Just saw Black Eyes play on Friday night in DC and am happy to say that it was extremely good. Two new songs were played, each cool, so maybe a new album will come of it all at some point.

v happy this thread is getting posts. will catch up on these in a bit.
I am pretty psyched for this hardcore weekender coming up in March that's got Japanese crasher crust legends Framtid headlining. It's a pretty ridiculous line-up in general but I've seen a lot of the bands before anyway

this is the line-up:

Went to see Armitage Shanks reunion gig tonight. My favourite toilet themed punk band. I love them. Shirts Off is one of my favourite punk songs of all time, esp the version with Billy Childish singing

Gloomy, glowering synth-punk from, of course, Edmonton, Alberta!

really loved that album, especially the title track
def felt more like the beginning of something than a defining work tho

That Home Front album is great

Saw Home Front twice last year. Bought Games of Power a couple of weeks ago but haven't played it yet, I already had mp3s of it though

I am posting because I saw that the Freeze are playing at Rebellion festival this year. I probably won't go to Rebellion festival but this might mean they play a London gig around that weekend. they might not, the thing with US bands playing London gigs around Rebellion festival is that they are always absolutely dead, because most of the people that would go to them are at Rebellion festival. I once saw Channel 3 play to the support band, me and maybe 3 other people at the Dublin Castle. when the Freeze last came over (about 14 years ago I think) I saw them at the Camden Underworld and they cordoned off the main bar because there weren't enough people to open the bar.
Anyway, I love the Freeze, and I hope I get to see them again

I did play my Home Front LP btw. it's obv v derivative and you can play spot the influence esp that Suicide one lol. but they pretty much nail it and they are fun live so I can dig it.

how have I missed all this insanely great Indiana stuff?!?! Mark Winter & Mat Williams and their innumerable aliases, Coneheads, Skull Cult, and this great Abi Ooze from earlier this year

I only heard it this year too. their earlier Hot Liqs is good as well but Life Is Pain Idiot is best

I'm blasting it right now, it's 8:30 AM
― out-of-print LaserDisc edition (sleeve), Sunday, 31 December 2023 16:29 (four months ago) link
oh it's nearly 8:30 here now I just got home and am pretty fucked tbh. I was at a party in Peacehaven so I am listening to Peter & The Test Tube Babies because they have a song about Peacehaven. gotta say I think it must've been quite different in the early 80s. there were no gangs of marauding teenagers. it was quite windy tbf maybe that put them off
