Defiant Hearts – Arlington – 6131 Records #09 – 2007

Defiant Hearts are from my back yard. Almost literally. How they ended up on 6131 Records out of Huntington Beach, California is a little beyond me. I'm puzzled by it.

Defiant Hearts isn't forging a new path or breaking new ground, but what they do, they do well. A little melodic hardcore on a snowy morning is just the thing to brighten the spirits. If you had been in my living room, you may have seen me doing a little skank during Old Hosmer. Thankfully, this album isn't bedroom moshing material or I probably would have spilled my latte. Shit, illy is so fucking good. This album is a little illy, actually. One or two Right Brigade riffs might get you moshing though.

And, I just noticed they are playing with Permanent this week in Boston. Very chill. See you there?

Apologies

I don't know what is going on with my host, but something just isn't right. I've got a few inquiries on it, but no reply yet.

Two Things …

This will be brief.

First. Today, my new best friend hooked me up with all these shirts. Best dude ever. That In My Eyes shirt is one sided. Hot!

Second. I'm selling a used Sidekick III. Buy it.

That is all. Peace.

Offsides to Tour this Winter

I got an email earlier from Offsides (CT's finest). Seems they are leaving on an east coast tour come January. I suggest you all mark these dates in your calendar IN PEN. Eff pencil, these are don't miss dates. If you recall, I reviewed their demo what seems like a million years ago. Read up and refresh yourself. Or just check my poor review stylee. Whatever is fine by me.
Connecticut's OFFSIDES offer female-fronted hardcore in the vein of 7 SECONDS or FLOORPUNCH (and perhaps FAST TIMES). The group recently released a split with RIPSHIT on Spicy Soup Productions - you can check out a couple of songs from the release, and some demo tunes on their MySpace page. A friend of Pastepunk will be on tour with the band in January; here's what the schedule is shaping up as:

Jan 4 2008 7:00P
The Peoples Center w/ No Harm Done, Trample, Years From Now New Haven, Connecticut

Jan 5 2008 7:00P

Seasonal Ebaying

Ah, Ebay. Time to make some money for snow tires again. After sliding past the stop sign at the end of my street, they are needed now more than ever. However, not having snow tires is a great excuse to work from home.

Mostly Shepard Fairey prints and a few shirts. I may end up putting up EPs today. We'll see. Check this link to see the auctions.
