For the past few months I had been hearing nothing but praise for Gallows, a hardcore band from the UK. I decided to have a listen and see what all the hype was about. Turns out Gallows are just a shitty hardcore band that might have fit in with the hardcore kids here 10 years ago. I spoke up about how shitty this band was to a few people and their response was “oh but the singer is crazy on stage” and “you should see the wild hardcore dances the kids do”. Weak. Hardcore bands with singers who are crazy live, and fans who hardcore dance are old news. Everytimeidie and Kid Gorgeous were doing it 10 years ago. I was pissed.
V-Fest came to Toronto this past weekend and the band I hear the most about is Enter Shikari. Another hardcore band from the UK that sound like local hardcore 10 years ago. Seriously, just because a band is from the UK and has an English accent doesn’t make them good. Stop worshiping bands from the UK just because they’re from the UK. These bands are horrible. Support your own.
Hahaha… i totally know what u mean about Gallows. I tried to get into them and they just don’t do it for me. Guess I’m a music snob.
