Anyone else out there Irish?! Comment! I wanna know!!!

I'm Irish & proud. Lately I've been looking around for some Irish Punk bands, and I stumbled across some pretty good ones.

1. The Bloody Irish Boys
2. Flogging Molly
3. The Real McKenzies
4. Dropkick Murphys
5. Blood or Whiskey
6. The Killigans
7. The Mahones

Tell me what you think of them! I want to know!

So I've decided to get back into the blogging business, so I'd like to start off with fellow Pennsylvanians - At Dawn I Die, which I just found out is playing a show close to my hometown in a couple weeks - score! They're worth seeing if they sound anything like the song they have posted.

They do carry the distinctive PA Metal sound, also found in bands like Neocracy. They're riffs are almost like old Lamb of God, but overall they remind me of a Trivium that screams. Definitely worth checking out.

2007-07-20T15:40:00.001-07:00

This is something new. I just stumbled across Scurvy in the intricate, dark web of teenagers that is Myspace. I think I found one of those rare gems of "Wtf?". Yeah, that was my first impression, I admit, wtf, Pirate Core? Then I turned my sound up and it explained itself.

C'mon, who doesn't want to get on stage and scream YO HO HO AND A BOTTLE OF RUM?! I think this album should be mandatory for every Talk Like A Pirate Day. It pretty much rocks. There isn't much to say to explain the goodness; the sweet combination of heavy metal and pirates. ARRR.

The Grog Song rocks. Check it out. Just do it.

EDIT: Stage, not state. Ha.

2007-07-20T15:39:00.003-07:00

If theres one thing to be found in Pennsylvania (besides cows and Sheetz), it's heavy metal. Another shining example of heavy metal at its best, The Ruin of All graces us with the brutal cords from which your eyes bleed. It features the brutality of early Lamb of God aligned with the vocal structure of As I Lay Dying. Very enjoyable, brutal death by metal.

I'm proud of my Pennsylvanian heritage sometimes. Mostly at heavy metal concerts.

2007-07-20T15:39:00.001-07:00

Brought to you from the NYC I present to you One Last Shot. These guys know what they're doing with their guitars. Intricate finger play meshes well with metal-style backing riffs. The lyrics are catchy, and the drumming is very dynamic. Recipe for disaster, the good kind.

Any rock fan would enjoy this dark mixture of metal and hard rock.

2007-07-20T15:38:00.004-07:00

I love it when Tommy Gutless comes to Clarion. They're pretty amazing. They're new look at the old punk rock style. Happy, angry, yet moral punk rock that makes you want to jump up and down.

Sounds sorta like an slightly harder, edge-ier 1208. Something you want to look into

2007-07-20T15:38:00.003-07:00

Simple. Old school. I like what Gray Matter is doing. Remember the Sex Pistols? Life, Hate, and Music were simpler back then. So is this.

I love when music finds its way back to its roots. These guys are well worth a listen.

2007-07-20T15:38:00.001-07:00

Am I the only one that hasn't listened to Hanzel und Gretyl? I'm pretty sure I am. Where the hell have I been?

If you're looking for a better, angrier alternative to Slipknot, this is it. It's industrial edge mixes well with the nu metal. I am not particularly a fan of nu metal, so this is a pretty big compliment. And it's ability to send that dark, brooding chill down your spine earns it points as well. A very good mix of evil, as ironic as it sounds.

2007-07-20T11:28:00.000-07:00

The songs on Agents of Man's Myspace have something for everyone. Some screaming, some singing, some pretty wicked guitar. My first impression was of an old school sound, but each individual song seems to belong to its own genre of metal. And they're all good.

Some places sounding like Shadows Fall (in my opinion), some places Poison the Well, and some places just out of the blue - there'll be something you like. If you like music, you'll like them.

2007-07-20T11:16:00.002-07:00

Nothing like the "hardcore" that the Taste of Chaos tries to claim, Shattered Realm is Hardcore like it's supposed to be - in you're fucking face!

These Jersey boys make me want to head bang in my seat. The balance between the song parts is noticeably pleasing, and the drum roll compliments it well. Good composition mixed with good guitar. Not something easily found.

If they're coming my way, I'll be at that show!

2007-07-20T11:16:00.001-07:00

I just stumbled across Ali Baba's Myspace a few minutes ago. I'm looking through they're influences, and spot a few winners. I turn my speakers on, and I like what I hear.

The name of the first track, Jesus Saves, made me cringe inside. Uh oh, Christian music. I realized it wasn't so and breathed a sigh of relief. The guitar kicks in and the vocals growl in a way that puts a smile on my face. Good job.

Kind of like Leftover Crack, but more homegrown. Check them out.

So you say we're the best of the cutthroats, well, tomorrow we will see. While the rest of you put up with what they do, ITS NOT ENOUGH FOR ME!

I think that someone should cover that song. Seriously. Every time I listen to it, I feel sad that I'll never see them play again. :(

If you do not know that song, you do not belong in Clarion. Good bye.

2006-10-01T17:48:00.000-07:00

Student was searching for divine inspiration. Student walked high on the mountain of knowledge and came across God. Student asked God how to live as a college kid should. And God said unto him, follow these Ten Commandments and you shall be all a college kid is. And Student thanked God and it was good. And Student spread the Ten Commandments of College to all.

