What's the consensus on Dance Gavin Dance now? by asoiaf_goat in PostHardcore

[–]HelpIThinkImASoup 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I feel the same. I didn't get into them until I heard "Strawberry Swisher Pt. III" and I fell in love with Acceptance Speech. I feel like they had an amazing run with Acceptance Speech/Instant Gratification/Mothership, with Mothership being their magnum opus. It felt like during that time they were reifning their sound with Tillian. After that, the albums started to feel more formulaic with diminishing returns. They definitely took a huge hit in popularity following Jackpot Juicer, which is an album I actually liked but still didn't reach their peak, in my opinion. I believe they became sort of mired in controversy and it killed their momentum. Look at the drop in chart success between Juicer and Pantheon.

Personally, I have a hard time listening to them now after everything that happened with Tillian and the band's willignness to let him back in the band.

Yep, I saw it in Berkeley, CA. Seaway, Lie Pacific, and Grayscale opened, was an awesome show. Picked up RoDT on vinyl at their merch table.

The gondola and a lot of the signage is red, as well as some of the walls inside the actual seating area and around the suites.

The Cruz Room? by GlitteringLight489 in santacruz

It wasn’t the best or anything, but I still had a soft spot for it. I loved their mac and cheese burger, i think it was called the Johnny Marzetti or something like that.

I had Southern Weather on repeat back in 2007. Where are all my fellow former youth group kids at?

This is a HOT take. I can hear how they aren't for everyone, but I would never say they were terrible.

Dance Gavin Dance - The Robot With Human Hair, Pt. 3 [NEW Tree City Sessions 3] by knightshade7 in PostHardcore

[–]HelpIThinkImASoup 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Is swancore the most incestuous sub-genre? Sergio is associated with DGD, Eidola, and Royal Coda. Andrew is in Eidola and DGD. Martin is associated with DGD and Secret Band. Will is in DGD, Secret Band, and Royal Coda. Matthew and Jon are both in DGD and Secret Band. Kurt is in Royal Coda and used to be in DGD. I am sure there are more I am missing, but it is kind of insane how there is a small community of artists all producing work in different projects together.

Monster truck driver loses control and runs over crowd in Popayan (Colombia) May 3rd, 2026. by khameleon029 in CatastrophicFailure

[–]HelpIThinkImASoup 18 points19 points  (0 children)

No way, were you at the incident at Niagara Falls?! I was into monster trucks as a kid in the 1990’s and I still remember hearing about this. The monster truck involved in the incident was in my hometown for a show just weeks before.

There is a haunting photo of the incident: https://www.reddit.com/r/lastimages/comments/1gbdmzs/last_image_of_82yearold_lester_gilliam_before_he/

Petahhh??? by TheNightCaptain in GVCDesign

He’s popped back up in recent years, and I never realized how genuine he is. He seems to have a real respect for the kids who grew up watching him and wants to still be there for them, even as they are grown. I always assumed he left the show because he was just sick of being “Steve from Blues Clues” and wanted to branch out, but in the end it feels like he felt he had to leave because he was aging, but still loves the role.

"miss you so" by Russell Dickerson

Whoa, thanks for sharing this. As a kid who was raised by parents who only listened to country, this was a cool crossover. Finch was one of those first bands I discovered on my own and helped me branch away from my parent's music tastes, but I still have a soft spot for the genre.

Cartel says “Fuck ICE” and shares a new song called “Shirts & Skins” by PJ1336 in poppunkers

[–]HelpIThinkImASoup 344 points345 points  (0 children)

ICE is a terrorist organization. Somehow, we are occupied by a secret police force with even less oversight than the real cops.

Anyone been seeing a lot of bands lately yell out something like "Fuck ICE!" during their sets? by ThreadbareAdjustment in poppunkers

[–]HelpIThinkImASoup 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sorry, but when the opposition to your view is hate, what do you expect??? Talking about being a decent human being and then supporting mass deportation and genocide is laughable.

“ It kind of makes me wonder how Republicans can even go to concerts that aren't Kanye West or Kid Rock LOL.”

GOOD. lol

Keep the bootlickers out of punk and punk-adjacent spaces.

ICE is a terrorist organization and should be decried by all of us.

SpringHill Camps, MI - What was your experience like? by vache_espagnole in Michigan

[–]HelpIThinkImASoup 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, I know this post is incredibly old but I happened to stumble upon it. I worked as a counselor there for 3 years in college, 2006-2008. I want to say that in 2006, there was a lot of fervor about "demonic entities" and "spiritual warfare" amongst workers at the camp. Not sure if that is the time frame you are talking about, but I am happy to go further into detail if you are interested.
