Sad Heart Posted February 29, 2016 Share Posted February 29, 2016 Cool story. Funny thing is they are one of those bands that I completely forget are a 'Christian' band, mostly dude in part from them being a concept band. I've seen them about 10 times, and I have never heard Dallas talk about it. Also, since there is a MATSOD thread (finally), let's see everyone's copy of II, and / or the 7".

mossy Posted February 29, 2016 Share Posted February 29, 2016 Thanks for the info, Dave! Yeah I have never heard them talk about Christianity even once over the years I've gone and seen them. I do remember a youth group getting pissed at them because they (youth group) thought it was a good idea to show the music video that had Danny Trejo getting hacked by the chainsaw.

jhook Posted February 29, 2016 Share Posted February 29, 2016 It actually is a cool story, they double booked this huge venue so a tour of them, Zao and Evergreen Terrance had to combine with a tour of Hatebreed, Napalm Death and The Black Dalhia Murder. The bands and mixed fanbases fought all night, it was great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonnystorm777 Posted February 29, 2016 Share Posted February 29, 2016 saw this band once, walked away after the singer starting talking about Jesus. Great we got a religious Bigot here! mmhmm, FlippingOut and NorrisNuts 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last time I saw them was in SLC with He Is Legend which was great, cause they pair great together, as you probably know (since they have similar styles, and have toured together, and Skylar filled in for Dallas for a few shows a while back - which has some cool acoustic versions of songs with him singing). I chipped my tooth on the microphone crowd surfing up to Dallas while singing the chorus of 'Caution: Dangerous Curves Ahead'. I refuse to fix my chipped tooth. Another time I saw them was with Saosin, back in 2008 I think. My best friend and I were among a total of like 4 people who were there for Maylene. They played first, and we all bum rushed to the front when the first note hit. So it was just 4 bearded fuckers going crazy in a crowd of teeny Saosin fans. It was so much fun.

Fridge Fox Posted February 29, 2016 Share Posted February 29, 2016 It's been said that Ferret sold out. Not quite sure to what extent other than WB buying a share of the label. The band I used to work for got an offer to be signed by Ferret right before they [Ferret] were ending, but signed to Good Fight as it was getting off the ground. Paul Conroy and Carl Severson (who used to run / work for Ferret / WB) started Good Fight Entertainment / Music. I know Carl and I've always been curious to ask him the full story of what happened. Dallas said (back in early 2015) that they would record a new album, and in Nov. they said they were working on it. It'll probably be an independent release. Maybe getting in bed with WB is what caused them to say 'fuck it', close down Ferret, and start new. I assumed they'd go independent as well but I caught an interview where Dallas said they weren't interested in fan-funding and that they wanted a label to release it. Things change though and you never really know what this band is going to do. Plus, that was like at least a year ago, if not more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhook Posted February 29, 2016 Share Posted February 29, 2016 Great we got a religious Bigot here! That's right! Don't use a form of music that exists for people that stand against your bullshit belief system as a way to package it to words young kids. I put this garbage up in the same catagory as Pat Boone, a total joke. Bladewillisisdead 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fridge Fox Posted February 29, 2016 Share Posted February 29, 2016 Wish they would press Chasing Victory's first album! Same. Plus the bonus tracks on Fiends are still ingrained in my mind as part of the album so it's weird to not see them listed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mossy Posted February 29, 2016 Share Posted February 29, 2016 Going to go ahead and put this here before the religion and bigotry talk ruins the fun for all of us. No worries, bud.

Yeah that recent-ish tour they did with HIL was insane!

Sad Heart Posted February 29, 2016 Share Posted February 29, 2016 Nice. I used to have a few MATSOD shirts like 10 years ago, but they all got too small. If anyone has the box with the shotgun shells, buckle, and flag, I'll be super jealous. Here is mine: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sad Heart Posted February 29, 2016 Share Posted February 29, 2016 Also, I'm hoping for a remaster since the original is pretty 'loud', but we'll see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mossy Posted February 29, 2016 Share Posted February 29, 2016 Yeah man, I got too fat for mine but I keep 'em around thinking i will fit into them again some day haha. One of my favorite pieces of merch from them was the chainsaw hoodie that also shrunk....I forgot about that splatter variant! I bought my copy of II from a dude on here that ran/runs a label called robbed the bank. Not sure if he is still around or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brianmorgante Posted February 29, 2016 Share Posted February 29, 2016 couldnt be more pumped for chasing victory! hope if this one goes over well that they'll pull the trigger on i call this abandonment! Fridge Fox and Klefki 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlippingOut Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 I used to have that Maylene 7" - was pretty cool. Super stoked on both of these albums even though I Call This Abandonment is about 100x better than Fiends.

Rottengoth Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 I would have bought this right when I seen the thread but they don't accept PayPal and I don't feel like taking that risk, especially with a release date of late June Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlexH. Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 Great we got a religious Bigot here! Man, you seem really sensitive about this subject, I've noticed you seem to go right to the bigot thing every time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sad Heart Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 I would have bought this right when I seen the thread but they don't accept PayPal and I don't feel like taking that risk, especially with a release date of late June I sent them an email asking why they don't offer paypal and if they plan to in the future. It's odd that a digital storefront in 2016 doesn't offer PayPal as a payment method. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sad Heart Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 Via Mike Condo in response to my email: "Have no plans to add PayPal. We used it for another store and had a very bad experience where quite a bit of money was held by them for about 6 months. So when we opened this site over a year ago we decided not to use them. You are the 1st person to question as to why we don't. Thanks I hope you still consider buying the albums from us." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonnystorm777 Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 Man, you seem really sensitive about this subject, I've noticed you seem to go right to the bigot thing every time. I just like pointing out the people who call a certain group of people bigots end up being a bigot themselves. It's also funny how people come into threads of Christian bands just to say how much they hate God.

When they were originally releasing Relient K albums they used to be called SMLXL Vinyl, and they accepted PayPal. Then they changed to Superfan vinyl and now no longer accept PayPal.

nevelsaynevels Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 I used to have that Maylene 7" - was pretty cool. Super stoked on both of these albums even though I Call This Abandonment is about 100x better than Fiends. Love Maylene MEET ME AT THE SHORE Give fiends another shot. I get why fans hated The sound change, but legitimately, fiends has some of the best production and songwriting out of a majority of the bands who put albums out in that era/genre. For me personally, the production on fiends is perfect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