I - Thou Shalt Nap

And God gave unto Student a great gift - the gift of napping. God said unto him, you shall spend half your day napping. You shall nap in class, in your room, and in your friends' room. And God said, if you don't nap, you will not be able to stay up all night drinking. And Student said, nap I shall. And it was good.

II - Thou Shalt Get Sick All The Time

Now God said to Student, you must be sick all the time. Student asked, but why? And God said unto him, you shall share drinks, stay up too late, drink too much, and make out with people you don't know. Therefore, God said, you shall be sick all year round. But God said, blessed are the sick, for they have partied the hardest. And it was good.

III - Thou Shalt Write Witty Away Messages

Student asked, but God, how will I show everyone that I am funny? And God said unto him, thou shalt write witty away messages. God said to student, you shall never just say you are in the shower, you shall say you are getting wet and wild... in the shower. You shall never say you are at class, you shall say you are sleeping... in class. God said, if you do not write witty away messages, I shall smite you. Blessed are the funny, for they will get many girls to be their friends, but never hook up with any of them. And it was good. Mostly.

IV - Thou Shalt Wear A Hoodie

And then Student asked God, God, how do I look like a college kid? And God said unto Student, you must wear a hoodie, for you can wake up hungover, disheveled, and unshaven five minutes before class, pull on your hoodie, and no one will know the difference. And you shall never wash it either. Student asked what kind of hoodie it should be, and God said, you shall own one with your school's logo on it, and you shall also own many others of varying colors and creeds. And Student was pleased and God was pleased. And it was good.

V - Thou Shalt Shit A Lot

And Student asked of his bathroom habit, and God told him, Student, you shall eat at Food Service and you shall shit a lot. And it will not be a good shit, for it will be the shit of the devil. Your ass shall burn for hours. Your school shall put laxatives in the food and you shall feel their pain. Student wept, and God said unto him, Student, fear not the shit, for all your fellow students will be experiencing the same. And Student dried his eyes and thanked God, and God told him to use wet naps to ease the pain. And it was good. Mostly.

VI - Thou Shalt Eat EasyMac

Student asked God if there was any alternative to Food Service, and God said unto him, you shall eat a lot of EasyMac. It is easy to make and you shall not need milk or a stove. And student said microwaves were forbidden by the RA. And God said unto him, you shall hide the microwave under your bed with a towel on top. And Student asked, what if it is discovered? And God told him to stop being such a pussy. And it was good.

VII - Thou Shalt Hook Up

Student then asked of sex. And God said, Student, you shall hook up and be happy. You shall go home with random people every weekend and forget about them the next day. You shall see them at class and be awkward amongst their company. You shall exchange saliva at bars and parties and it will be good. And Student became gleeful and God told Student to wrap it up because He knows where she has been, but Student does not. And it was good.

VIII - Thou Shalt Join A Club And Never Go To Meetings

Student inquired as to what shall become of his spare time, and God reminded him that he should be napping. But Student said he wanted to do other things. So God said unto him, you shall join a club at the beginning of the semester, but never go to meetings. And Student asked why he should not go to meetings, and God told him, because the Glee Club is gay. And Student understood His wisdom. And it was good.

IX - Thou Shalt Wake Up Confused

God said unto Student, there will come many a day when you shall wake up in the bed of another and not know where you are. You will not remember what you did last night and you shall be confused. You will see that you have nipple rings and a tattoo now and are covered in Sharpie. And Student was disturbed by this, but God said, you shall tell great stories about it to your friends someday. And Student understood. And God took a sip of a beer. And it was good.

And God gave Student one final Commandment

X - Thou Shalt Gain Weight

And Student wished to hear the final commandment, but God said he would not like it. But Student insisted, so God said unto him, you shall gain weight. However, God said, you will not buy new clothes, so you will wear sweat pants a lot. God said, Student, you will watch a lot of TV and become fat to which Student wept profusely. But God comforted Student saying, you will still get ass even if you cannot tie your shoes anymore. Student felt better and God pointed to Student's chest, saying, those will soon be bitch tits. And it was good. Mostly.

This is the word of God. follow the Ten Commandments of College or you shall be smited!

HAHAHAHAHA. This makes me look forward to college.

I want them to be like awesome and successful, but I don't want them to go away. And in a year, I want to get the hell out of here, but... I don't wanna leave everybody. FUCK. akljfdklafjsdklj

2006-08-14T18:42:00.000-07:00

I love Warped Tour.

I met the Bouncing Souls, the Casualties and 8 Fingers Down. Quite awesome. Saw the Bouncing Souls, the Casualties, 8 Fingers Down, and NoFX. NoFX kicked ASS. They were hilarious. It was awesome. I hung around with Plu all day and ran into two other kids from our hometown and hung with them a bit too. Very awesome.

I am sort of sad, tho. I feel like I missed summer, because of Gov School. Soccer started today. I'm really not ready for school to start again. Its still summer. :( I dont want to go back yet. I still want to do nothing and sleep all day, which I cant even do that anymore because of practice at 8 in the morning. Bah. Fuck it.

It doesn't really even feel like summer anymore.
