Asking Alexandria & Mary Magpie
What I’m listening to this weekend
Alesana- The Thespian
Love um hate um cant dispute the fact that they take no prisoners. I honestly think they’re really getting stronger. Saw them for the first time at Warped a few years ago and haven’t lost my love. The video for this is awesomeness too.
Escape The Fate- This War is Ours
This sorta old, but the opening makes me feel like a rock God when I hear it open up when I’m driving. Not for the faint of heart. and kids don’t head bang in the car.
We Came As Romans- Intentions
Right out the starting gate it assaults you. I often listen to this while writing in my journal, its soothing. And I’m lying- this song is a stomp the hell out of the room good time. (ooo interviewing and seeing them this Friday oooo yay!)
Pierce The Veil- Yeah Boy and Doll Face
Sorta sissy start. So generally I will pass on it when it comes up. But its OK, just not the best on A Flair, actually I wouldn’t even consider this a hardcore song. Its cute… I ain’t feeling cute today.
Bring Me The Horizon- Chelesea Smile.
Now you’re talking. Here’s my son in law Oli Sykes before he started making t-shirts (please stop..please I beg you) This is great Sunday chore music right here, get your floors scrubbed in 2 min flat then get the fuck out and play.
Four Year Strong- Love Song
Well this isn’t hardcore its BEARDcore! From that silly little Punk Goes Pops comp. Its still fun to know the words and sing it all rough. Which I will do hey hey hey hey TODAY …
Asking Alexandria- A Prophecy
Metalcore from Yorkshire! ooooo I’m sad that I wont see them with We Came As Romans, they join up later. Why? Cuz nothing is hotter than filthy angry dark growling Brits…that’s why. I still feel sorta bad for lead singer Danny Worsnop cuz when we met them in September the kid had a wicked flu.. oops sorry ’bout that germ assault.
I Set My Friends On Fire- Things That Rhyme With Orange
This suggested by the kid, got it off the Warped Tour compilation. Starts off like a bucket of Bazooka but gets growly, but still sorta wuss for me.
Dance Gavin Dance- And I Told Them I Invented Times New Roman
This boy is in pain but the breaks in the song are so beautifully done it give you just enough time to catch your breath before going into yet another fit of rage.
Black Dalia Murder- Nocturnal.
This recommended to me by my boy Layne. This kid is all hidden cool. Til now i wasn’t familiar with BDM, but perhaps I should be. This is amazing drumming (AGAIN WHEN AM I GONNA GET MY DRUM KIT??) Holy God.. this is freaking beast. Its so fast so, so painful … its dark its true, its what Hardcore was meant to be, and nearly demonic…thats it, I’m hitting ‘repeat’
