The Hardcore Thread Genre • Page 454

I guess I’m going to a 200 Stab Wounds video shoot in a few weeks

 

cannot overstate how awful this is

 

I'm not a hater like Pat. Don't think it's awful, but none of these re-recordings have really done anything for me

 

I’m very happy Patrick got that off his chest

 

I need to give the record another listen eventually, but it just felt like a less good version of what Culture Abuse was doing before their singer was outed as a sex pest

 

im sorry but they aren't going to beat the hard band gone soft allegations by working with manchester orchestra and some of the worst electronic production you've ever heard lmao

 

Allegations? Lol

They were/are a HARD band? Lol

 

Based on the interviews I heard with Ian, this was always the plan and what he wanted to do. Most of the album were songs written before the stuff we heard first. He released the earlier stuff as a bridge essentially. But I think it's always been supposed to be a more poppy and accessible outlet.

 

I'm pretty sure we all have a take or two about hardcore that's gonna be unpopular or controversial tbh. pat was just the first.

here's mine for today - that valley girl demo is the worst thing i've heard in a while. if this is the first in the wave of turnstile clones we're gonna get, then i'm not stoked for it. but i also think think that weekend nachos is the pinnacle of powerviolence from the last 15 years or so, so my opinion doesn't matter.

it's also a slow workday for me, and i feel like dropping some gasoline on the fire so c'est la vie.

It sold out in less than four hours. Wild.

 

To be fair you are the grandpa that screams at the sky for most things and then likes the band with the worst production on earth.

 

i like to think it's part of being 34 into a genre that's a young dude's game. the people doing the real interesting shit are always 10 years younger than you whether it's good or bad. for every demo that's awful, you've got a good band like rabbit, balmora, or scarab doing things right imo

And are we shitting on the shit like DIY grindcore or Weekend Nachos production in general here? the former, yeah. the latter, andy's one of the best producers in hardcore, and everything after punish and destroy sounds beautiful. them's knife fighting words, nate.

 

1. Anyone who shits on Weekend Nachos is objectively wrong. One of the best bands to do it
2. I’m speaking to your bands that have less than 5 followers on Spotify
3. Don’t bring a knife to a gun party Shane

 

jokes on you, i don't use spotify so those stats don't mean anything to me. plus i don't have any guns other than a slingshot pistol that launches foam airplanes so knives are the best i've got at the moment.

 

I’ve got a rubber band gun. Let’s go!

 

Yeah, everything I've read about the project was that it was a vehicle to explore more "accessible" alt-rock sounds. I'm very much here for all of it.

OOH OOH!!!

 

Ian has RJC for all his aggression. Also, Life Under the Sun are alternate versions of songs so I don’t know why people’s panties are all in a bunch. The band was never heavy and a totally different outlet for Ian. It’s fine people.

 

Is RJC even still a band? There hasn't been a peep about them since S&F '22.

edit: just saw on their twitter a new album is coming this year. nice.

 

No one said the guy isn’t allowed to make other kinds of music, one (1) person said the new versions suck. Its really not that big of a deal.
