I was completely unaware of Tortugas existence.

Having listened on Myspace, they sound quite good - I was a big fan of NCF, although they weren't great when I saw them live.

Dead Swans are brilliant, and This Is Hell are ace too - sound like a good show!

Hexes/Johnny Truant/Caner Bats looks good too. Hexes are ACE.

Fantastic band that has become something else with the corpse of Freddy M being repeatedly raped.

I fucking loathe Abba and the Bee Gees.

Shame it's not really about the music and all about paying for purely money-making tat.

What you've got there is two options - the modern, downloadable deal, which is cheap/free and eco friendly - or the old, overpackaged and overcompensated deal where you pay a shedload for unneccesary crap which is just bunged in to create or add "value" where none really exists.

It is hilarious that anyone in their right mind would choose the latter option. It's just evidence of how dumb people are. The same goes for britney spears "super fans" or pink floyd "super fans", they are all just gullible idiots.

While I agree with some of that, I hate "owning" downloads - much prefer to have a physical CD in my mits, complete with artwork and liner notes (and no, a downloaded, printed off/burnt version is NOT the same). While I wouldn't pay 150 for thata NIN package, I WOULD pay over-the-odds for a similar deal from say, Deftones, Converge or Clutch (not 150 MIND!).

Dj Speeeeeeeeedranch!

Whichever record has the song "Rise" on it. I can't remeber offhand but I do remember getting very excited about it when I was fifteen. God bless Victory Records Samplers from the 90's!

Supporting Converge. With Coliseum.

Have listened a few time - tbh the "wacky" interludes are by far the most entertaining parts - and have the best tunes!

The rest is Okaaay, just a bit dull!

Oh I LIKE this - got it from a website, and it is rather special. Very slow, drawn out - but never dull! Very good for inbetween bouts of Genghis Tron and Hope Con!

I realise only a few folks will be into them, but what is the best Integrity album to start with?

Would love to see RATM, but the rest of the lineup looks average at best, and TITP is always full of cunts.

Do kids still listen to Lostprophets these days...?

Yes, lots.

Gnh! Can't go!

Lostprophets are one of the UKs biggest acts - why on earth shouldn't they be headlining? They put on a pretty damn good show, have a load of proper stadium/festival sized anthems, and I reck will go down a treat.

The Offspring have done fuck all for years - I'm surprised they can still fill a headline slot.

Motorhead are great, but not "big" enough to headline, Judas Priest are too small too.

Sorry, "Here Comes Death", not "The Pain".

Wheres the fucking edit button gone?

Dropkick Murphies - Sing Loud, Sing Proud

Speedealer - Here Comes the Pain

Pitchshifter - The Remix Wars

All three for a fiver.

Genghis Tron - Board Up The House (Very excited!)

There was a song which was a parody of "Going Underground"by the Jam, with just one guy and a piano singing about how shit the tube is. I think there was an animated video for it on some websites.

The chorus was "London Underground, London Underground, They're all lazy fucking useless cunts" etc.

Good song.

YouTube - London Underground - Lazy Cunts

shame its in ivory blacks, which could possibly be one of the worst venues ever

I never listened to much converge but I fucking love no heroes

Boo to the venue - whats wrong with it?

No Heroes is your favourite? I was listening to it today, and its GOOD, but there are better. Jane Doe is obviously a classic, and PTES and WFCC are awesome.

I think You Fail Me is massively underrated.

Ach, they're all ace!

Plan B looked like pile of super-hyped trendy pish when I picked it up in Borders.....

A fat, nutter Bjork fan fakes suicide? Is that what you REALLY look like Stripey?

Ace UK Hardcore - do you like American Nightmare? You'll like Dead Swans!

MySpace.com - DEAD SWANS (new song up) - UK - Hardcore / Blues - www.myspace.com/thedeadswans

I believe they're supporting This Is Hell in Aberdeen. Should be a good gig (I can't make the Glasgow date - boo!)

Quick question - I've just uploaded a load of videos to YouTube, but when they are played back, its only a section of the video picture that is shown in the whole youtube player (does that make sense?) - eg, a video of someones face only shows the top right quarter, but filling the whole screen.

What am I doing wrong?

Ace stuff! Crusty punk-oid hardcore. Love it.

Sounds like a better Coliseum.

MySpace.com - Disfear - Stockholm Nykping Vstervik - Punk / Hardcore - www.myspace.com/disfear

Yeah, I know it aaaages away, but I miss them. Every. Fucking. Time. Tickets booked!

IVORY BLACKS: Converge featuring Integrity / COLLISIUM

at Ivory Blacks, Scotland

14+ show

10.00

Rock Sound is one I buy regularly and don't feel cheated by. I like the fact the writers clearly like the same stuff as me, as shown by their recent "most important records" feature which had stufff like "Shape of Punk...", "Oceanic" and loads of other records I love in it, rather than just Never-fuckin-mind a-fucking-gain. Plus they do cover a few other genres superficially, so I feel like I'm "branching out"....

Empire I get too, but think they hype blockbusters too much when they're clearly shit. And I fall for it.

Metalhammer I sill buy occasionally.

Kerrang I buy far too often, as it's gash. I only read the reviews and tour dates - don't think there has been a feature I've more than glanced at for months....

Not really, but closest thing going:

Rather good I think! (Well, not utter shit, which is what I was expecting!)
