I'll Breathe Every Breath As A Free Man

Been Livin' In The Dark Since April

Last night myself, Jakob and Aaron (Plus two girls) took a trip down to Cincinnati (Covington, Ky) to see a show. The show was one of the biggest/strongest hardcore tours I've seen in a while, and with a added bonus This Is Hell and support (Gravemaker) was added.


We got there late And missed all but one Convicted song. I was very bummed. Its been over 5 months since I saw them last (with Blacklisted) and I was hoping to get my mosh on (ha). Im pretty sure Gravemaker played next they were alright, I just wasn't paying to much attention to them (I know Aaron was into them). Now its been 3 and a half years (+) since the last time I saw This Is Hell. They were awesome. I like the band a lot but don't know their catalog as well as I should but they still ended up playing 3-4 songs I knew pretty well. Oh and I was taller then the guitarist and bassist when they were on the stage (something I found to be very amusing). Let Down played next, this was my third time seeing this band this year. No show will ever compare to the insanity of the Tower show (And they were pretty decent when I saw them in Romeo Michigan with Swamp Thing). But they played a good set. Stage banter was pretty good at points and I love the way they just say their name with straight edge as it goes hand in hand. Also I picked up the Tour version of their LP We're In This Alone (Six Feet Under Records) out of 80. Blacklisted was up next which surprised me because I thought they were bigger then Ceremony but that's a mute point. They were fucking awesome. I think this band gets better every single time I see them. People were losing their minds, it was great. Ceremony played next and though I do enjoy this bands earlier offerings I'm not to impressed by their last 7" and LP. They play sloppy angry hardcore. And at this show it came off very sloppy. Have Heart ended the nights festivities. I like this band. I don't love this band. A lot of people at this show LOVED this band. They were going nuts. So many people on stage singing along. The new record is really good. The last record was really good. Its very understandable why this band is so big. This show as a whole was amazing. I got to see some of my friends for the first time since I moved back from Louisville. A lot of my Cincinnati dudes. And had the pleasure of meeting a few new people. Wednesday I will be seeing this show again, and if In not lazy Ill grab up a disposable camera and snap some pics for the blog.


Oh and I picked up this awesome shirt.

Self-indulgence is the rule (selfish motherfucker)

Two for one doller, 16 OZ. IBC Cream Soda from the dollar store. Amazing. Oh and the weather is changing already, well sorta. It was about 70 degrees in the bed room when I got home last night after the show (I'll get to that later). All the dirt patches around the house are filled with ant hills. And the birds are back (singing their hearts out).
Now the show. Yesterday at about 5:30 Keith, I and two other souls drove to Muncie, Indiana. It was a three hour drive. And the show started at eight so lets just say we were a little late. We got their right as Convicted started. I was one of 10 people there that got into this band. It was my second time seeing them and I was pretty excited. They played four songs and in my opinion were awesome. After that I picked up a copy of their 7" (on Organized Crime Records). It's out of 30 with a One Life Crew rip off cover (so I'm siked). After that Blacklisted played. Once again they were awesome. I think I thought they had become a crappy band because of me seeing them one time at Bernies, but that place makes a lot of good bands sound bad (And it had been 3 years since I had seen them before that). And after the show we stopped at Taco Bell, 3 gas stations and a Lions Den that had a it's on group of christians hating on it. We stopped on the way in and the way out and made fun of them. But I think the dude running the lions den was almost as funny.

Tomorrow is my first day working at Sams Club. I will be under the employment of Wal-Mart Inc. And will work nights. This will eventually lead to me having money again. But will also make the amount of shows I will be able to go to will be very slim. I will be a making appearance at Youngblood Fest. Possibly at Modern Life Is War and at Surroundings (both in Louisville).

Now A look to the future of this blog and what it holds. Many of the old standards and some new faves. Old - Some dailys, some semi show reviews and random pictures that I take or find. New - Reviews of records, tapes and even merch. And most likely even more stuff I haven't even thought of yet.
