This Ship has Sunk

2008-05-13T10:32:00.000-07:00

Sinking Ships announced they were breaking up a few weeks ago. They will be playing 2 last shows, both at Fests. The first is at Rain Fest here in the NW on the first day May 23rd in Tacoma, Washington. The 2nd and final Sinking Ships show will take place at Sound & Fury in California this summer. Not really the best way to go out in my opinion at that fest as there are so many bands that play that.

Here is what the band had to say about breaking up:

Just a quick note on breaking up. Sinking Ships has been a band now for four years. It has been great and I don't think anyone would trade it for anything in the world. But of course, life keeps happening, and there have been a lot of serious things happening in people's lives that has made it pretty much impossible for us to keep going as a band. I'm not gonna go into details, but it reached a point where playing shows local or abroad just couldn't come together anymore. Breaking up always sucks, but it has to happen to everyone sooner or later.

As for the final shows, we're playing Rain Fest and Sound & Fury because our long time drummer Andy Rice will be at those shows, and with Andy currently residing on the other side of the country, it makes these the easiest shows for us to play. Plus we wanted to play a local show and also to play Sound & Fury, which is partially booked by Bob Shedd who has done more for our band than anyone on the planet, so ending Sinking Ships at his fest feels like a good natural way to end things.

thanks.

This Seattle melodic hardcore band I think has always been viewed during their span as a mediocre band that flirted with being something great. I personally still do think they are merely mediocre. For the first few years it was viewed as Champion Jr. as it featured the younger brother of Champion's vocalist Jim, Danny, on vocals in Sinking Ships. After Champion's breakup and with signing to Revelation they were their own monster. Yet many NW fans feel they never were able to capture the same I am going to say awesomeness that was the first demo. Even the band says that in some blog of theirs at one point of how the new songs are closer to the demo then any others they wrote with the exception of the vocals being better.

This band has as stated been around for 4 years. I have been lucky enough to see them after each one of their releases. After their demo was out on Excursion, after Meridian came out on Run for Cover records, after Disconnecting came out on Revelation and the last time I saw them was shortly after Ten and S/T 7" came out on Revelation and Sinking Ships Records respectively. Odd that I don't see them till after a new release each time and when i see them at Rain Fest it will be for when i see them after their 3 -way split with Sinking Ships /My Love/ As We Let Go which came out as a CD on Alliance Trax in Japan.

You can hear some tunes up on their myspace.
This band only played in Victoria once sadly and it was shortly before "Ten" was released. They loved playing here it seemed and a member stated "Playing here is like playing europe" or something to that degree. It was interesting.

Despite my saying that i felt they were mediocre at times this band will be missed and well be remembered here in the NW and perhaps by the fans they got on their tours around the world.

2008-05-12T14:21:00.000-07:00

Once again here on a Monday.

What will the focus be this time?

I feel I didn't give enough focus to Sinaloa's new album Oceans of Islands a few posts ago.
It was kind of just tacked on at the bottom of another post.
Since that post i have received copies in some form or another of 2 of the 3 albums i talked about in that post. (Verse and Sinaloa)

The Sinaloa record i ordered came with a sweet tshirt as well (which you will see my sporting occasionally around town)

Here is the album artwork again!!
WHOO!
On their myspace you can hear 2 of the new songs from this album as well this band posts the meanings to lyrics on their myspace!
What else can I say, probably one of the more accessible bands that in this scene i may post about. Indie Kids could so get into them.
They have had numerous releases since Fathers and Sons in 2003. Including splits with scene stalwarts Ampere and Daniel Stripped Tiger and Catena Collapse and on labels like Ebullition, Clean Plate and most recently Level Plane.

ORDER this album, or purchase it in some way.

or even download it.

"...(h)E(a)D banger kids eventually"

2008-05-07T15:34:00.000-07:00

I guess i usually post about hardcore related things....

Well last thursday i saw Nail Salon at the Brickyard, saw only their set before leaving for Lauren A's birthday show. I was blown away really. I wasn't expecting it to be that good i guess.

WELL IT WAS. Aaron of Colourbook/Dreamboat fame + Talia of Young Lions/Onaping Falls. Basically two people the Old Life scene here in victoria.

The packaging on the CD alone was well worth the purchase. You get about 5 songs and 4 interlude / street figher 2 songs (they took various midi's and put them through some synths) Like seriously catchy songs, about Candy, Kid things, Ninja Turtles ETC
SRSLY has been all i have been listening to at various points since i picked it up.

