Stupid R18 Shows

In the new zealand hardcore/Underground scene there has been a recent increase in bands such as The chase, Antagonist, Brick vs. Face, and more. All this music is great but im Really annoyed right now because whenever these bands put on a show they make the Stupid R18 gigs therefore you cant go and it always ends up that when there all ages gigs your busy and trust me All ages gigs don't come along often. there is a small hassle in making gigs all ages but in the end Bands get more spectators giving them more money in the end so i don't really see why they don,t make every gig all ages ARRRGGGGHH!

Throwdown Vendetta album review

Easily the best sounding Throwdown album yet. The vocals are more clear as are the guitars and bass that rumble in the background. Vendetta is 100% better than Haymaker, and You Don't Have To Be Blood To Be Family, combined! All the songs in this album are intense with hardcore metal riffs that make you headbang without conscience. Vendetta is a must have for all metal lovers.

In general the lyrics are dark. Death, vengeance, burning, hate, pain, uprising, discipline, sacrifices, annihalation, ect. The lyrics are catchy and cause the adrenaline to flow. If you want to listen to songs about any of the keywords above, these lyrics fit that description. Perfect heavy metal lyrics for a perfect heavy metal album!

Overall this Is a great album if your to the more darker heavier side of music.

Rancid Self Titled album

This is a great CD. Rancid is probably one of the least known of the punk revival bands from the early nineties. They have much more of an original punk sound. They sound a lot like Minor Threat and you can tell Minor Threat must have influenced them. The music is very fast(just like Minor Threat). The guitar isn't the most skillful, but that is what made Punk Punk. I also loved how you could really hear the bass.

The singer has a voice that is really fast and hard to understand (just like Minor Threat). Many professional singers or singing instructors would probably think this is a horrible voice, but I love it. I think punk was always different than what is considered proper. I'm not quite sure about the lyrics. They are really hard to understand and I'm not sure what the meaning is.

Like I said earlier, I think Rancid is the most punk group of the nineties. Animosity and It's quite alright are my two favorite songs from the album. I love the voice and the bass. There really isn't anuthing I hate about it.
