To be fair regarding all that running in place idiocy, it just reminds me of the bit in the MC5 documentary with the film clips of them doing synchronized high kicks on stage at the height of their White Pantheresque days.

btw this sounds exactly like every other screamo band that's around right now, nothing new to see here. search other awful bands as underoath, the devil wears prada, etc

wait, underoath and the devil wears prada include hi-nrg synth moves in their songs too? maybe i should give those bands another chance.
― scott seward, Tuesday, 16 June 2009 16:53 (fourteen years ago) link
These guys sound nothing like Underoath (not that I'm mounting a defense of either, btw) and only a little like Devil Wears Prada. Actually I think these goofs make TDWP look like frickin' Coalesce by comparison.

musically the first minute isn't so bad, overused autotune effect aside.
the eurodance breakdown at the end is hilarious

I love how the keyboard player isn't plugged into anything, no power, no cords to the amp, nothing.
I also love how the kid walks in right as the trance synth kicks in. Not only will the other kids not let you in to the show, but when you do finally sneak in it turns out that they were all going to see Aqua.

So I had to stop by the mall to pick up something for my wife and decided to stop in Hot Topic. Don't laugh, its one of the few brick and mortar stores in my area that regularly carries Century Media and Nuclear Blast releases. ANYWAY. Brokencyde and Attack Attack were everyfuckingwhere. I mean, they had AT LEAST 30 copies of each and tshirts tshirts tshirts. Apparently this is most definitely a THING.

this entire thread can be summed up thusly
BrokeNCYDE single vond ik leuk op een debiele manier, Hollywood Undead had ook een paar aardige singles. Attack Attack! is waardeloos. Beste van het stel is wat mij betreft HORSE the Band met heel veel voorsprong.

Not sure that tearing apart, line by line, an illiterate guy talking about being clinically depressed is a particularly good look on that website's part, tbh.

and all this time I thought Stick Stickly was some brilliant Tim & Eric style parody, this is great(seriously though I hate websites that try to add "humorous commentary" to something that's already funny when all they can write is "uhhh...what?" and "nice grammar, lol")

the commentary is indeed more hateful and irksome than anything that Attack Attack guy wrote. Sure he can't write for toffee, but the journo's writing and overall "HAR HAR HAR LOOK AT THIS GUY, HE CAN'T EVEN PUT A SENTENCE TOGETHER WHAT A MORAN" is about as entertaining as a rusty nail. Considering one is the bass player in a shit post-emo band and the other tries to pass himself off as a writer, I'm struggling to work out who comes off worst.

on the same level as Oatmeal guy's response to the Gawker article, though at least in that situation both participants can take care of themselves rather than being "lol crabcore guy no write good".
