I might just have to go to Death to False Hope...
Some good bands are playing especially Mikey Erg, The Slow Death, The Holy Mess, and Banquets.

My band played the boner room one time.
Never again.

weaknesstorments asked: We will literally play any show. With like a weeks notice of course, cause our vocalist goes to school in Richmond.
So apparently the He Is Legend reunion show in Wilmington was amazing. They sold out the Soapbox even.
Bummed I missed them, but I’m sure they’ll do something soon.
My band, COUNTERsmith, changed our name to Will... →
I need to get you guys up in Hickory soon.

So I just read that Michael Knott was a co-founder of Tooth & Nail records. I’ve never heard this before, and it’s even more shocking when you think about the amount of music that Mike Knott has released on different labels. Out of the 25 to 30 albums, he only put out one on Tooth & Nail.
I can’t really seem to find many other sources claiming this, except that the first...

Booking a Tour
This is from the End of a Year Self Defense Family tumblr.
We did two full US tours before ANYONE had ever heard of us. Great experience, right? Part of the punk thing, maybe? Yeah. All that. Sure. But if the goal was ever to get bigger as a band, we did it all wrong. If you’re into the romantic idea of going long distances, manifest destiny by way of van, Henry Rollins bullshit, by all means go...

I'm bummed.
My computer chose to give out at a horrible time for the internet. I’ve pretty much lost all of the music that I had, and now I may not be able to recover much of it thanks to Megaupload going down, and all the other filesharing sites taking down content.
At some point I’m going to have to get the hard drive out of that computer, though I have no idea how to do that.
creamotionalhardcore asked: hey justin, thanks for the review of Summer Vacation's 'Condition' LP. - mark :)
Back online!
My friend Cory basically fronted me the money to buy a new computer, which I will repay him once I get my tax return back.
I have good friends.

The emo tags are just ridiculous
Amongst all the posts of half naked girls and swoopy hair, are my posts about revival bands

– Nick Hornby, High Fidelity (via mynameistrevor22)
Wow, this is such an excellent quote. I need to go back and re-read the book. The movie is so good and has so many lines lifted directly from the book that I’ve forgotten some really great quotes.

The thing that worries me about the Megaupload raid is that the government will be in possession of their servers. So how long until the Feds start going through those servers and trying to find everyone who has used Megaupload to download anything. God knows I’m guilty of this.
Farewell Megaupload
If only they would have taken Rapidshare instead.
As long as they don’t get Mediafire we’ll be ok.
From the stories I’ve read, its seems like a lot more was going on than just uploading copywritten materials.

I’ve mentioned it a few times, but here we go. Justin and I are about to set off on a long and exhaustive journey to fully document(to the best of our ability at least) the various strands of Christianity through punk rock, hardcore, and the more grassroots side of indie, emo, or rock in general. Why? Christian music can be pretty awful, I...

New Unsane record this year? 2012 is going to be good. Quetzalcoatl may just have to come back just to save us from the grim fate of a bad music year in 2013.
I was wrong about the tour with the Melvins where they cover each others songs. It’s going to be a tour exclusive split where they cover each other.
Though they are coming to Charlotte April 26th.
