On topic, Parkway are pretty good, used to be a lot more into them than now. They were my first concert and the band that acted as a gateway into hardcore for me, so I'll always have a soft spot for them.
I don't really understand how this would be religious vilification? Nobody is being forced to attend and the show isnt out on the streets where people who may be offended couldn't avoid it.
I think you raise a good point about the anti-Islam thing. Personally I'd have no problem with it, so...
Not really my kind of thing in general but after hearing the insane amount of hype given to this album, and hearing Runaway and All Of The Lights on the radio, i decided to get this. People aren't wrong. Fantastic album, probably not best of 2010 for me (Rohnert Park by Ceremony was mine) but an...
I don't really have any friends into the same bands as me so I seem to attend almost all the concerts I go to alone. These are predominantly hardcore shows though, so it's pretty easy to get into it. Just standing around before and between bands sucks
Favourites
Damo Morris (RIP) (The Red Shore)
Luke Frizon (Jack The Stripper)
Davey Havok (AFI)
Perhaps a slightly different set of standards to most but eh.
Most Hated
Kasey Chambers x3
I wonder who would win if a honey badger fought a mongoose?
As a devoted honey badger fan, I do not hesitate to say the badger would make a mockery of the mongoose, silencing the doubters immediately.
I know we have the Best of 2010 thread but this is a slightly different concept. What band/song/artist/album did you get into this year that you hadnt previously? It doesnt have to be anything current, just what was a personal discovery this year for you, music wise.
For me, it would have to...
I'm thinking Trash Talk could probably play their entire discography in a half hour set.
Upon first glance, Melbourne doesn't seem to have any massive clashes which pleases me. Í'm sure some will emerge but I can see all my 'must see' bands.
Gen-D :), total minx

I guess it probably wouldn't really be considered punk, more hardcore, but I'm recommending Converge to everyone at present. "Petitioning The Empty Sky" is, quite simply, incredible.
A good thing I've noticed is that a lot of punk/hardcore bands include bands they like or were influenced by...
There's a lot of great Australian punk/hardcore going around nowdays.
Miles Away, Break Even, Extortion (all from Perth), Carpathian and Hopeless from Melbourne to name a few.
I'd also recommend Off With Their Heads, Have Heart, Ceremony (especially Rohnert Park) Polar Bear Club and H2O for...
:)
My top ten, in no real order, but the top five are a clear top five, others are less favourite, would be
Carpathian
The Red Shore
Brand New
Say Anything
The Amity Affliction
Polar Bear Club
Converge
The Get Up Kids
Have Heart
La Dispute
Though a few of those spots rotate depending on...
Re: Soundwave 2011.
Vaera are pretty tight with A Day To Remember and it kinda shows in their sound. Not exactly the same or anything, but similar style of pop punk. Not too bad, they had a few songs on short fast loud last night. The drummer is a pretty hot girl, i found that awesome.
Agreed. The same applies for me with downloading albums. Big bands have enough money already, small Aussie (or any nationality really) bands need the money and so I'll pay for it.
Re: Soundwave 2011.
Trash Talk! Amazing. As is Protest The Hero and rumours of Machine Head and Polar Bear Club are awesome.
Personally, I'm hoping for
Say Anything (could happen, album out last year, havent been here since.),
Murderdolls (also possible, I believe they have a new one out...
I want to hear this story. I don't much like my birthday though I do like presents. For me it tends to be that I feel like I should be having such an amazing day and stuff then it's just a normal day.
To me a lot of the disillusionment with a band after they become successful is due to the live show. When you see a little known band who you love, you can get up close, get a great view and maybe even meet them for a pretty small price. If that same band becomes huge, you'd go see them at Rod...
One I hate is when you go into a toilet, particularly on a train, and it smells horrible. You go in to take a leak then when you come out you kind of make eye contact with the person waiting to go in and just realise theyre going to assume it was you that made it smell that bad.
^I hate this. Seems like the only time anyone wants to shake my hand is just after I've washed them.
The sinks at my school are shaped in a way so they're almost like a spout aimed directly at your crotch. Plus the taps turn both ways, so if you turn them off too quick, you get sprayed.
