PLAYLIST: Plaguelist #13: Capital Punishment: Albany Hardcore

1. Withstand – Eyes To Guide Them - …And Anger Was A Warm Place To Hide (1997) Withstand are my favorite band from Albany. I think I said that on another one of these, but seriously they were awesome. No one else sounded like them. Albany’s hardcore scene had a distinctly metal feel to it that never quite fit into the overall development of metalcore that was happening up and down the east coast. Withstand would shift from simple power chord grooves to intricate metal riffing and back like it was nothing, and vocalist Roger Zalucky had a totally original melodic yell that matched it perfectly. Everyone interested in 90s hardcore should know this band. 2. Section 8 – Broken Glass Memories – Nine Ways To Say I Love You (1997) If Withstand are my favorite band from the Capital region then Section 8 are a close second. Probably the most popular band within the scene, everyone around that listened to hardcore owned their two albums. Their second, Nine Ways To Say I Love You , is hea

PLAYLIST: Plaguelist #18: It Has Been One Year Since I Have Seen Live Music

1. Bonnie ‘Prince’ Billy and The Picket Line – Death To Everyone – Funtown Comedown (2009) (0:00) March 11, 2020 marks the last time I was at a live music event. I am someone who went to see some type of music on a nearly weekly basis, so it has been a pretty different year for me. That’s why I started doing these playlist things in the first place. But that final show was Bonnie ‘Prince’ Billy, and things were already pretty weird at the time. Unbeknownst to us, the shutdown was mere days away, but there was already a strangeness in the air. The show was poorly attended and awkwardly quiet, with the artists addressing the uncertainty of the rest of their tour dates. I can’t remember if they played this song or not, but it’s one of my favorites. The original version comes from the essential Bonnie ‘Prince’ Billy album, I See A Darkness , but here we have a reimagined version played live with a bluegrass band backing him. 2. Pinkish Black – Burn My Body – Bottom Of The Morning (2

REVIEW: The Damned Things - High Crimes

The Damned Things High Crimes ---originally published on Lambgoat --- More often than not, "supergroups" fail to live up to expectations. Whether it's unrealized potential or an abundance of hype, the coalescing of individually established musicians tends to fall short. The resulting projects frequently feel bland, forced and forgettable. The Damned Things' first full length, Ironiclast suffered this very fate. Featuring seminal thrasher Scott Ian of Anthrax, Keith Buckley of Every Time I Die, and emo-pop rockers Joe Trohman and Andy Hurley of Fall Out Boy fame (to be fair, both Trohman and Hurley cut their teeth in hardcore bands), the album offered energetic, fun rock and roll that never quite locked into anything memorable. The songs were full of promise, but ultimately never delivered. The Damned Things' second LP, High Crimes , comes nine years after their debut, but essentially picks up right where Ironiclast left off. There's no deny