Check out the Tracks Tape Deckz or GANGZ on their myspace HERE

I only got to see a few songs as i did miss the beginning of the set. I know i did hear Street Fighterz and either Tape Deckz or Gangz live.

Maybe I am mostly surprised as i find sometimes Aaron's dreamboat sets are lacking.

Yeah keeping this badly written article short. Check them out they are on some kind of Mini tour, message them and put on a show for them!

the action index presents...

2008-05-05T13:57:00.000-07:00

Before I get into the main topic of this post. I will say i hosted 2 more shows over the weekend (saturday 3:30pm-4:30pm and Sunday 4-5pm) Sunday turned into a Hardcore show just out of who came to the station with me, it was really packed and was a fun hang out with Tyler (of Pterodactyl Sneak Attack Fridays 4-5pm), Jordan Foote (Vocalist for a potential new hardcore band in victoria), Camilla Keen (writer for The Shaved Orange blog), Miles Chic (Victoria musician who has been in projects ranging from The Dirt On, Young Lions to currently the Bassist for Kincaide).
It was good times in studio on sunday filling in for Ryan of Carload of Whatever.

No tracklisting to post.

The purpose of this post however is inform people of some confirmed shows i have upcoming this summer. A lot of bands got back to me over the weekend so here we go!

I forgot to do this last night, so basically this list of what I played is going off of memory. I was in a rush to leave as I had a very packed evening. Which involved going for dinner, catching Nail Salon at Brickyard Pizza before rushing over to Sugar to wish Lauren a happy birthday as well as catch Cobras Cobras Cobras set. Overall a well timed night. Today I have a few things I have to get done, the poster for my May 16th show is now finished. Hopefully if you live in Victoria you will see them up around town. I haven't mentioned this show in my blog yet so here is the first time! Basically the return of Grave Maker from their Central America tour, also now recently signed to Ryan of Outbreak's label Think Fast! Records !!!!

COUGAR DEN

2008-04-28T12:50:00.000-07:00

I feel it will be awhile till i actually use this blog as i meant it to be used. Which is say what i played during my hour on the air (which is now 2.5 hours now that Kevin is gone).

Have Heart posted a new song up on their myspace called "Bostons." It is off their new album to be released on Bridge 9 later this year titled Songs to Scream at the Sun.
Their last release, The Things We Carry, took the hardcore world by storm. For some they were just another Hype band but I did get the chance to catch them twice in the last 2 years and they do bring it to a live setting. The new song is definitely different, the vocals are what really stands out at least in the mix of the this song (look for guest vocals from J.D. of Shipwreck A.D.).

So many new records coming out this summer on Bridge 9, which doesn't surprise me they kind of took the backseat in the world of hardcore while Deathwish Inc pretty much was the top label for all of 2007 and so far of 2008.
Bridge 9 has new releases coming from Ceremony, Have Heart, Verse, New Found Glory, among others.

Verse also have a new track titled "The New Fury" up on their myspace.
This track is more a continuation of what was on their last release From Anger and Rage which was put out on Rivalry Records. They last played Vancouver at Go It Alone's last show back in December. Some of the new songs were played there. This new album is Verse's first out on Bridge 9 having had all their releases out on Rivalry before this. Aggression was recorded with Jay Mass at the Getaway Group and Kurt Ballou at God City.

Now i will get away from the typical modern hardcore and into a pre-order i am still waiting for is Massachusetts' Sinaloa. The new release, Oceans of Islands, is out on Level Plane. This "emo" band has been around for a few years now and done a few stand out releases, well the Ampere / Sinaloa split is the main one that comes to my mind.

This Thursday I will try to remember to put up my playlist.
I may just start doing more posts like this as well as start uploading files to listen to.
and i will try not to limit it to the hardcore i listen to but also include all the skram/emo/indie rock/pop/electronic stuff.

2008-04-15T12:14:00.001-07:00

Once again forgot to do this.

So hard to remember.
I will make some kind of reminder for next time.

Last week i did however play from start to finish the new Blacklisted.
Heavier than Heaven, Lonelier than God

Check that album out.
This Thursday I may not be in.

2008-04-08T11:40:00.000-07:00

A month of inactivity.
Sorry about that.

I would always forget and then trying to fill in what i played later never really works out.

Hopefully this thursday i will remember.

I will be filling in for Nathan of Music of my Mind from 5-6:30 then doing my regular slot 8-9.

so another 2.5 hour show night!

