I leave in a week for Tour with Foundation and Forfeit, I'm pretty glad and fortunate to be going. My mind is so tangled up right now, I just need to get away with some friends and seethe rest of this country I live in. 7.14 through 7.20 will be with Verse and Have Heart, so that should be a great time. Killing Time is also playing the Philly show so that'll be cool too, cantwait to head to Geno's and eat me a good cheesesteak, hopefully i'll be able to say whats up to my uncle too. Im pretty excited about seeing Boston, Chicago, Cali, Tijuana and just driving across the country. I have a court date August 11th that im trying to move, hopefully it'll happen, if not i'll just have to fly back. Im glad that im going and all, but I wish I didn't feel like I have to go or my head will explode here. All my friends that I grew up with our caught up in something and the thing I've been caught up with decided we need to end for good. Im kinda glad though, she's happy and I can go on with life. Ok im gonna quit talking about I want to take a second to talk about Crown of Thornz and Fury of Five, oddly enough Mentally Vexed and At War with the World have been keeping me sane. I've always liked these records but lately more than ever, Juggernaut is still one of the hardest ever in my opinion, and stickman is still horrifying and awesome to listen to. Still waiting the day for a Band to cover Juggernaut so I can kill somebody, or even myself.
Records that have come out this year that I have enjoyed;
Have Heart - Songs to Scream at the Sun
I think the record's awesome, it was surprisingly short, but still awesome. I feel like its slower and more melodic, so of course I'm into it. Favorite songs on the record are "Pave Paradise" and "Brotherly Love."
Trapped Under Ice - Stay Cold
Hit that Crown of Thornz feel right on the money, so stoked for this band. Aggressive NYHC, my favorite. Im glad a band like this is doing things. Sucks they're van got broken into in Europe. Favorite song on the record is Street Lights. Mosh Mosh Mosh.
Verse - Aggression
This record is sooooooo good, way better than I thought it would be. It's gotten more political which is good. I hope this record doesn't get overlooked, it's hard for a band to put out 3 solid LP's so I hope this record gets what it deserves. Favorite songs on the record are "Scream" and "Sons and Daughters"
Blacklisted - Heavier than Heaven Lonelier than God
God damn, I've been waiting for Blacklisted to put out an LP and it was well worth the wait, I remember when "I am Weighing Me Down" came out and people were complaining, yeah its not like the demo or our youth is wasted, but its still fucking good. I like it when bands change like Blacklisted did, it just makes me feel like they matured in how they wanted to write music.
Shipwreck - Abyss
Each song makes me want to kill somebody, good job.
