Things I don't care to do with my band, Waterboard

  1. SWEET MYSPACE BRAH: I noticed a local metal band the other day went to great lengths to trick out their fucking myspace page. This is usually the norm, but it wouldn't bother me so much, if they hadn't fucking just went apeshit with style within a week of their conception. Lord, when style takes over purpose. If they spent half as much time on their music as they did changing the javascript on their fucking website, then they might have some actual good music.
  2. MUSICAL (D)EVOLUTION: I realized that a lot of bands like Eighteen Visions had a really great start in their hardcore roots. The bands Lifeless EP is some of the best pissed off shit, I have ever heard. It isn't even really Eighteen Visions anymore at all! Same with Underoath. The band totally strayed away from it's first two cds "Acts of Depression" and "Cries of the Past". They now took the mainstream dick-smoker route. I get it after a certain amount of time you get bored with what your playing, but it almost feels like you've betrayed your fan base by giving them lackluster shitt music so you can satisfy that contract you have with your dickhead record label. If I feel like making totally different music then its going to be in a totally different band, fucking jesus.
  3. GOT SOMETHING TO SAY to PREACHY to INAUGRAL SPEECH: Perfect example of this is Seven Generations. That fucking lead singer talks waaaaaaayyyyyy too much at his shows when he's on stage. Now I dont mind if a band takes a minute to say what they're about to restate the obvious cause apparently the vegan-straightedge shirts go unnoticed by some, but god-almighty don't take a half-hour to talk about sexism, and veganism. Shit, we're not coming to a pep rally, we already know what your about we see the peta2 flyers on your merch table. Do you even understand half the giant-ass words that come out of your mouth, cause I'm pretty sure you don't (I wanted to be an english teacher for awhile). Shut the fuck up, and play your set already sheesh. PS. Seven Generations is possibly one of the most overrated bands ever.
