Make Do And Mend > Polar Bear Club

[mht]

5 reasons why.

1. http://www.myspace.com/makedoandmend
2. new album is FREE
3. Influences: JEW, SEAWEED, FUCKING TRAGEDY
4. way better live show
5 this tank:

:headbang: Winter Wasteland hard mosh'

[Rodeo]

Wow. Something we agree on.


Some downsides, however:
1. Vocals on Polar Bear Club are still better. (let's not lie to ourselves here).
2. The best song on the album is the first song. Then it's kinda downhill.
3. It's an EP and not a full-length.
4. It's too cold to wear a tank.

[mht]

note: I didn't say one thing negative about PBC. Just a musical comparison. You could say both are playing the same style of music out there right now. I think Make Do And Mend deserves just as much love.

True, but you say something negative about PBC everyday.

[GuitarR0cker1]

This EP is tremendously kick ass. These guys should be getting more attention.

ITT is what I meant.

[mht]

Polar bear club has bad lyrics and terrible vocals. Weakest part of that band imo

[chinkyfart]

awesome to see people talking about make do and mend

[ThemChains]

They play in Richmond soon.

[LendMeYourBrain]

half of the time it sounds so hot water music

[wewascontenders]

agreed, bow is great.

[x togepi x]

half of the time it sounds so hot water music

so everyone will love it here since hot water music is the one punk band half the music kids listen to.

does not sound like Overrated Water Shit Music or whatever that band is called.

Fuck your negativity, dude. You're a waste of time and piece of shit that no one can stand. Why do you keep coming back to a site where nobody likes you? I mean, I understand escaping your 'real' life where you have no friends, but to go from that to a website where no one can stand you either must get pretty discouraging sometimes... which explains why you're an asshole.

Merry fuckin' Christmas.

[ThisIsNotDan]

well...on the bright side, good band. I wonder why Danny Boy wasn't on Bodies Of Water. the source file from Myspace said it was supposed to be the 7th track on it

[Colorblind!]

Pwnt.

good band, really solid.

I bet you your shitty band on splatter vinyl that more people like me on this website than they like you. Not making a popularity contest, but saying NOBODY likes me is quite the fucking reach. You just get bent out of shape because I have an opinion that is blunt when I say a band fucking sucks, because I think they do? I am not shoving my beliefs down your throat and telling you not to listen to to them, or making fun of you for liking them. I think they are overrated and shitty, why do you care? You care too much, every time I dislike one of your precious shit bands, (which I can't help you have a 1 dimensional taste of the same sounding bands in the same genre) you get all bent out of shape. Did you ever think about posting on vinyl collective? probably would have more common with kids with that kind of music taste there. I mean, also, still, the fact that you act like you know anything about me or my life again is hilarious. Next your gonna say you and Scott Heisel have a better career and went to a better college than me, that's a laugh in itself.

This is about Make Do and Mend being an nice up and coming band to check out, I'd appreciate it if you wouldnt fill this thread with your pompous stupidity. Thanks

[Siren Silently]

What are you going to say about this band in 9 months when they release a shitty full length that every AP.net member has in their top 10s?

[Rodeo]

I am not shoving my beliefs down your throat and telling you not to listen to to them, or making fun of you for liking them.


So NOW you try to act all high and mighty? For every 1 time you have done that... there are 93408302948309 times where you have made fun of someone.


We get it, dude, you don't like it... stop posting your precious opinions in every single fucking thread now.

[mht]

the fact that, that is your rebuttal proves I am right.

[llwilliamsll]

The internet. Serious Business as always.

[mht]

dude gets so upset because I don't like generic orgcore bands that all sound the same. Hilarious and pathetic at the same time. He was the same way 2 years ago when he was jocking 31G bands but since trends change he hoped the bandwagon to orgcore now, which is probably even worse than what he was jocking before actually.

