agreed.


what's wrong with River City High?


first off, they're music is pretty bad. let me throw out a little RCH anecdote. My old band "boxingwater" was on tour, it was a DIY tour, a lot of fun, but no big turnouts or anything which is fine, whatever. We booked a show in Myrtle Beach at this record store on our way down to FL. about 3 days into tour we get an email from the guy at the store saying that River City High asked to jump on the show and he let them. We were kinda stoked, none of us were very big fans of their music, but we figured at least they'd draw some kids. We pull up to the show, and are met by Mark from RCH. He says, "oh you must be boxingwater, look, i don't think you guys are going to be playing, there wasn't as many kids as we hoped and if you guys play the show then the they're not going to be able to cover our guarentee". What? are you fucking kidding me. So they told us we couldn't play the show that was booked for us to play, because if we played, the owner would pay us, and not be able to meet their guarentee. True fucking story, but they were like, "you guys can totally come and hang out with us at the titty bar tonight"

fuck that band


The fact that anyone like that would be associated with a band like Strike Anywhere blows my mind. Gives a whole new meaning to "stealing the show".

NOFX is touring the east coast with D4 and the flatliners in late October.....I call NOFX performing under a different name and playing "The Decline" in its entirety.

talked to the only person I know associated over there and there is pretty much no chance they're playing at all...a couple of them might be showing up to watch other bands...but that's about it.

I walked into my local record shop and discovered a Boxingwater pin in one of their boxes. It's white with a hand holding a brick on it. He gave it to me for free haha

I was listening to Murder City Devils today for the first time in ages, I'd forgotten how awesome they were (are?)! I seem to remember hearing about a reunion a while back- are they properly back together?


I just got done watching the Murder city Devils Documentary & thought the same thing
