TAG: SEEN LIVE

1. A 6am show at the Fireside in Chicago with a free sushi bar.

2. The tightest pants 1998 had to offer.

3. Fun as shit.

New Whores. I’ve listened to nothing but this single song for the last 30 minutes. 

Go buy it, and while you’re at it buy their last album too. It just got a vinyl repress on clear with gold haze. 

There was a time that Milemarker was one of my absolute favorite bands. I always overlooked this song though. Its nearly eleven minutes long and there is no shouting, so I skipped it. But listening to it again (and again as it turns out) its every bit has heavy as anything the band ever did.

I forget sometimes how long Larry Arms has been around. I bought Ghost Stories (the album this song is from) 13 years ago. 

Crazy.

When The River Bed originally came out, I thought it was their sort of lame “soft” record. But now compared the 2011 reunion album, Fell & Found, this thing seems like death metal. 

God, Fell & Found is bad. 

I wasn’t as into the album this song is from (Rotten Thing To Say) when it came out as I was the band’s previous releases. It just didn’t sound the same, so I forgot about. Listening to it again, I think what probably turned me off was that the production (by Kurt Ballou) didn’t sound like shit. 

Listening to the two albums back to back, Songs For Burning Lovers sounds like it was recorded on a boombox. Its still a great album, there is no question about that, but the production can’t touch Rotten Thing To Say.

Go buy things and see them live every chance you get, you will not be disappointed. 

I love how over the top, bombastic, and just damn ridiculous this song is. 

One of my favorite local Detroit bands right now. 

Go see them, the show is fantastic. 

New record from what is easily one of my favorite bands of the last few years.

Sad songs about being a fuck-up, feeling like you’re wasting your life, missing people and not giving up, sung like this is the last chance you’ll ever get.

Unfuckwithable.

I’ve got mixed feelings about the title of Drug Church’s album, “Paul Walker,” but the songs are fantastic. 

Not having posted anything by Fight Amp in the three years I’ve been doing this is a criminal act of negligence. Send in Child Protective Services.

This band just crushes everything. 

Go buy everything they’ve released and go see them every chance you get. 

Don’t ever forget.