[LendMeYourBrain]

so what if you were in a band thats richmand sludge whatever (which I hate) would you like it if some random dude constantly told you your band sucked?

and you change your opinion so much. you've backed Bear Vs Shark as hard as possible. I remember you were the one that rec'd me Polar Bear Club a year ago

You'd fit right in there.
There's hundreds of threads where you can bash all the bands you hyped not that long ago.

Telling Rodeo to go to another site while all you do on this one is trash the bands the general population loves is stupid.

[oddwithoutend]

Many worthy posts.

[LendMeYourBrain]

merry christmas guys

[wewascontenders]

mdam is sick, he didn't trash pbc in here once. who gives a fuck what he said somewhere else. we all have our opinions, he likes to voice them, that's good. some people (including you) need to grow the fuck up and stop caring about the what someone else says, especially on the internet. waste of fucking space.

now back to mdam.

[Colorblind!]

This is a little extreme, but that's like saying I was a rapist in afghanistan, but now I'm in Canada and Canada loves me and I'm not raping Canadians, so all charges are dropped. Yay.

no. He's allowed to have an opinion, I usually respect it, but he should stay out of threads where all he does is make fun of people for liking a good band. If we should grow up and not care about what he says, he should grow up and not say stupid shit in the first place.

But Make Do and Mend are fucking sweet also.

This is a little extreme, but that's like saying if someone believes rape is okay, everyone else should.
Really not worth worrying about other people so much. Especially since the only impact they have on you is over the internet.

[mht]

1. I don't know what "Richmond Sludge" even is, and that makes you not smart for even saying that.
2. change my opinion so much on what? I've backed Bear Vs Shark? How is Bear Vs Shark even relevant here? I still like them? Do you even have a point with this nonsense you spouted?
3. If one dude or a thousand dudes told me my band sucks it means I am doing my job, because its equal to those who have a positive opinion. It's a balance. Like Republican vs Democrat.

The general population =/= the bands Rodeo likes or the bands you little 16 year old self likes. Not by a long shot. I'd like you to name me even 5 bands I hyped that I now trash, because I'm pretty sure you couldn't even name 3.

mdam is sick, he didn't trash pbc in here once. who gives a fuck what he said somewhere else. we all have our opinions, he likes to voice them, that's good. some people (including you) need to grow the fuck up and stop caring about the what someone else says, especially on the internet. waste of fucking space.

now back to mdam.

The best is that I am simple, but they get so butt hurt, but call me out on being the ridiculous one.

I make a simple post saying a band sucks, but its a band they like so much apparently, they come back at me with things like:

a. you have no real life friends
b. you are a career failure
c. you are going nowhere in life
d. you're the pathetic douchebag
e. more life, career, personality, personal jokes.
f. you post on a lot on a message board, go outside, etc etc
g. nobody likes you here, why do you post here, blah blah blah
*the list goes on and on

it's quite hypocritical and hilarious of them, especially for trying to pigeonhole me, only showing themselves as the bigger assholes just because I make some blanket statement/generalization. Quite sad really.

everyone fucking dislikes bands, just like you dont get along with every coworker or classmate in school and usually let someone know about it. I mean, it just so happened the dice fell where every band they like I hate, I can't help that. Not my problem. I don't care, I am not saying it directly at them or to piss them off. It's funny though because I actually made this thread about POSTIVE discussion on a band I DO like and they turned it around anyway. Pure stupidity if you ask me.

are you this dumb? that's not even close to liking/disliking a band. The fact that you even compared rape to musical preference is hilarious/pathetic in itself.

I don't know if you noticed either or are that BLIND. But this is a THREAD on a band I LIKE. So the staying out of threads where he blah blah blah blah is void. I made this fucking thread, you goons are the ones that turned it into this shit show by spewing the nonsense you do.

[llwilliamsll]

Look who it is...the man of the hour

[mht]

that rape comparison is absolutely sad, and makes me laugh the more and more I read it. Not even close to the same thing.

