbins could make hootie and the blowfish sound good. Nuff said. Release date is 9/4/07 .

I just came up on an advance of the new Poison the Well album "Versions"

I was checking the oink top 10 today and was pleasantly surprised to find a leak of the new PTW album "versions". After an initial listen I must say it's the most unique album of theirs so far.

It has electric piano and lots of mellow stuff. Gone are the riff riff chugga chugga breakdowns and it now has a kind of Hope Conspiracy and American Nightmare feel too it with maybe a little bit of the Converge's "You Fail Me" album feel as well. So strange...

Gone also is the clean whiney singing and the outright growls back an forth. Don't get me wrong, there is clean singing and screaming, but the vocal style has changed up a TON.

Here is a fan video of them doing Smashing Pumpkins "Today"



And here is the video for "botchula"...

[MUSIC] Champion too release a dvd of their final show.

Champion was a really awesome hardcore band from seattle. Very traditional sounding and super damn good and very positive. While hardcore may not be very technical compared to metal, I find that metal is often very negative with their lyrics and it's nice to hear uplifting music with high energy.

Apparently they have a dvd of their last show coming out, you know I'll be copping it.

[MUSIC]Converge Previews!!!!

Converge has posted a highlights track from their new album "no heroes". I saw them about a week or 2 ago and they played 3 new songs from the new album and they sounded like a mix between Jane doe and You fail me. Jake Bannon looks amazing in person. After the show was over there was a guy handing out converge stickers and he actually gave one to the bassist. Twas funny to see.
