Hot Water Music is a damn fantastic band

[alachua]

That is all...

If you havn't heard them, and enjoy good, old fashion melodic punk rock, you are doing yourself a disservice.

hmm ill have to gice that a try

[the mike]

They are OK. They were on a split CD with Alk Trio that I got a while back.

[alachua]

That split is far from their best work. Two of the songs they do are Alkaline Trio songs.

If you like gruff vocals and bass driven songs, check out anything from their earlier albums. If you prefer a more polished sound, simply check out their web site, it has two of the best songs off their newest album playing on it.

If you dig em, shoot me an IM, I'll throw a few mp3's together for you.

Bad Religion is my favorist band evAr. Any album is a must for any Epitaph Records lovAr! :supz: :supz: :supz: :supz: :supz:

I have to agree with bad religion. I have like 6 of their cds and thats not even half of the collection. Greg grafin is seriously one of the smartest dudes too. Them live = excellent :supz: :supz: :rock: :rock:

[sesolcSTI]

I have all their CD's, alot of singles and b-sides, some imports, an autographed electric guitar, autographed drumhead, autographed process of belief poster, a rare uncle charlie signed Bad Religion concert poster.....heh, i guess that qualifies them as my favorite band. :supz: :supz: :thumbup: :thumbup: :partyman: :D ........oh and an autographed Empire Strikes First album.

one of my good friends used to do the Bad Religion E-mail list, and other assorted stuff for the band, back in like 95-96ish. He spent some time in Cali living with Mr. Brett. Though he stopped working for epitaph, they still hook him up with comps to concerts every now and then. Back in 02 he and I went to see BR play in NYC at the Roseland ballroom.

When we got there, my buddy told the guy who he was, and that he had passes waiting. The guy checked our ID's and gave us green wrist bands, which we assumed meant we were 21+. When we walked in, a guy standing by the stair way saw us and said "hey, you guys can head upstairs." We assumed that it was like the Troc in philly, and just had a bar upstairs. When we got up there, we realised we were wrong. There were about 10-15 people in the whole second leval. Looking out across the floor, it was packed, completely filled. We grabbed a seat about half way up the left side, and started watching the show. As a few more people showed up, we started hearing lines like "the plane from LA came in late", and other such stuff. Turns out we somehow came away with VIP passes, and were sitting around with the bands friends and family.

The show was absolutly fantastic, with both regular guitar players, and Brett on stage for the whole show. They played their usual packed set. Watching the crowd from above was weird, especially a crowd that big.

I happened to catch them in some little industrial park town in Jersey about a year or so ago, at a small ass venue. It was awesome to see them in what was essentially a medium sized bar. Still one of their best shows ever that I saw was when they played in Philly circa 99 or 2k. They played a marathon set, coming out for two encores. I still remember them leaving, then coming back out with a score in the Yankee's world series game, stepping off again, and coming back out with "yankee's won tonight, heres a few more"/

[Drftpretty]

yea, great band

[alachua]

uhh, what?

-Cliff

[bastid]

Agreed. I haven't gotten way into them, but I do love the song "Moonpies for Misfits"...

[3POINTONE4]

its just ashame that HWM broke up. but- 3 of them started the Draft, and I saw them a month or two ago at the church in philly. good good good stuff.

HOWEVER-

anyone who has listened to kid dynamite... check out none more black. they sound nothing like kid dynamite :lol: but the singer is the same. anyway... their latest masterpiece, "this is satire" is, i swear, the best punk rock album of 2006 (and yes, i say this two days before the new souls album). you can preview it on iTunes, but honestly, it's not one of those albums where you can get the feel just listening to little clips. you need to listen to the album straight, and it will unfold before your very... ears? yeah, ears. awesome awesome awesome album. :rock::rock::rock::rock::rock::rock:
