So I've suddenly gotten into some sort of hardcore punk binge thing now. I like it. Highly recommend the Nerve Agents (east bay hardcore! right near me) since they're awesome and I saw them once live before they broke up.
Let's specify on that last entry. The Mars Volta's Tremulant EP gets 10 out of 10 and there is no discussion. Frances the Mute gets 10 out of 10. I would give it 10 out of 10 even if it was only composed of the 46-second-long track 11.
I bought Mötörhead's live album, No Sleep 'Til Hammersmith. It is thatawesome (that is the response you must use if anyone says something"isn't that awesome"). Some people say they're a bad band, but thisalbum really captures a whole bunch of RAW POWER and TALENT.
