ALL wasn't too good before Chad joined imo. Even the last early Descendents album ALL is pretty weak. 

 

I consider the early Descendents (which I really dig) a basically different band than the DescendALLs. Everything Sucks was an ALL album before they brought Milo in to sing on it and call it a Descendents record. The Chad version doesn't sound all that different.

 

It always seemed a little weird that Descendents would have huge shows but ALL shows were a ghost town. I saw Descendents so many times on that first comeback show. Although you did get the old songs w/ Milo of course so that explains that, but the entire lack of interest in ALL vs Descendents seemed odd to me. 

 

Breaking Things/Pummel/Everything Sucks/Mass Nerder/Problematic/Cool to be You are all ALL w/ either Chad or Milo singing as far as I'm concerned. I think that era peaked w/ Everything Sucks/Mass Nerder (and I liked Breaking Things/Pummel) but the one-two suckfest of Problematic/Cool to Be You really soured me on the DescendALLs for a long time. I don't know if I've really recovered. I still listen to SST-era Descendents all the time tho.

 

It's splitting hairs of course, I know. It's not like original Misfits vs the Jerry Onlys or anything. Or even Ozzy vs Dio Black Sabbath/Heaven and Hell. Peter Gabriel Genesis vs Phil Collins Genesis? I dunno.

the Daveage records have some fantastic songs, and the Scottage albums are pretty solid as well.

Cool to Be You is a great record.

This band doesn't get enough love. I know they barely ever play anymore but their catalog is amazing and, in some ways, is better than the Descendants. Thoughts?

When you factor in how uneven the early SST/New Alliance Descendents albums can be, I totally agree. Despite the fact that ALL had the occasional weird funk song(s), they had better albums from start to finish...until Descendents got back together. post-reunion Descendents albums are flawless IMO.

Welcome back, Who Cares?

PITY PARTY!!!!!!

The first record was awesome. Psyched to hear this new one.

first record was good, competent, but ultimately kinda generic 80's hardcore IMO. I expect this new record to be a lot better given DW's involvement...which generally is the case and why I will buy it.

This is up at Interpunk: http://interpunk.com/item.cfm?Item=208436&

 

should be up at No Idea soon too.

PP/VBS 7" is available from interpunk via: http://interpunk.com/item.cfm?Item=208882&

 

should be up at No Idea soon, too

the Rock > Vin Diesel

will wait, though saddle Creek seems like a weird fit for them...either way, rad band.

I'll check out some new tunes. Thanks.

 

EDIT...nevermind, somebody took them and was too cool to post about it.

 

 

to be fair, I did post that picture on facebook too

Here's a few free download cards to brighten your day!

Check out some incredible tunes from Cutman's debut LP; and the newer 7"s from Break Anchor/Unsinkable Molly Brown and Vacation Bible School/Pity Party!!!

if you miss out on the download codes, these are streaming (or available to buy at reasonable prices) at: www.undercomm.bandcamp.com

 

How is crowd surfing not on there?  Seriously, fuck crowd surfer.  I'm at the age now where I typically find a comfortable spot to post up when I watch a band and no longer need to be on the floor.  But if I am on the floor and you are crowd surfing, I give you my guarantee, if you get near my head, I will definitely punch you. 

I miss pulling crowd surfers shoes off and throwing them across the room

mine sounds fine

 

 

Yeah I don't recall there being any issues with it, but I'll check again tonight.

very well done!

Review from Razorcake:

 

Pity Party: Featuring Fid of the Measure [sA] and Joel and Cassady from Sexy Crimes. Spazzy and a little unhinged. It sounds like a confluential wave-crash of Toy Dolls and PS Elliot playing ADHD (as opposed to NYHC) hardcore —sweet, spastic, and time changes galore. TroubleCity, here we come. Nice. VacationBibleSchool: Chicago-styled, modern pop punk for the “please play more, Pegboy” fan in all of us. Beefy hooks. Peppy delivery. Dour subtext. Honest dudes. Clean, clear, and punchy recording. If this was the future that didn’t suck, a can of beer would pop out of the top of the record and open itself up at the beginning of the first song. Don’t take this shit for granted folks, because there are a thousand ways to fuck this up and two or three ways to do it right. –Todd Taylor (Underground Communiqué, undercomm.org)

No! I will not stand for this!

Yeah Cedric's voice would ruin Sparta.

Tried to take this, but it says the code is wrong. Not sure if that mean's it's been used or just typed incorrect.

I uncased all my CDs and have them in shoe box sized plastic cases and now are condensed and on top of my record shelves.

TMV was overrated, bloated and boring.

 

Having now seen ATDI post reunion, it's a joke compared to when they were around.
