515 Crew

Since probably not everyone on here sees them, I'm going to start posting links to the reviews I write for Scene Point Blank. Just because I know you care.

This one just posted is for the new (International) Noise Conspiracy:

And if you want to see past reviews I've done, just click my name and they'll all show up.

how'd you get hooked up with that?

They put out ads a couple years ago saying they wanted some new writers, I applied with some of my previous reviews, and they accepted. It's obviously not paid or anything, but it's nice to have stuff published, even if it's just online.

A review of The Pink Spiders:

I also write for Sonic Swap, this neat music sharing website. Here's my first piece for them:

p.s. "Musical Shirpa" was not my doing.

i dated a girl who went to high school with the pink spiders dudes, only back then, their band was called silent friction.

lol, you like the Gaslight Anthem?

Yes I do, along with many reputable people. Get with it.

Ah, that explains why the singer goes by Matt Friction.

Never.
Cover For Want Of already dude.

Elliot, are you seeing TGA anytime they come through the midwest?

Joe wrote:lol, you like the Gaslight Anthem?

Hah...yeah....they are pretty terrible. All those Springsteen worship bands I really don't get (Gaslight, Hold Steady, etc.) But I'm not here to rip on what other people like I guess, even if those bands suck.

people i dont mean to disrespect: ELLIOT

but

i cannot seriously believe that someone older than me by a couple of years even wastes time acknowledging releases by bands like "The Pink Spiders" not only that but waste the time to write about that bullshit Exploding Hearts rip off

non-believable

does he get to choose?

Maybe. If we can get around to it.

Probably not. Closest date is Minneapolis, and I'm trying to not go nuts with spending money. Sam tried really hard to get them here, but to no avail.

The Hold Steady are indeed terrible, but Gaslight Anthem does it just right.

Okay, well you obviously DO mean disrespect, but luckily, your opinion means less than nothing to me. So no big deal!

p.s. Learn how to write sentences and paragraphs like a normal human being.

I actually had them send a promo copy of Pink Spiders to me. They let us choose what we review, provided that it came out within the last six months.

That would have exploded my balls. I saw he got Good Old War.

Review of Buried Inside's new one. Though this one isn't amazing, I highly recommend their older stuff.

I like elliots reviews.

That is a review by Zach.
