Any one heard of the bands..

[tsc]

I've seen Yellowcard live.. I didn't really enjoy them. Of course, their music isn't quite what I'm into, so that probably has alot to do with it. I like Rufio, but haven't seen them live.

Re:AFI

Around Shut Your Mouth And Open Your Eyes/Black Sails in The Sunset albums, they went from traditional punk to 'goth' punk. After that they went towards rock (Girls Not Grey).

I spoke to Davey after a concert once, and he mentioned how he despised MTV/radio top 40 songs/bands. Well...I hear Girls Not Grey on the radio at least 3 times a day, and The MTV thing? Ow Davey, Ow. The band that opened for them said something wonderful.. "Everyone's saying AFI has sold out..man, they haven't changed at all..they still dress up in latex and sing about bats and [stuff]!" Ah, well. My favorite Davey line is "I wanna see my boys make some blood happen.." NOT ON MTV!

I can now say I liked AFI when they were punk.

(PS Davey in latex pants..hoo-boy. )

Edit: Wow. That was really incoherent. Sorry.

there is a def change and i think their most recent change is selling out, i mean they coulda stayed on nitro records and changed how they sounded btu why go to dreamworks for reasons other than money? and they have changed a lot. originally they got together as a misfits coverband and progressed to their first album in 1996 called "very proud of ya" which is really good but their new stuff is just no where near as good, but everyone has their own opinions, i was just listening to them before all of the change to the new label and have seen them change, i started listening to them around 1997 but its only my opinion.

So should they stay on Nitro and get little to no notice because Dexter has his head up his arse about promoting or jump ship to Dreamworks where they may get a better opportunity to promote themselves? Anyone that has ever signed to a label is a sell out. If you don't want to sell out, keep your music in your garage. Personally I say get paid for playing music that you like. Beats flipping burgers. Besides, any bit of Punk Rock that was alive died with Joey Ramone and Joe Strummer.

b/c all punk revolved around them so we should all just give up, punk will never be dead

Only in "their" music does it live. The self proclaimed "punks" of today think because they wear the clothes and play the style that makes them punk. It's way beyond that. It has to do with a time in history. Apathy is the order or the day and most of these kids don't care about the larger issues that the Clash did or just kick it out like the Ramones did. I mean c'mon. There is no comparison.
