Ceremony-Rohnert Park/pageninetynine-Document #05/Coming Clean-2009 Demo

righty-o lets get right into this next one! first we have the newest album by the hardcore-punk band Ceremony. now from most everyone i've talked to this album was a miss for Ceremony. in order to give proper prospective on this you would need to have listened to Ceremony before this album, because Ceremony is usually a straight-up fast, thrashy, angry, hardcore-punk band. but this album differs in that sense because it is NOT a straight-up fast, thrashy, angry, hardcore-punk album. upon first listening to this album i hated it... then i gave it another listen afterwords... i found it to literally be one of the best albums i've heard since i first listened to Black Flag or The Germs! [yes it is good enough to be compared with Black Flag and The Germs] now i know your saying to yourself at this point 'fuck you, theres no way its that good'. well thats why i'm here, to tell you that is is, and then give you the means to listen to it and FUCKING LOVE IT like i do. now when the album starts with the track 'Into The Wayside Part 1' you automatically get a weird vibe from it, slow and brooding and whatnot. then it goes straight into the next track Sick, which is an awesomely written punk song. and not like a new-age punk song like Battle! or any other modern punk band. more like Black Flag age of Hardcore-Punk. then it goes into the next track 'M.C.D.F' which sounds almost pop-punk worthy because of its upbeat riffs. then the next notable track is 'The Doldrums [Friendly City]' and its like... alt-rock or something. but it sounds AMAZING. the rest of the album follows suit to the old hardcore-punk status. it is a great listen to those who are fans of 80's hardcore. from old fans of Ceremony and from people who have listened to them a bunch [like me] the opinion is that it is either a real miss for Ceremony or they should have put another name on the album other than Ceremony. i give this album a 9/10. at least listen to it once.

second album for this post is Document #05 by hardcore-punk/screamo band pageninetynine or PG. 99. now i would label this 'emo', but more like FUCKING AWESOME EMO. i've seriously never heard an emo band this good. i found this album through a mutual friend and it was an instant love of mine. most critics say that Doc #05 is the best PG. 99 album ever, because this was when they were at their pinnacle. they also say that their best song is on this album, the song being 'My Application To Heaven'. now when i heard that song i could FEEL the emotion in it. and then i went on a search to find the lyrics... every site i found only had the first 30 seconds of the songs lyrics, always ending on the line 'fuck you jesus'. powerful though it may be i still cant decipher the rest of the lyrics. so i found one of the old lead singers on facebook and asked him, but to no avail, he had forgotten most all of the lyrics from that band. and at the moment i'm waiting for another one of the singers [which the first lead me to] to respond to an email i sent to him, i will update this post as soon as i get the full lyrics [i wanna put the lyrics up cuz they are fuckin powerful]. anywho, i personally give this album a 10/10 a MUST OWN for anyone who is a fan of hardcore punk/good screamo music.

ok last album for this post is from a band that used to play local shows in Charleston, SC. they are called Coming Clean and they are a sludgy, hardcore-punk band. CC broke up about a few months ago for reasons unknown to me. the writer of the lyrics Curtis, has been in 1 or 2 bands that i've seen live many times but CC has to be the best. the best as in like one of the best bands i've ever had the privilege to see. everytime i saw them i just got so hyped and loved every second of their set. the one song that stands out to me in this demo is 'V', especially the last few lines. 'the holes in the sky keep getting bigger, the air its running thinner. so take a deep breath because it may be your last, fuck the present, fuck the future, fuck the past.' these lyrics impacted me so much to the point where i decided that they are going to be my first tattoo [spiraling down my right leg, starting at the knee]. so if you're in the mood for some low-fi passion filled hardcore-punk. get this album now. 11/10 a must hear before you die. i'll leave you now with youre new-found hardcore-punk albums. until next time, enjoy.
