The59Sound Posted December 17, 2008 Report Share Posted December 17, 2008 Best 3 bands heard this year for the first time: The Gaslight Anthem, Emarosa, New AdventuresBest gigs: Murder by Death at King Tuts, Coldplay at SECC, Gaslight Anthem at Garage.Best Releases of the year: Consult the top 10 albums thread.YAS MINs of the year: Joining Headlight, and the subsequent enjoyment that came along with it. Losing my girlfriend, only to realise weeks later how much better off I am now. Also, gaining a fresh appreciation for just how ace some of my friends are.Best purchase: Guitar Hero III / Freeview boxBiggest disappointment: The Glasvegas album, and Finch's Aberdeen show being cancelled with no reschedule.Looking forward to in 2009: Hopefully finding a new job, and more Headlight shenanigans.

Soda Jerk Posted December 17, 2008 Report Share Posted December 17, 2008 Hammers are a great band. Daniel is also a king amongst men. The nicest (and biggest) man in hardcore.Manchester has some decent powerviolence/thrash going on alot of the time. Margaret Thrasher being one of my favourites, although I don't know if they are still going. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hangover Heart Attack, Make Them Pay, Ghost/Bastard and more.Warboys are prob the best powerviolence band in the Uk just now though.

Panda Strong Posted December 17, 2008 Report Share Posted December 17, 2008 Daniel is also a king amongst men. The nicest (and biggest) man in hardcore.Is this big beard, plays drums and drives emo bands around in his van Daniel? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soda Jerk Posted December 17, 2008 Report Share Posted December 17, 2008 Until his Emo van died a sad death (the reg plate said Emo on it. Classic), yes. He is the very same Daniel. King Daniel.He plays drums in Carraway with the chap that used to be in 30 Seconds Til Armageddon, and plays guitar in Cost Of Living. And I think Bass in Hammers. And possibly Guitar in Homebase. TOO MANY BANDS! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panda Strong Posted December 17, 2008 Report Share Posted December 17, 2008 Yah, thats the one! Carraway played the Sinaloa gig up in Edinburgh.---WORST OF 2008 (AND WHAT JUST HAPPENED TO ME)Working your way through Band of Brothers again, only to find the last disc NOT IN THE BOX.Crying.

stuartmaxwell Posted December 18, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 18, 2008 Triple School I really didn't get why Glasgow people were cock in hand about this band when I seen em. Genuinely, what did I miss? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RF Scott Posted December 18, 2008 Report Share Posted December 18, 2008 I really didn't get why Glasgow people were cock in hand about this band when I seen em. Genuinely, what did I miss?I really like the lyrics/Giles' voice, they sound a bit like Billy Childish/Coachwhips which is always a winner for me, were funny between songs, played really well, guitar sounded awesome. They were FUN, which is good, too. When I saw them play it was also at a house party, which added to the entertainment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davidm Posted December 18, 2008 Report Share Posted December 18, 2008 Best 3 Bands heard this year for the first time - The Locust, Crossed Out, Secta RougeBest gigs this year - Swordmaster, Secta Rouge, Wifebeater, Jackie Treehorn @ Balcony Bar, Dundee, Hot Club de Paris @ Drummonds, Vampire Weekend @ Barrowlands, Maps and Atlases @ Music Hall (never been so madly blown away before by the technicality of any band!) Desalvo/Blessed @ East Neuk, Kunt and the Gang @ East Neuk, Mesa Verde/Black Channels/GTS @ Tunnels, Flatlands/Kaddish @ Tunnels, Ablach, Wifebeater, Bonesaw @ Tom'sBest Releases of 2008 - Hot Club De Paris - Live at Dead Lake, The Fall of Troy - Phantom on the Horizon EP, Vampire Weekend S/T, the rest of my favourite albums this year have been ones I've discovered this year and came out in previous yearsBest Result of the Year - Aberdeen 0 Inverness 2, opening day of the season, the guy in front of me and my friend repeatedly shouting 'GET OFF THE PITCH, YOU KEMNAY TINK to Darren Mackie'. He gave a great hug when we got the second as well. And constantly doing the Billy Bowden to the Dick Donald stand, yas.Best Purchase of the year - a half-decent guitar, the entirety of the Locust's discographyYAS MINs of the year - getting a girlfriend (holding on to her as well!), booking my first holiday in five years for Valentine's Day with her, joining/forming Wifebeater and getting to meet so many fucking ace people through the band.Biggest Dissapointment - being constantly poor and having to borrow money from friends towards to end of most months despite having two jobsLooking forward to 2009 - Paris in February, probably going on an actual proper tour with Wifebeater in April and just generally getting to know loads more people where and when I canOverall - 2008 has been the best year of my life by such a long way that I can't really put it into words.
