Save Deep Elm and The Talented Artist that Inhabit it

I've been in the dark obviously. It never occurred to me that so many talented artist were in and around the Dallas area. Specifically Deep Elm. Bare with me for I am utterly intolerable with names so a lot I don't know but you can find the artist on this site. Just match the art with the name you lazy lazy bums.

Brand New's Daisy Review

Brand New has bought something new to the table yet again with this album Daisy, a huge step up from their 2006 release The Devil and God Are Raging Inside Me. From beginning to end this record takes on a impression of deception, fall, and deceit. Although thou this album feels like a revolving overall depression, it also feels like the sad but noble acceptance of the inevitable. This album is nothing less than what I ever expected of Brand New yet nothing more. Daisy takes on the direction that the previous album left off but takes a somewhat larger step. Concept wise, Daisy is Brand News' best album to date. In terms of music it favors the mood of the album but nothing increasingly impressive. The music aspect of this album is actually very similar to their previous.

Musicianship rating - 5.5/10
Lyrics rating - 7/10
Overall rating - 7.5/10

Stand out Tracks:
1.Vices
3.At The Bottom
5.Stole
7.Sink
8.Bought a Bride

I recommend this record to all who enjoyed The Devil and God Are Raging Inside Me.

Have Heart Last Time In Texas

September 2 me and my friend drove up to Austins and attended Have Hearts last show in Texas at the very comforting Emo's.One very great factor about this show was that the time between sets were quite minimal. I say about 5 minutes.The show began with a band called End Of A Year or should I say Self Defense Family because the band has recently changed their name.
The Band was a good start to a promising night with a kind of level headed punk sound that come off refreshing. You can check'em out here to hear for yourself.

http://www.myspace.com/endofayear (Self Defense Family)

So it began with Self Defense Family and soon moved on to Foundation who surely began to move the Foundation of the club. This was definitely the start of the hardcore night with hard hitting beats and strong effective guitar chords not to mention harsh tone vocals, Foundation very much is worth a good listen. Check'em out

http://www.myspace.com/xfoundationx


Next came Cruel Hand opening up with Life in Shambles turning a anxious Emos into a moving pit and stage dives. Sing-a-longs and heavy fist. Cruel Hand give off a lot of fucking good energy and played damn good to a crowd chanting songs.

http://www.myspace.com/cruelhand


Then Burst out Texas' own Bitter End and the end was fucking bitter, cause even thou I was fucking ready for Have Heart, I still wanted those guys to keep playing. The drummers a beast, the bassist is a Fiend, the rhythm guitar will move you and the lead will leave ya a little perplexed. I haven't seen any hardcore band use a psycho dell wah wah like the lead pulled off and its definitely worth hearing again.

http://www.myspace.com/bitterend


Finally, Have Heart. Long awaited last to see. The presence was vicious and so was the crowd. There are few shows where you feel like your apart of something great, that the band and the lead singer can make you feel like the world doesnt matter for that moment. Only few. And one of those few is calling it quites. Pat made it perfectly clear that there would be no getting back together or reunion shows or festival appearances. Have Heart is no more but fucking went out with a bang. My only wish was for the night to have lasted a bit longer. Have Heart played

To Us Fools
Watch Me Sink
The Unbreakable
Something More Than Ink
The Machinist
Watch Me Rise
The Same Son
Bostons
Pave Paradise
Hard Bark On The Family Tree
The Taste Of The Floor

Just not in that order
Maybe I'm a greedy bitch but I wanted a little more for a last show but I'm still happy with what was given because it was given with passion and nothing other.

http://www.myspace.com/haveheart

Over All. Good Drive. Good Night. Good Show. Great Venue. Great Bands. Half decent people. Except for those fuckers who like to steal.

Better luck next time Bitch!

The Casualties: A Short Review of "We Are All We Have"

First off, I'd like to say that I feel that this is the best record that the New York Street Punks have released to date.

If you feel that The Casualties are one of the bands that can never improve and add new elements to their sound....you're sadly mistaken. With "We Are All We Have" they have dabbled in elements of reggae in such tracks as "In the Tombs" and most notably in "Rockers Reggae". Don't be fooled, the fast in-your-face punk is still there just as it has been in previous albums and like it's predecessors the angry, hate filled vocals towards the US government, the rich, and the struggle of the everyday working class man are still intact.


Now, I've never been one to give five stars for anything, but I do believe this album is a solid five. If you have yet to pick up this amazing record you need to asap.


Stand out tracks

• We Are All We Have
• Heart Bleeds Black
• Apocalypse Today
• Rise and Fall
• In the Tombs
• Clock Work
• Rockers Reggae (Working Mans Dub)