Hope you tune in.

2007-12-10T11:34:00.000-08:00

First post is going to be my choices for top 15 HARDCORE albums of 2007
Which on a future radio show later in Dec. I will most likely play bits off of all these albums!

mp3 samples will be added later tonight!

1.Lion of Judah - Universal Peace
YoungbloodWow. This record was a recent discovery for me, I never knew a whole lot about LoJ but now I am completely sold on them. This record is fresh, a style of hardcore that currently I am really enjoying. So much I have messaged LoJ asking them to come to the NW on their next tour. Hope all goes well! These DC natives make use of influences of Bad Brains, Quicksand, Burn whatever else you want to compare them to, and lyrically nail it too.

2.Go It Alone - Histories
RivalryFinal Album. Sad to see this band break up, but their last show was amazing, and this album remains as a fine example of their song writing abilities. In a recent interview with Mark he cites influences such as soundgarden and damnation ad for this record. This is clearly heavier than previoius GIA albums, and is worth picking up. Too bad no one will be able to see their live performance now that they have broken up.

3.108 - A New Beat from a Dead Heart
Deathwish IncWhat an amazing return for these veterans. First record in probably 6-10 years for this Krishna band and this just... wow.. Deathwish has put out so many good records this year, but this new record from 108 is by far the best, and if it wasn't for LoJ and GIA this would be my top pick of the year.

4.Soul Control - Involution
RivalryFor all the reasons I loved 108 and LoJ's albums this year is also why Soul Control is high up here. With members of Verse, this Rhode Island band is heavier than LoJ, with a strong philiosphical message in the lyrics. More comparsions to burn, quicksand,etc hah

5.Champion - Different Directions: The Last Show
Bridge 9Sure all the songs on this live album are old but being at this show makes this album very amazing. Also the fact that for a live hardcore album it sounds really good. the dvd that comes with it is well worth the watch! look out for stagediving!
6.Down To Nothing - The Most
RevelationNow for some mostly typical hardcore. Typical Lyrics, and hardcore that just hypes me up! shit. Wish i didn't miss their set when they were in Seattle. This bands first release on Revelation. Check out this album and songs like Higher Learning

7.Allegiance - Desperation
RivalryAllegiance's final album. Well most likely. They just played their last show in the NW ever at GIA's last show. When i first got this album it was on constant rotation on my ipod on the way to work, and while i was painting. It was my summer music. Especially with songs like Summer Relief and the rest of the album. Its short at 20mins long so just the right length to not get bore!

8.Get The Most - Moment In Time
Crucial ResponseI LOVE GET THE MOST right now, this could just be about all 3 albums for all i care. as their demo got repressed so it counts! ha CHECK THIS BAND OUT. I wasn't sold till i saw them Live.

9.I Rise - Down
1917Another band that like Soul Control and Lion of Judah i got into around the same time as they all had were bringing back mid 90s style of hardcore. I Rise are a band with former members of Youth Attack, that i really want to see live.

10.The Geeks - Everytime we Fall
Get Outta Town / Thinkfast!I don't even know if this album came out last year or this year. oh well South Korea's The Geeks are perhaps the best Youth Crew band out there (except behind Get the Most) this album sees a lot more originals.. i think their accents have improved too!! recently got the vinyl now too

11.Blacklisted - Peace On Earth, War on Stage
Deathwish Incoh man.. has this 4 song ep made me really eager for more blacklisted.. this band has just in recent years become really hyped and as it should be.

12.Ruiner - Prepare to Be Let Down
Bridge 9A lot of people were let down by this album (oh the irony of the album title) I however found the album well good. The production of it wasn't what i would expect. but Lyrically its still all here or well Rob's hate. LOOK FOR THEM IN VICTORIA IN JAN. put on by yours truly

13.Modern Life Is War - Midnight in America
Equal VisionStarting to grow on me, coming off of Witness this album seems weak and not as good. but give it time! just as witness had to grow on people. and live these songs kill!

14.Bracewar - Juggernaut
1917BRACEWAR! i passed over this band for much of this year. then bam! this band does similar style as Ceremony. This LP is gone and done in like 12 mins! shit you know its good

15.Crime In Stereo - Is Dead
Bridge 9Crime In Stereo are doing something so different from what is normally on Bridge 9, and doing it well. I knew they were pretty pop punk influenced already or were going that path but wow. This is well produced and well written.
