Hardcore and Politics

Posted in Life on October 6, 2008 by unlimitednights

In the most stereotypical way, these two do not mesh well together, the punks are notoriously supportive of anarchy. On October 14th the election will be held, and more and more every year, as we grow older, as we teenagers grow up and have more to offer the world. For the time being, we are still youth and we are still looked down upon somewhat, as socially and overall irresponsible. Being said, I think it is important for us to show initiative, show that you care, even if you don’t care. If you want to make a small but important statement, register to vote, show up and mark down a vote for every candidate, this will show that as a youth you have enough time, initiative and focus to come out and vote, but you just don’t give a fuck who wins or loses. On the other hand, if you do care about the political happenings in your country, vote your heart out, vote for the candidate you feel deserves it the most, make a choice you feel will do something progressive for the country and benefit the youth. Being 17, I cannot vote, but please to anyone who is old enough, go vote and do something about this all. I won’t tell you who to vote for, but go and make it happen.

Don’t vote Conservative…

College.

The repetetiveness is unbareable, the same drinking, the same partys with the same people and the same activities is absolutely mind numbing. That being said, I wouldn’t trade it for the world. Hardcore is undoubtably present in my life still and it makes me feel happy to know I have that consistency always. I need to do laundry. Please spread the word about the blog, if people care, I will keep posting things about hardcore, I have some reviews and interviews I can throw up if I need to. Spread the word!

Life, Activate

I am typing this from my desk in my room, my res room that is, I have just moved into college and am losing my shit I’m so stoked. I am going to Terror and Trapped Under Ice Monday, with Ryan and I might go to a punk show tonight. I still can’t believe I am here, as I type this, I have Bitter End, playing very loudly, and I just finished washing all my dishes. I don’t know what to say

Growing Up

Posted in Life on July 22, 2008 by unlimitednights

Everything we do is one of two things, action or reaction, do whatever it takes to be both, never be silenced, never let someone else tell you what to believe. We are who we are and noone knows whats best for us except ourselves. Overcome your obstacles, your fears, your greatest failures, be something you never thought you could be. Destroy the walls around you, fight anything that gets in your way, bite the hand that fed you, kill everyone.

The Standard Reaction

Posted in Life on July 17, 2008 by unlimitednights

It will never seem to lose the humour when someone asks me, “What kind of music do you listen to?”, “hardcore and punk”, I usually reply. They seem to be fine with it, and upon offering them a taste, they are more than willing. As the headphones slide on to their head, the same words are always spoken, “Not too loud”, accordingly, I turn it down a little bit. As the reverb at the beginning of a song, a cringing face is made, almost out of disgust, the face itself speaks the mind of the person, “How can you listen to this?”, which are not surprisingly the next few words out of their mouth. As the headphones are returned, they are accompanied by a small giggle and then it is over, the same thing that happens every single time. It will never lose its humour to me and it will never be disrespectful or annoying.

New Lows

Knowing that at the end of the work day I am going to go to a show and have the glorious chance to lose my mind with my friends is the best feeling in the world. When a band like New Lows come, you know it is going to be a good fuckin’ show. Accompanied by Eating Glass, four Molested Youth songs and the debut of Come Clean. New Lows set up and got ready with could be percieved as a sort of innocence, as if, noone knew what was about to transpire. As the few first notes were played, it began, one of the best sets I have ever had the pleasure to see, there was mosh, literally the entire set, from beginning to end, with each hard note, and every breakdown. Two girls even got their push mosh on, which by any standards was unreal, and before we knew it, the set was over. I personally dont listen to New Lows, but what a fun band, and what a fucking hard band. It is rare that I want to see a band badly that I don’t listen to, but I would love to see this band again…

WORD.
