Name dropping here, but I spent this morning hanging out with Joey from House vs Hurricane. Really cool dude.

Common Courtesy is growing on me. Was a bit unsure after the first few listens, but there's some quality stuff in there. Right Back at it Again, Sometimes You're the Hammer Sometimes You're the Nail, Violence, Best of Me, Im Already Gone and Life @ 11 are great. the rest is growing on me.

Anyone else think there was less metalcore in there on this album? Still some very heavy albums, but it seemed like there was less heavy songs than past albums.

Yeah, it's definitely a bit more melodic than their previous albums. The bass riffs aren't as heavy and the drums have a lot less Toms presence.

Haven't heard the album yet, but wouldn't surprise me if that's the route they've taken. It was clear that's what they were trying to do with the transition of sound from Homesick to WSMFY.

But even WSMFY had tracks like 2nd Sucks.

Millencolin
Reel Big Fish
Amity
Hands Like Houses
Confession
Buried In Verona
Hand Of Mercy

Bands added to the Aus Warped line up.

Average. Would only see HLH if it came to Perth.

Now just waiting on those sideshows.

Has it been confirmed there's gonna be sideshows, coz if Crown the Empire did one, I would have literally zero reasons to go to Warped. As it stands, I'm considering it.

Perth are the only city getting Sideshows.

Well dicks.

Yes.

Whilst I love RBF and Millencolin, it's still too emo and sad for me to go. Much happier with the SW14 line up and got tix to that.

I'm surprised Bodyjar haven't been added though as they've just released a new album the first in 8 years.

Offspring
RDGLDGRN
Reel Big Fish
Millencolin

This is all I'd go to see and its not worth $99 +bf

HLH will probably do a tour after Warped any way.

I bought 'Nostradamus' by Judas Priest this afternoon. Holy shit what an album. One would either love it or hate it, at 102 minutes long it isn't light listening. Sort of the feeling you get after sitting through 'Aliens' for the first time.

Almost forgot this existed.

So damn good.

Just bought presale tix to QOTSA in Newy

Just listened to the new Loon Lake album. It was ok, nothing special. Pretty chilled out music

Melbourne sold out so fast it was a fucking joke. 2:13 for the band pre-sale, 1:12 for the General Release. So pissed I don't get to see NIN.

General goes on sale tomorrow for newy. I have a place you can crash at

Tempting but it's the same week as the Grand Prix.

EG just put me onto Mutemath. Definately worth checking out

Just downloaded the sound track for 'Get him to the Greek'.

Hilarious and some quality music on there. All the Infant Sorrow stuff is actually Brand singing, it's quality.

Saw these guys last night, they were awesome!

Being that it's Newcastle, tix will probably still be available in January any way :lol:

Loving Common Courtesy more and more with every listen. Great album. Probably my favourite ADTR record so far.

Nah, not as good as WSMFY.

I haven't listened to WSMFY in full for a while. IIRC, for me WSMFY was very solid the whole way through out but lacked a few excellent songs. Whereas IMO, Common Courtesy has kept the solidness whilst offering some brilliant songs like Right Back At It Again and Violence, which I think are better than anything off WSMFY.

In any case, that's 4 good albums out of 5.

:lol: you may not be wrong

To the contrary I found it to be the opposite. 2nd Sucks, Sticks and Bricks and All Signs Point to Fort Lauderdale are great tracks.
