Rufio Posted December 24, 2001 Share Posted December 24, 2001 well im just really bored so heres the xth punk update, which will undoubtedly not be appreciated by many, so what. band of the week: the june spirit these guys are the bees knees man, totally rad 80's style (ok not really 80's but hell that vernacular was wikked cool yo!) they are from new jersy (why does the east coast get all of the great emerging artists!!) and they are an exceptional 5 piece indie/pop/rock/punk/ basically their own thing band. they have a toally unique sound and have put out two albums/eps to date. their demo which you can get off of mp3.com and treat me like someone else which you can grab at any local indie shop or what ever you guys call 'good' record stores the guys are all really nice and many of them hang out around the starting line message board, particularly dave. their site is pretty nifty too, check it out here song of the week: over it - ninetysix breaklights i cannot stop listening to this song, its over it's best imho, and it is just too good to turn off! take a listen if you can find it on any one of those wanna be file sharing programs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snootch Posted December 24, 2001 Share Posted December 24, 2001 The June Spirit is good. i listened few songs and i'm going to listen more. Too bad i couldn't find that over it - ninetysix breaklights Thanks for these bands anyway. btw. What kind of music is "Emo". I know it's close to punk but i'm not 100% sure. I'm still wannabe-punk you know Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

End. a common misconception emo is a term that was deemed to fit the post hardcore revolution during the late eighties, in all actuality true emo bands are nothing like the pseudo emo bands people think of today. they are not the nfg's or the rufio's out there. they are bands like fugazi, jawbreaker and the like. for some reason people decided to call any band that sings about chicks an emo band, which is wrong, because they are all mostly pop bands (yeah nfg is a pop/punk band focusing mostly on pop, but i dont care like some close minded people out there' honestly though, its just another lable out there, and i really hate lables, but thats another story.

Snootch Posted December 29, 2001 Share Posted December 29, 2001 Originally posted by Bobbin old blink 182 Why everyone likes old blink 182? (I've heard many people say that besides bobbin) In my opinion it sucks. Even though i've never been a blink 182 fan, i like their new style better. It's more melodic and generally sounds better. btw. Have they changed their drummer? In their two newest records the drummings sounds much more complicated than in the older ones.

the_xxxxx Posted December 29, 2001 Share Posted December 29, 2001 They still have the same drummer, Travis or something. I once thought Blink was the coolest band, but now I don't really like 'em anymore. The vocals on First Date are really annoying. BTW Couple of weeks ago, I was gonna DL "Sure Shot" by the Beasty Boys, but I accidently got "Sure Shot" by Yellowcard. Anyone know this group?

murta Posted December 29, 2001 Share Posted December 29, 2001 1) No they don't have the same drummer. The old drummer was called Scott and you can learly see him in the M&Ms, Josie and Dammit videos 2) Travis is a much better drummer because he uses alot of styles from many countries 3) Old Blink was better (well, IMO Dude Ranch was the best album and Buddha and Chesire Cat had some great songs. Enemea of the State was ok but it just got more and more poppy) 4) All of Tom's singing is annoying, but fits well with some songs (Josie, Pathetic, Anthem Part 2 etc.) 5) They better release Anthem Part 2 as a single soon, we might as well get one half-decent song from TOYPAJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
