Shuuuuuut the fuck uuuuuup.
Hercules is one of the only bands around the midwest that is playing hardcore that isn't absolutely completely contrived. It's interesting to listen to, and from record to record you can hear definite evolutions and switchups on style. I fucking love the almost pv shit their new 7" has and that they're playing live (and here's a tip, good pv isn't mosh+blast like other fucking dorks in the midwest are doing) not to mention they have the best, hardest hitting and most interesting drummer in the whole midwest hardcore scene.
I also think it's funny that you're trying to call Shane out for not going to hardcore shows as if that mattered or something. The only show I can recall seeing you at in Des Moines since I moved away was the one where your friends stole the mics and pedals from the Haunted Basement. I mean, sure, yeah, I've seen you on your bike OUTSIDE of shows, but I don't think that counts for much.
Don't call people out on their hardcore show attendance unless you're supporting every hardcore show thrown in your scene (and in your price range) no matter what the style.
Can someone PM me the address for this show?
