Good morning. Consistently warm weather has finally hit the Philadelphia area, though I am not holding my breath and expecting it to last.
Last night I went to check out everyone's favorite hyped punk rock band of the moment, Gorilla Angreb from Denmark. I was excited because the band features members of Amde Petersens Arme, my favorite Danish punk rock band. GA was good, but just good. Not as amazing as the nerds are tellling me. They sound like a gruffer X. The singer is great and she has a lot of charisma and presence, but the live energy was not what I was hoping for.
Signal Lost played as well, and I thought they were great. Naked Aggression is the closest frame of reference I can get to. Good Naked Aggression, though. I feel like Naked Aggression was good 35% of the time, but when they were on, they were really on. Signal Lost is Naked Aggression when they were killing it.
Caustic Christ ruled. Great classic American hardcore. Political, pissed off and loud. Ragers from A to Z.
Left before the Subhumans played. All the 14 year old punks were stoked though.
My lady went to see a free Walkmen show. She thought they were boring and that their garb was pulled straight from the SS. Oh well. Live indie rock continues to disappoint in the 06.
