Haven't seen this one posted yet (but I might've missed it). Regardless, it rules and deserves another mention. Keith's still got it:

Just caught Bad Religion in Phoenix this weekend. Great mix of older songs and a few off their new album, which I really like too. Last time I saw them was 6+ years ago in New Jersey. You folks are way more mellow on the west coast than the NYC scene!
How was Rancid? Saw them once and dug it.
The documentary on HR from Bad Brains is good. Interesting guy.
Saw The Menzingers on Halloween in St. Louis at the Delmar Hall. Probably one of the best sounding venues i've ever been to.

Lovin' the hikes lately listening to old school stuff.

Been listening to these guys a bunch recently. Between the singing drummer and the guitar work their musicianship is pretty mind blowing

Reminds me of Rise Against and Propagandhi but fused togetherQuote:

Totally, combine Rise Against's tempo with Propagandhi's weird chord structures and rhythms and sprinkle in a little Eddie Van Halen tapping and you've got these guys.Quote:

The first three Vandals albums were in constant rotation in my college house; but the first EP is an absolute classic.Quote:

Saw Agnostic Front a few weeks ago. Stigma was great and I got to meet Roger before the show and he signed my copy of the 35th Anniversary of Victim In Pain. They take it to another hole different level.

Hell yeah. Dirty, Rotten, Imbecilic Houston Hardcore.
Who am I? D R I!
I still call them a Bay Area band.:wink:
I mean, you're more right than I am. But the Bay Area's had tons of great hardcore over the years. Houston... far less. Not even a lot in TX... so I'm claiming DRI.Quote:

All good. Just ribbin' ya. Back in the 80's & 90's, our(BA) cup runneth over with hard music. It was a glorious time to be alive.Quote:

The thrash scene was just so good. Testament, Exodus, Death Angel, Primus(call what you will but they were part of it), Violence.Quote:

I used to go to shows at The Farm in SF. An actual farm in the Mission. Circling was a big thing. One gig was TSOL a SOCAL band and the band was stunned by the circle: Bicycles, wheelchairs, everything. The circle was so big you literally had to climb the wall to not be in it. That was a cool time. Lots of old storefront gigs and stores. Anyone remember The Compound? Punk culture and fashion.

A course of action no one can fault you for. The Bay Area punk scene was good, but the thrash scene was world class.Quote:

Maybe that is where it became known as "The Pit".Quote:

I’m talking about circling. Not pit style. Think Midnight Express. It was not violent and pre slam. Never seen anything like it.Quote:

Some great times getting exhausted and gathering in a small group in the center while the pit circled around you while you helped pick up the fallen and get em back in the game. It was community.
Sorry about the thread drift.
Since we're talking about mosh pits

I saw them open for NOFX. They are a fun band and turn it up when they come on Faction. From the punk capital of Wyoming IIRC.Quote:
