Just Announced

I didn't see the other thread about JEW, but am surprised at the praise they are getting on the board; I found myself not wanting to like them but eventually singing along to the tunes of theirs that come on the radio.

I find JEW infectious, in a good way.

Not sure if this was posted before and am too tired to look for it:

THUR FEB 26- KOUFAX, THE POSITIONS $7 backstage 9:00 @ Black Cat

I saw Koufax open for another band a while ago and quite liked them.

Ditto to what Kurosawa just said (not sure if these have gone up already):

How is that record?

I always tossed them in with AFI, Evanescence etc.

Then I saw a pretty good review on Pitchfork - 8.0

I haven't heard the new record, but I've always thought they were just kind of a novelty act – a female-fronted punk band. The other releases are just kind of blah, and I thought their show was pretty blah as well. And generally I like straightforward punk.

Brody Dalle is hot in the weirdest way. I'm strangely very attracted to her. Great lips!

I thought I'd read quite a few raves about the Distillers on here before. I don't know them, but posted 'cuz I thought they were a board fave. In the "best albums of 2003" thread I thought they came up a lot…

Well they are one of Spin Magazine's picks for "Next Big Thing"

it was seeing them and afi with rancid a few years back that prompted me to think all the good punk rocks songs had already been written… of course afi rocks the world of many youngin's, so what do i know.
