The name of this clubnight caused a lot of confusion on Tuesday at Tunnels as people began to get excited at the prospect of American punk rock band Polar Bear Club coming to Aberdeen
-
Assert are amazing live, The Dangerfields are always good fun and The Murderburgers are surely the best pop punk band in Scotland. Win!
-
And to shake it up a little bit more we've got The Dogs Botox (fronted by Rapunzel Wizard)
First band on just after 8 so get there sharpish
-
I pretty much thought the bill should have been in reverse.
I agree! Vessels were absolutely brilliant, I look forward to seeing them again although not to the same extent, I was impressed by And So I Watch You From Afar...I can see why people dont like them too though
Oceansize had some good riffs but mainly bored me. I headed after half an hour.
-
Grader have had to pull out so if anyone wants to play, giz a message
-
do you guys use standard tuning?
never knew that.
i apologise for my ignorance
Quite alright! There is maybe 2 of our songs that is not in standard tuning. Im pretty sure Hijacks play in standard tuning though I could be wrong...
-
something different?
we are the only band in aberdeen playing punk rock in a standard tuning at the moment.
You are wrong

-
Sounds like a band Teabags has been in...
-
Think you're getting the Dodos and Sky Larkin mixed up there
I posted my best of 2009 at BEGINNING THIS BLOG WITH A SUMMARY The Anchor complete with links to LISTEN and BUY!
You are correct, I dont know why as I dont even have The Dodos album, only connection is them both being on Wichita.
-
Working on a Dream at number 1? God, I wasn't taken by it at all. A couple of good songs, but I thought it was mostly the Boss treading water.
By no means a classic but a really great pop album with some absolutely brilliant tracks on it (Life Itself, The Wrestler, The Last Carnival) and shows how many different styles he can do. Couple of dodgy tracks but flows really well as an album.
-
Pah, I can't make it afterall anyway

Can we pay on the door? Is it more pricy? What time is KC on?
cheers!
-
Mine was either Twist CD single by Arnold or Further by Geneva when I was 11. Damn I had good taste as a youngster.
-
the 'best punk' thread always has the best fights.
it's been this way for a decade now. bless.
Nah this is nowt compared to last year's argument over best indie...I think it was between Kartta and Kashmir Red?
-
Cobra Kai really impressed me last time I saw them so they get my vote, although Eric Euan are always good.
-
and watching escape to victory was like watching a replication of Rise Against with a singer who looks 5 years old!
they sing about politics and all that jazz and they probably dont even vote. so dont even start. i respect them as musicians - but i think theyre taking this far too seriously. this whole jealousy thing is hillairious.
everyone is entitled to their own opinion - so dont even bother trying to sway people.
there are so many genres of punk - and just because i play in a band that doesnt write songs about politics or climate change etc doesnt make me any less punk than you. oh and also when it comes to shows - i think youll find weve played a shit load more than E2V - and im pretty sure that stands for something. weve pushed ourselves really hard this year and worked for everything weve got. we just tried to do something different for aberdeens music scene. just because hardcore is the "in" thing to do right now does not mean there isnt room for other bands in Aberdeen. and to be honest i think the hijacks should win it anyway. those guys are amazing - and theyre a hell of a lot tighter than anyone else in this poll. im done arguing with someone who whines like a little girl about not winning. (referring to E2V) I honestly couldnt give a flying fuck. so go ahead, get your mates to sign up and cast votes for you. you obviously want this more than anyone else in this poll so go ahead. youve clearly worked harder than any of the other bands that write songs and play gigs and sell merch and record albums etc in Aberdeen.
actually fuck it - that was sarcasm - i hope we kick your ass.
I wasn't going to get involved in this, it's all a bit silly really and I quite liked Heller State - we at GFN? have put them on a few times now. I dont think there was a single point that Shaki made that was serious really, I can't see how anyone thought he was being bitter, and it's all a bit pointless when you consider most of the votes end up taking place at The Moorings and Brothel Corpse Trio will end up winning (sorry to be a cynic on the whole awards but that's how it is).
However, I don't think any of your points are valid really. We don't sound like Rise Against (imo anyway), we don't play a kind of hardcore that is popular (its not like we have keyboards), most of the posts in this thread have came from people that aren't even in e2v and I really don't see how playing Aberdeen more than us counts for anything...I mean Copy HaHo don't play Aberdeen much, does than mean they deserve less credit in the indie category than say Lady Mercedes? (no offence to Lady Mercedes, I just picked a band that play often). We could play Aberdeen every week if we wanted but don't really see the point

Really? From my experience Malt Mill were super-strict on age limits and made a lot more of a fuss about noise levels than any other "venue" in Aberdeen.
