Madly underrated, overlooked band. What a talent. I'd love your opinion on the following observation on the recording of modern music history because so far NOBODY has echoed my take and I'm starting to feel agitated about being the only one who sees this and cares. Okay: The era when we were playing J-Church albums whilst eating macaronic and cheese hungover in the backyard sunshine was the same era when 'emo' became a thing in the hardcore scene. Every fanzine had a take on 'emo' (as well as metal's increasing influence in "the scene"). Now of course, if you say the word emo-- and for time immemorial-- 'emo' will be seen as that silly rave-goth-hipster metal mallrat fashion, y'know, superficial fashion-fixated My Chemical Romance t-shirt wearing young teens. I feel like emo as I knew it has been erased from history. When this major-label modern emo came along it was NOT AT ALL born from the old emo scene. That's what get's me. It was NOT continuation of that scene, that music. Some people have made me face palm by going, 'yeah, it was just a new version inspired by the old stuff but reimagined'. Oh please. Every interview with young bands that I ever read made absolutely NO MENTION of the bands, the zines, the politics, the DIY networking, the fashion etc from the 1990s emo music genre/scene. I can't use the term 'emo hardcore' anymore because it seems that nobody knows what I'm talking about and entire paradigm has been erased from the hard disk. Thankfully, I still have the zines to prove that I'm not imagining things. Am I genuinely the only person who finds this alarming? I care about how history is documented and it's ultra creepy to see a decade and it's quirky pop-culture deleted from all memory and entirely misunderstood. Naked scrawny boys on My Space preying on dumb chicks with teased hair and coontail extensions and rubber neon jewellery who wear Motley Crue t-shirts without irony is not an organic evolution of the emo-hardcore scene as I knew it. It's another thing entirely that has just hijacked the label 'emo'. What's YOUR take?
When did they play in Morgantown wv ? At the Niabignghi ? 93 95 97 I’m sorry fir asking but that was one hell of a night both my folk that was there are now passed I’d just like to remember the year
Yes. They were on tour with Avail, Propagandhi, and Fabulous Disaster

This is Not Comedy, IT'S HARD CORE.
