Comedy, Incredibly Catchy Tune Made From Windows Beeps

Los Angeles-based Amity are a punk band with spunk. This five-track EP is a cool example of what many fans experienced this summer through the 2004 Vans Warped Tour. Speedy rhythms, anxious-sounding vocals, and blitzing guitars are what the EP relies on. And with tunes such as “Paralysis by Analysis”, and “Deja Blue” carrying as much force as they do, it’s almost impossible to not be engulfed by their emotion. 2
Split is a stupid name for a really excellent band. The part of the band’s music that is metal-flavored is the best slice. KILL THE MESSENGER is full of thrash and death-metal moments, including well-thought-out explosions, good timing ideas, and ripping execution. And then the chorus will be emo, that emo singing style of holding notes out in a specific soft kind of way. And the chorus also being sung in a bit of a round or intertwining vocal parts. Since 7 - 10 Split didn’t do any all-metal songs, every song sucks and every song rocks. If you are into the Oprah rock that is emo (telling your sad sad story?boohoo) with metallic, thrashing rock, get in line to love 7 - 10 Split. Drop dead or get therapy. 1

It might not seem fair to compare the two shows, as one is a straightforward terrorist action drama and the other is a character-based supernatural drama, but who cares. The bottom line is, one show delivers the goods, and one show strings viewers along interminably and pretends to be “about” something. 4
Lost for longer than Paris Hilton’s virginity, the “Versus” post here at Orotundity is due for a comeback. With the closing of the Winter Olympic Games for 2006, there’s a prime opportunity for a comparison that seems to be bandied about all over the place. Friends, bloggers, sports talk radio — everyone seems to like to debate which set of Olympic events is better, the winter or summer games. Some people take a particularly America-centric view of the games, using the two weeks as an excuse to be even more sarcastic than normal. Others demonstrate their loathing of the Winter Olympics through brevity. Others comment that the Winter Olympics are essentially programmed for women, focusing on figure skating and human interest stories. And paid journalists are even suggesting that football be added to the Winter Games to make them more interesting. 3
Angry for Life’s SHARKS AND ROACHES screams out with passion from the opening guitar riffs of “Ashes” and doesn’t stop until the album is over. With this album, you get straightforward punk rock filled with social and political commentary. The band keeps things interesting with tempo changes throughout. There are also a few slower songs, such as “High Life”. When a band showcases two singers, you tend to lean towards one or the other. It has nothing to do with the band’s abilities, though. 5
Blackouts were an ’80s Seattle post-punk band that most music aficionados have never heard ofuntil now. HISTORY IN REVERSE is just that: an anthology of the band in reverse chronological order. The album opens with Blackout’s last recordings (which were produced by Al Jourgensen (three Blackouts would later join Jourgensen in Ministry)) and flows backwards through some highlights from their six-year stint. While this may not be the most impressive lost gem you’re likely to hear, it is a great find, so go scold your hipster friends because the only blackouts they know come from excessive drinking. 6
Both shows have dumb blonde women. s is Jack’s daughter, Kim. Any 24 fan can regale you with stories of Kim’s misadventures through the first two seasons. She is at least laughably bad, as when she was caught in an animal trap and attacked by a cougar. Lost had Maggie Grace, who was just a cringingly bad actress. 7
There was a spike in 207 activity in the Sammy Petrillo Case. Sixteen years after closing the file, Shawn Patrillo stepped forward claiming to be the prodigal son of Sammy Petrillo. Hailing from Yonkers, New York, Patrillo settled in Dallas, Texas where he took up ventrilo–hold on. 8
When it comes to straight-ahead hardcore, you either cut the mustard or you don’t. More often than not, factors such as sincerity and passion will push a listener one way or the other in regards to a band of this ilk. Cast Aside tend to fall into the in-your-face category of abrasive hardcore, like Embrace Today, Terror, and Hatebreed (an increasingly common comparison). While it is hard to pan something as straightforward as this, it is also equally as hard to get extremely excited, as this is standard fair, pissed-off hardcore that tends to be easy to forget when you listen to things back to back. In any case, Cast Aside hold up the flag of straight-edge hardcore, and do it proudly. 9
