[bossman calling]

well there's a good way to run up your phone bill and eat up your battery life over useless crap

[splitsecond]

Well since Verizon upped incoming tect messages to 10 fucking cent apiece, I wont be doing this. But its a good idea.

[StrikeAnywhere9]

or just wait a fucking second and go to ap.net for free


not to mention victory is horrid, except comeback kid and a few others.

[resUrectMe617]

Jamster!!!

[bossman calling]

Yeah paying 10 cents to find out what some assbags like Adien or Hawthorne Heights are up to is totally worth it....

[actionandaction]

text messaging! for fans of taking back sunday, hawthorne heights and betweened the buried and me.

[mylkhead]

Jamster!!!

[thunderlips]

[SLADE775]

How did nobody catch how hilarious this post is? They'll start putting big stickers over cell phone boxes. Or maybe banners in the store windows.

[ebakrevs]

[takingback2005]

i am a fan of victory. i like that they care about us to remind us of things! There is a lot of stuff to remember. I dont think you guys can hide from Victory. Everyone at least likes SOME of their bands. Don't you wish your favorite label would tell you when your favorite bands are doing rad things. I love music, Victory only makes it easier.

Thats what I thought.

eh, I'm sick of victory.

Haha. That reminded me of Tommy Boy.

It's called reading. Top to bottom, left to right... a group of words together is called a sentence.

Hasn't Vagrant and other independent labels been doing this for quite some time? My friend gets cell txts from a few labels already.

[thunderlips]

How do labels do that? The first time I saw it was on warped and I got the schedule for the day on my phone.

[pinkerton]

i think silverstein RULES. i don't care if theyre generic screamo either.

i love thursday and taking back sunday. and comeback kid.

but i hate victory because of the way they treat their bands, their obsession with money and that weird tony brummel war poster.

if your name weren't "takingback..." I would've thought you were being sarcastic

[I.O]

Tony Brummel makes me wet in the pants.
people can talk shit about the current state of victory records, and there new slew of bands, but its no denying this man put out some of the best hardcore albums of the 90's. Earth crisis,warzone,good clean fun.....and recently he put out A18,Hoods,Freya,ringworm.....they just arnt pushed,or promoted at all. Victory hardcore back in the day was amazing.

[Juturna25]

i find out about victory news from this site or my brother


i dont need texts messages its too much money these days

[fearthesloths]

Victory is just signing all these atrocious bands, thats the only real reason i hate them. I mean... Aiden, come the fuck on, that band sucks so badly, they are even being marketed as "The next band to make your parents pissed off about music" on the Victory sampler cds. There are so many other bands out there that deserve the support of a label other then that shitbag of a band. Theres also that other band The Tossers, i thought that was like a St Patrick's Day joke.... aparantly not. They need to get better talent scouts or something.

What do i type for the crazy frog again?

What is up Tony? Where have you been lately?

[staticpain]

No, I can safely say that I don't like any Victory bands. Thx.

The Tossers = AMAZING

i saw them on st. pattys day weekend with FLOGGING MOLLY and the mighty mighty bosstones. Best. Show. EVER.

but 90 percent of the other victory bands are fucking shit. Aiden is my main example. then i still dont understand how atreyu ever got popular, atrocious.

but they have hard working good bands like the junior varsity, and june, and straylight, and streetlight. but they dont get any attention because they wont make big tony any money. its all about money. money money money.

fuck that label. go support a real indie label, not a major disguised as one

Sorry it took me so long to see this. Yeah, I am. I spend entirely too much time on this website when we're not on the road.
dude my brother is bryan, from valpo. i met you when you guys played the bottom lounge with SL and when u played a java jo'z. i love you guys.
