11-14-2014 was rad as fuck!
cities tore it up a little harder than i've seen them before. maybe it was the atmosphere in there. groovin crystal clear bass lines, furious and fast drums, and guitar chord progressions that are layered such that you can't tell if the song is happy or sad; noisy or pretty; extreme or poppy; but one thing is for certain. its fucking LOUD
the strange ones were all energy. it wasn't really angry, it was more youthful and powerful; like that feeling of invincibility (or perhaps more correctly, the lack of foresight) you get when you're 16-22 years old. you're in the prime of your life, the prime of your health, prime of creativity, activity, sexuality, etc.
it was essentially that nostalgic invincibility all over again, doing something that requires maximum effort, and simply for the sake of. garage surf punk at its finest! truly tasteful, and true to its roots. it's not a hack job, and its not a rip off. its not even a tribute, or gimicky-throwbacky. it was fast, tremolo'ed and bathed in reverb, and the only vocals were high shrills.that may sounds like a black metal band out of context, and maybe that's why i loved the fuck out of it, like i do every time I see this band. classic jefferson.
man vs. man
i have a feeling we may bee seeing these dudes a few more times in the future...
female fronted blackened crust. need i say more? awesome crass imagery tribute and messaging. thoughtful and meaningful lyrics that transcend blackened stereotypes of what bleak or grim is supposed to mean. man vs. man ironically wants nothing more than to find an end to the divisions that make the pitiful humans compete with and destroy each other, as well as the entire planet
as described earlier, here is the second fruiting body: typhoid mary
