If that is the Hit The Lights from Syracuse then I saw them with bane on the 2nd, good band. My boy Aaron Elliot aka Ho$$ is now drumming for The Escape Engine expect big things from them in 2005 hitting the studio in late Feb. The kid got tatt's yo.

frank,

great idea on combining all the recommendation posts. it really was a terrible mess, before.

also, now that you all have the rss feed going, i really like that i don't have to decipher emo lyrics in the titles to figure out what the post is about. the informational titles are so much more professional.

big up's to all y'all on both counts.

best,
jlw.

[gonzogrover]

Ettison Clio is fucking sweet, and I've gotta like Hit The Lights... Ohio music in the hizzie... excellent

[abbreviation]

Ah, Ettison Clio! Those Michiganders need to tour in Florida. (Preferably with Before I Go and Just Ask...I have friends in Michigan that got me into them)

The end.

[weaknights]

i'm seeing hit the lights on friday with race the sun. i hope they're good.

Everyone needs to listen to the Life Aquatic soundtrack. Seu Jorge's performance of the Bowie songs is impeccable.

ok so i love reading recs on sundays, yet frank your recs might not be bad bands, yet how i judge to check out a band is based on what the reviewer says..when you just say something like great band...i love them...its gets me nowhere and gives me no reason to want to check them out. im not saying that you need to listen to me and check how you do your thing, but a little more info about the band and less of how much you like them i think would be helpful...of course you would like them if you are recommending them...that is the obvious, tell us the not so obvious to want to intrigue me to want to check them out...just a suggestion though...thanks have a great sunday

[Achilles]

Yeah, I just don't have time sometimes to do that. I was actually not even going to write any descriptions after each band at all this week.

[payforglory]

Jeremy Crawford is the man.

I miss Say From Charms, I still listen to them everyday.

Expect a new Hit The Lights song on purevolume soon.

[Scott Weber]

It is a great idea to combine all of the recs on one thread. You guys have been making lots of great changes lately. Keep up the good work.
