i know this post is old ..
i love your list.
and im totally giving you the thumbs up for putting TERROR as number one.
i saw them in october and i can honestly say they are the best band i’ve ever seen live.
ha, no problem. they’re definitely one of the best bands i’ve ever seen as well. i’ll be seeing them again in about 2 weeks or so, should be fun! where did you see them in october?
oh wow.
i saw them in sydney
I’m severely jealous! I’ve been dying to see a handful of bands from out there, namely Carpathian. I’ll try to figure out how to save up some funds, but that won’t be anytime soon
.
oh wow!
well i hope you do eventually!
carpathian are amazing seriously … i met their front man his so extremely nice … he was travelling around with terror actually!
how was the terror gig?
terror got moved to a shitty city in the middle of nowhere, so i’m not sure if i’m gonna be going cause its like, almost 3 hours away. marty seems to be a good dude, i follow his blog, and he’s sent me some vinyl before. it sucks that the US has really shitty work visa fees, otherwise, i’m sure they would’ve toured here by now. the closest thing we get to aussie hardcore is when parkway drive comes this way
ohh damm that sucks
(Y) nice parkway.
saw them last week.
i got a concussion from that gig haha
well i hopefully they tour around the US soon
yeah, i sure hope! either that or i head out your guys’ way, which would be even more awesome
