Conjurer are a rowdy bunch and I like them.

I'm in the same boat as you. I know the bare bones of it but that's all. On the 'I can't decide if it's hideous or totally great' theme, this is a thing that exists:

The Astronoid album is totally great. So are the Gost and Perturbator ones. Perturbator's latest, New Model, is even better. Good lad. I've been enjoying the album Abandoned by sludge/crust-punk band Pillars a lot lately, it's a bit rough around the edges in places but I'm into it: https://pillrs.bandcamp.com

Jeff Rosenstock snuck out a new album on New Years Day and it's great so listen to it.

1. I'm not having that. Glassjaw were always better than those bands. 2. You're right about the new album. It's very good, I love the bass on it in particular.

I was also there in 2002, that was my first full weekender though I'd been in 2001 for the Saturday to see Green Day. Only Green Day. Any other decent bands on show that day were a happy accident. I saw everyone except nofx and Prodigy on the Friday main stage. I think I missed nofx to see Hell Is For Heroes and popped over to see Alpinestars and The Music while Prodigy were on/while Guns 'n' Roses were hanging around not going on. Saturday's line-up was very much Not For Me. I spent a lot of time milling around the comedy tent that day. I remember it pissing down while The Soundtrack Of Our Lives were on so I went for shelter to watch This Girl, who were better than the bigger band. Obviously saw Weezer, I'm not an idiot. Full Beard Rivers was good. I definitely saw Fenix TX and The Electric Soft Parade too, I was young enough at the time to be impressed with the members of the latter band changing instruments between songs. The Polyphonic Spree barely fit on the Carling Tent's stage and played that one song I knew so that was fine. Sunday I was camped out at the main stage from Andrew WK onwards. It was "good". Then were those riots in the campsite with people burning up the toilet blocks and blowing up a generator so my pals and I retreated to the safety of the nearby Sainsbury's car park and waited for our ride home. Cool Story Ends.

There's a new HI-STANDARD album. RIYL: punk rock bands from the 90s, such as HI-STANDARD.

I'm just dipping my toes in the water with that kind of thing but I like Gost too so listen to that if you haven't already. There's a new Puppy song. Puppy rule.

yeeeeaaah, that Expander album is wild. Perturbator doesn't sound anything like that but it's just out today and I think it's neat:

I always feel like Every Time I Die are a band I should be well into and I can't put my finger on what it is that's stopping them from clicking with me. First ever gig was Fenix TX at Northumbria Uni in '02.

My first gig in Aberdeen was 5 months after this thread died. We Are Scientists at the Music Hall in September '06.

Aereogramme - A Story In White Remember them? I thnk it holds up.

First song from it isn't anything special

Yeah, it's good. They seem to hate coming over here which makes my decision to go to Newcastle to catch them with Big Business in 2012 seem even wiser than it did at the time. Have you heard the OHHMS record from earlier in the year? It's good too, from the doomier side of sludge.

new Unsane song with an album coming out at the end of september

Yup, league is up. Code: 499007-205558

Posted in the wrong thread. Ummmm. New Rozwell Kid album is decent.

RIFFS FROM NORWAY

it's good, actually.

I can't believe they've ditched the uneven crop. It's taken away any sense of character from the design. Disgusting.

Mutoid Man have riffs:

Football etc have a new album called Corner that's out today. It's really good if you like mathy emo songs. A song from the new Municipal Waste album that's out next month.

New Gnarwolves album is good punx

Total shithead, I'm told.

The new Part Chimp album is amazing and you should listen to it if you like being trampled under a herd of stampeding riffs with what I think is a perfect guitar tone.
