 I know they are not metal but I seriously don't understand this band at all. It's like they don't know what genera they are. On this one album I have only the disc of they have 2 very in your face heave punk songs with screaming in them. Those 2 songs kick ass. Then it has the song miss murder which sounds nothing like any of their songs I have heard(i like that song btw). Then it totally switches up generas and has some awful very very mellow emo sounding slower ballad type stuff and and rock type stuff. Are all their albums like this or do that have albums that are focused more on one genera. mainly an album with more of the in your face punk songs I like off the disc I have? I just don't get how not focused on one genera they sound and how they can have some kick ass heavy stuff but then have lots and lots of gay mellower shit. -------------

I´ve never heard of this band, and I usually don´t appreciate bands that are too eclectic in style. ------------- http://www.lyngby-boldklub.dk/" rel="nofollow - Forever TRUE - Forever BLUE! https://rateyourmusic.com/~UMUR" rel="nofollow - UMUR on RYM |

What's not to get? They aren't a good band and that's about it. |

Easy up there dude. There's lots of good words like "cheesy" or "lame" or "soppy" out there too. -------------  My Blog: http://kingcrimsonprog.wordpress.com/ |

^Yeah you´re right, we don´t condone the use of the word Gay, when used like that.
I usually use a word like whimsical or something similar to describe what you´re aiming at. ------------- http://www.lyngby-boldklub.dk/" rel="nofollow - Forever TRUE - Forever BLUE! https://rateyourmusic.com/~UMUR" rel="nofollow - UMUR on RYM |

| I like a few of their songs. i was brough up on pop punk and emo, so I have a soft spot for a few bands. And there was a time where the emo sound was being watered down due to its unpopularity, so the change in genre could be due to a confusion of what record companies and fans alike would want. By the way, being gay myself, I don't mind using the word "gay" as an insult. its almost like an adaptation of the word "camp" |

Hi Kwis, that's fair enough, but those gay relatives and friends I have generally don't like it. It's probably safer not to use derogatory words on here as a rule, even if used without malice or as banter. Keeps us all out of trouble.