[dretti]

This sounds pretty good. Heavy HWM influence, some of the music sounds straight out of No Division. But I like it

Well that's because this is the orgcore forum and he dared to speak ill of the "org-riginators" of this shitty genre.

It's funny though because I actually made this thread about POSTIVE discussion on a band I DO like and they turned it around anyway. Pure stupidity if you ask me.

I haven't been around this board long enough to name names of bands, but I know you used to like bands like DTN which would probably be one of the bands you would laugh at me for enjoying, and somebody in this thread already said you rec'd him PBC a while ago. My age really should have nothing to do with this, I never claimed to be a mature poster, but my thoughts still have validity.
I never said ANY of those things, except that I think you can be a douchebag sometimes, because you have a good taste in music and you know it, so you tell everybody else they listen to shit. It's not really a nice way to be.

are you this dumb? that's not even close to liking/disliking a band. The fact that you even compared rape to musical preference is hilarious/pathetic in itself.

I don't know if you noticed either or are that BLIND. But this is a THREAD on a band I LIKE. So the staying out of threads where he blah blah blah blah is void. I made this fucking thread, you goons are the ones that turned it into this shit show by spewing the nonsense you do.

The rape comparison was stupid, but just trying to make a point. He said that what you said on another thread means nothing, but it does. You talk lots of shit on a band, and then on this thread we should pretend you didn't? I don't care if you don't like PBC, I would just prefer not having to hear about it when we're discussing how much we like them. It's just not neccessary imo.
The staying out of threads thing is not void, because I actually really like Make Do and Mend. You rec'd them in the hardcore thread and I enjoy it alot.
We're all allowed to have our opinions, just when you give yours you make it sound like you think you're better then everybody else.

[summer skin]

He said he likes PBC. Shut the fuck up and go listen to more Guns Up! on splatter cassette.

[mht]

I'm pretty sure nowhere did I ever say I dislike Down To Nothing. I love being pigeonholed with made up things that I never said, always funny.

[summer skin]

...I dislike Down To Nothing. I love being pig... holed with ... things
You heard it.

[llwilliamsll]

Haha

[dretti]

surprised you like it, doesn't seem like your forte.

Yeah, I love Hot Water Music and am usually a fan of orgcore bands actually. I actually like the vocals on these songs, was that one of your strong points?

[the thread]

This is pretty good.

[wewascontenders]

i'm pretty sure if the sound of richmond sewers were recorded it'd still sound better than some of the shit listened to by people on here.

[mht]

there needs to be a richmond sludge thread where I just ramble on about bands I like/dislike, wonder if I would have any readers.

[ThemChains]

As much as people seem to hate you, they keep coming back for more. They would read it.

[Colorblind!]

I would definitely read it.

[Justin_stacy]

Not bad, singers got a really good voice. Not sure if I'd call them better then Polar Bear Club, though.

[wewascontenders]

Do you have that transit cd already? If so, how?

this will not define us? that's been out since last year. but if you meant the ep stay home, it made it's way out a few weeks ago, doesn't come out till april 14th though.

as far as the mdam > pbc argument goes, i find mdam much more catchier and a hell of a lot more fun than pbc.

[the thread]

I'd say that both bands EPs are pretty comparable to me. But if we're comparing MDAM to PBC's full length, then MDAM blows PBC away. I really thought that their LP just fell flat on its face.

[Chris Immunity]

i loved the pbc full length, it was great. mdam's ep, however, fucking took me and and wouldn't let me go. ive listened to this ep probably 20 times more than the pbc full length. not just because its shorter either. mmmm

e.p. is super solid, but i thought their live show was kind of disappointing compared to when i saw pbc

Agree that MDAM is better than PBC, and they're also way better live. PBC is alright, but for some reason I can't throughly listen to any of their songs. Something about them bores me half way through. I wish that MDAM/Defeater/All Teeth tour was coming my way.

[karadotcollett]

Make Do And Mend is so legit. love it.
