Too bad these guys are the worst band on Drive-Thru...
eh...thats debateable...that bright eyes cover guy really sucks ( i can't think of the name)...'we can breathe under alchohol or whatever'...complete crap

too think that label once had early dashboard, good midtown, good finch, new found glory and all that on their label amazes me. what happened to the quality control?

hidden in plain view is the only new dtr band i cna think of that does anything for me. well that hellogoodbye ep was great too but not like the stuff dtr was puttin out circa 2000-2002

no offense but i don't get the hype around these guys...that sydney song just sounds like the used or something. totally unoriginal and flat

Who's been hyping them?

I'm sorry, but the most talented band on DTR is TEN.

I love how you can't remember "an angle" but you can remember the whole album name and you put "or whatever" at the end just to emphasize that you're too cool for school. hahahaha

I think DTR is on their way back too...I mean socratic put out a good record. the HIPV was cool the TEN 3 -disc is gonna own, the IATA is good, Hellogoodbye's dvd and full length will do well, and the Halifax full length will do really good to!

and I heard that they are putting out some REALLY good dvd's next year too....or something like that?

ya i guess youre right, its hype in the sense that when the cd is released it will be "as seen on the real world" which i guess will get that audience hyped about it....its not of much use now though, you are correct.

haha, the 'or whatever' was supposed to be AFTER the quotation marks. Yes, i remembered the name, the album comver, what the dude looks like...i sincerely could not remember 'an angle'. i'm not too cool for school, i listen to hellogoodbye for gods sake. i think fall out boy is great.

havent heard socratic. ace enders's voice aggravates me i'm sorry. i hated 'the room is too cold' but enjoyed their first ep. lookin forward to hellogoodbye. I want to get IATA but it was sold out at best buy by the time i got there. i liked the movielife a lot. HIPV I really enjoy, i'd say its currently in my top 10 for the year but soon to get bumped out by years end

oh yea i love allister.

Uhhh, last I checked the manager doesn't write the music. They may reflect the same genre but Trainwreck is one of the best albums I have heard in the past year or two. Halifax is poo poo.

09/29/05, 02:36 PM

amazing band, the new album is going to own. Everyones going to be talking about this release when it comes out in a few months....I have a great feeling they are going to blow up..its going to be sick! If you dont have the e.p....get it, its definitly awsome. I also saw they have new tour dates with scary kids/static lullaby....check out halifaxrock.com for info

If you actually listened to An Angle's new full length, you'd realize it's pretty good.

His music is now a lot more upbeat than Bright Eyes. You don't seem to complain when pop-punk band singers sound the same.

What's happened to quality control?

Hm...

let's think.

That was 3 years ago, guess what, 3 years ago I was listening to Good Charlotte... oh that's right, Musical Tastes CHANGE. Just because it's not all the best pop-punk DOESNT MEAN ITS NOT GOOD MUSIC.

The House Of Fools, Adelphi, David Melillo records will all be fantastic I guarantee, but maybe not your thing.

You'll definately love the Rushmore full lengths(The Mile After, Madison, Self Against City, The Track Record are all set to be released next year before summer I think...) which are all great, poppy stuff.

david mellilo is gonna be big i think, and adelphi sounds amazing

i look at the new rushmore as the old drivethru personally i think their signing better bands than drivethru... all the bands you mentioned plus houston calls are gonna help that label take off

The new Halifax album will be great. All the new songs I've heard so far have been fantastic. Anthem for Tonight, Murder I Wrote, Giant in the Ring, and another live one I heard were all great. It's not much different from their EP but they pull off the sound well.

He is probably still jacking off to poison and warrant, not to mention his movie reviews are complete crap. Like buddyhead, absolutepunk is for the kids! Quit downloading porn in your mom's basement, and talking shit about drive thru records and get a job.
