Rebel Son



Drivin' & Cryin' wasn't from NC, were they? I think they might've been from Georgia...but I can't remember for sure. Either way, they were really good.

The rosebuds are good. Nathan Asher and the Infantry are also quality.

And I was a big fan of Weekend Excursion, nevermind the haters.

Superchunk and the Scaries.

And I'm sure no one has heard of these guys (since they were high school bands) but Vercordia and The Human Flys kicked ass.

"either timothys weekend or nowhere but down, its pretty much a toss up"

ha, i was the first reply in this thread.

and for all of those who dont already know, timothy's weekend turned into sedona who turned into annuals, so they have always been fucking amazing, even 5+ years ago when they were a small band from my high school

12/12/2006 1:33:22 AM

timothy's weekend and sedona weren't amazing. timothy's weekend did have one tight song though (opiate). sedona had some good songs i guess, but it was pretty obvious that they continually would rip off every band they discovered. first, they sounded like thursday. then they sounded like a thursday-radiohead mix. then they went for the straight on Radiohead sound with an edge. also, all the early annuals songs sounded really similar to bright eyes. but i guess it's cool to see them get as big as they are getting

12/12/2006 2:44:05 AM

well opiate is what i had in mind when i used the term "fucking amazing", haha

i don't know about all that. a band of a friend of mine had the annuals open for them i guess a couple years ago now and said that they were terrible and have gotten a lot better.

and since two of my favorites from last year are no longer bands, i'll throw in megafaun and add port huron statement, but only because of their newest (not quite yet to be released) album "man of the march"

so hopesfall is finally done?

1/13/2008 2:44:15 AM

yep. they officially said it was done with 0 original members but they did put 2 new songs online before doing so heh. saskatchewan is actually a decent song, all the magnetic north era stuff sounds SO much like the deftones have sounded on their new material tho its weird.

its weird. i was ready for this name to die for awhile just because of how much i LOVED the old hopesfall. but then when they actually said they were done...it was still kind of sad. weird.

1/13/2008 2:52:02 AM

final show?

1/13/2008 2:58:19 AM

FUTURE FUCKING ISLANDS

1/13/2008 2:58:45 AM

If i lived in finland my fave local band would be wintersun.

1/13/2008 2:59:52 AM

nightwish

1/13/2008 3:01:18 AM

eww if i lived in finnland, i can't think of a band i would like less.


and Scandinavian metal is my thing.

no word actually.

but what im hoping (and it will never happen) is a hopesfall reunion with old members for a final show. id pay a lot of money for that.

1/13/2008 3:17:07 AM

future islands will be back in town to play at slim's in a few weeks

also, "lalita" by the love language is one of the best pop songs i've heard in years

how about FELIX THE DRUM MACHINE

featuring:

william from future islands
zack from annuals
brian from lonnie walker
and vinylbandit

1/13/2008 3:27:30 PM

haha my old manager at schoolkids (travis) used to talk about felix the drum machine, he was into it

what was that really shitty SRHS nu-metal band that erik blum and others were in? i remember seeing them play at southeast once, terrible decision on my part

though probably not as bad as The Nicofiends

1/13/2008 3:32:40 PM

haha the nicofiends

any sanderson kids (~2002) remember the jam band that is now cast against character...can't remember what they were called back in the day

[Edited on January 13, 2008 at 3:46 PM. Reason : ]

1/13/2008 3:45:42 PM

travis worked at rec-ex when we used to play there all the time...we did completely different shows every time, so i think that kept him entertained more than anything

erik's band was public diZtraction...i actually played lead guitar with them once for some unknown reason

i think the real SRHS winner is nikki glaspie, the drummer from our jazz band...she's beyonce's touring drummer and was on the cover of modern drummer magazine

Diamond Studs

1/13/2008 4:12:36 PM
