Shut the fuck up!

Why the fuck are people always pissing and moaning about shit like this. Why do you guys care so much about how a band looks?

Lets look at it like this. The smackdown pretty much had the tightest jeans i have seen NOT on the back of a fucking 80's thrash metal cd. They had a total style about them. You could tell most of them were in the same band because of their "image" or "look!" Whats the big deal?

Also it seems that all the elitists are anyone but the "fashioncore/hardcore/metalcore" fans.

Steve when you wear a khaki cap or cut off a pair of trousers into shorts, youre creating an IMAGE.

Tom. What can i say about you? Your bass player has/had one of the most fashioncore haircuts ive seen in Aberdeen. I dont care if you give him abuse about what he listens to or looks like, he is still representative of your band. People in glass houses...

Have a think before you open your mouths again. Why does it matter if a band straighten their hair and wear designer clothing? If they mean what they are doing and fucking rock then wheres the problem?

This is pathetic. Aberdeen has in WSBB an awesome band. People just pick em apart for all the WRONG reasons.

Calm down. you'll get a nosebleed. and fashioncore is not talkin about their haircuts or their clothing. you've got the completely wrong end of the stick.

absolutely, fashioncore means way more than how a band looks, its the same as the monstrosity that third generation nu-metal became, except applied to hardcore/metalcore.i didnt say we shall be blessed were a bad band, just totally not what i look for in modern day hardcore/metalcore.i personally find them peddling wares that were getting tiresome and bland 4 years ago after a few inventive bands were ripped off wholesale by a slew of uninventive, bandwagon jumping bands.its waht happens i'm afraid.if they want to do that and you want to be impressed by that its cool beans, wipe off that nosebleed and go help that guy fix the guitar he broke in a rockstar fit.


i've worn caps, army shirts and cut off shorts for over 12 years and i'm certainly not 'creating an image', i used to be in the army and wear all my surplus, gives me more time to drink beer and hunt buffalo etc.reckon i'll get another few decades out of my current wardrobe.there ya go.

now have a bath, play some celine dion and chill.

Some fucking awesome points raised there....
Its true, I think we do sound alot like Cephalic Carnage or The Sawtooth Grin, but the point is, we are a relatively new band, and still we wear our influences on our sleeves...that will change in time...you know that right?

To be fair, it wasnt obvious that you were talking about the music. I wasnt having a go at what you wear i was talking abou the image you purvey by wearing what you do.

Its such a common thing for a band to be written off nowadays because they look like a "fashioncore" band! Apologies if you were talking about the music.

Tom is still talking balls. People were going in and out the rooms and there was no set amount of people staying outside.
The whole analysis of of where audience are all the time during a show is bollocks and again your views are elitist wank!

Couldnt people just go to this rather unique and different show and enjoy without having to worry about twats like Tom analysing where they stood or how long they spent in a room?

Surely you see my point?

like i said when i first heard you, i dont like it now but give yourselves 3-4 years playing together and i'd be keen to heard what came out.if i thought you were shit, i would simply say that, but i'm not.not my thing but to each their own.

hey, pretty much everyone there had a great night, irrespective of the bands they enjoyed/didnt enjoy.back to the whole 'opinions are like arseholes...' thing, people will think what they want and like what they want.this post is far to sensible so i'm going to stop now and drink.

the last you redeemed yourself with the buffalo. this one just scares me.

and I wouldn't necessarily say Tom was elitist. More that he wasn't into the whole back slappping scene thing. Tom goes to gigs to see bands he likes, not because he thinks he SHOULD go to a gig, or to be "seen". If people have a problem with that, oh darn.

now I'm off to tell my Granny I'm vegetarian.

Nah sorry Dave, youre wrong!

Tom is an elitist prick and its people like him that kill scenes...not the girl in the green day tee shirt thats maybe just getting into heavier stuff who goes and sits away from the band for a few songs because she is too hot or wants a seat and a drink before she watches the next band.

Remember...we have all been that person. Toms even so young that we all remember him in Nofx and Alakaline trio tee shirts. Those were good days. He was a nice kid then. Alas.
