Desperate Times

It's been incredibly hot lately, it's almost unbearable at times. A couple days ago it was 45 degrees (113 if you don't get Celsius) Summers are violently hot and winters are bitterly cold.... i need to move.



I got the new Allegiance LP in the mail a few days ago, This record is pretty harsh, if you liked "Overlooked" in any way whatsoever you'll dig "Desperation".

I also won Insted's "We'll Make The Difference" 7" with gold print, I'm pretty sure it's the first pressing. This record as well as "What We Believe are both really fundamental when it comes to youth crew hardcore in my opinion. The lyrics aren't exactly groundbreaking, they're simple, to the point and ooze conviction. The music, on this record is a little more raw production wise in comparison to "What We Believe" but it's just as good.



This:Is awesome, TFS in Guatemala, if only kids around here got that stoked on hardcore

In other news, my sister got married Saturday along with 40 million other couples being that it was 7/7/07. It was weird because she's my younger sister, but I'm happy for her, they're happy that's all that matters. Pics will be posted of me sporting a tux looking like a total geek, but only upon request.

I need to buy that new Allegiance LP. I'm getting into Overlooked more and more these days. I have that pressing of Insted as well...yeah, first pressing. I remember seeing them live in Boston with Born Against and Rorschach while they were on tour for the What We Believe album (1991?). The crowd reaction was pretty weak, but it was still a fun time.
Tux pictures please.

Haha tux pictures will come. patience.

I would have loved to see Insted, i was 6 years old in '91 so no chance there. It bugs me when great bands get a weak reaction, especially when terrible bands get great reactions. I guess thats sort of the ebb and flow of society in general.

People like stupid things.. so do the opposite and you should be ok... or i could be completely off on this analysis.

Seeing Insted on the reunion tour a couple of years ago was a much better show.
