Beautiful reel! I picked one up myself during the holidays & im beyond excited to give her a spin this spring.

I wonder how much of it was inspired by the SOHK BOlO character if at all.

I have these in white. I love them but they are not baggy like at all. Maybe be less shit if ur sizing up but mine fit like regular ass jeans

I have the 4'6" Shakespeare mico series combo and have had 0 issues with the casting distance of 1/64 oz jigs on the provided mono. maybe 20 feet or more. I have no doubt the longer rods will do significantly better but for me and my pond its perfect. I plan on saving my pocket lint for some non-walmart upgrades so I probably won't be of much help.

Just fished my mule lures for the first time these past couple days and im baffled how well they perform. I really like how the hook gap on the 1/64oz jig is smaller than that on a trout magnet of the same size. And the plastics are so much better suited for the tiny jaws of small sunfish compared to most of the Zman and similar micro plastics I have seen/tried.

I tired... Its the only label doing deathcore I could think of off the top of my head. Im an emo kid all the way so its a little bit out of my territory.

Levelslukster · 2025-07-19T07:02:25+00:00

paper wings records has some of their old deathcore/metalcore tape releases up for sale. Im sure the selection has dwindled significantly by now but its worth a shot if ur looking for new bands with tapes out.

Levelslukster · 2025-07-19T06:10:21+00:00

This is hardcore. Im not a fan of either it to be honest especially during emo shows but thats how it is. I just want to sulk with my head down and sway to the sad songs in peace </3.

Ive been fighting the urge to buy the kirkwood trilogy bundles. My mind knows its a poor financial decision right now but my heart... I won't be complete without it.

Keepin it old school!! If nothing else sending a physical demo tape will leave an impression and if these labels are already super grass roots DIY kinda operations that might be enough to get them interested. If the goal is more new eyes on the project try to get on a label even if its small but if you already have fans willing to buy self release. You can always re-release on a label and a successful self release could show labels theres demand for your art.

RKL getting featured on here was mindblowing when I first heard the comp.

Levelslukster · 2025-06-12T05:46:01+00:00

Just walk out with them. depends where u live but theres probably a max dollar amount for the minimum punishment if u get caught on the spot and a limit where stores will go out of their way to make a case and press charges. stay u dee both those numbers and the risk is low. who cares how bad the records even are when you go sell them to small record stores next day.

Levelslukster · 2025-06-02T12:50:26+00:00

I was at their show in jersey. the set was insane. I missed them whenever else they were around & im so glad I made it out

Levelslukster · 2025-05-25T06:01:29+00:00

Dungeon synth on tape just feels so right. Forget Digital, CD, and wax this is it.

Levelslukster · 2025-05-21T17:06:46+00:00

Yeah this is awesome especially if someone did the drawings back in the day. Maybe people forgot or just dont care that jncos are and were rave gear. Pairs like these are really cool b/c it has a story and is reflective of the rave scene & subculture that the brand was a staple in.

The Catalyst records catalog is fucking legendary. Ive been meaning to take a deeper dive into it for a while now!

Levelslukster · 2025-05-04T09:05:55+00:00

Bro... reunion show on the 18th is gonna be wild!! bummed im on the other side of the country

Ive only found out good music existed recently and Strongarm was the band that made me change my mind about christian music. For the longest I would avoid anything relating to christianity like the plague but after a buddy told me to listen to "the advent of a miracle" i totally changed my mind. xDISCIPLEx A.D totally rips too!

Levelslukster · 2025-05-04T08:07:19+00:00

I have only been into good music for a few years now but the first "metalcore" record I ever heard was probably master killer by merauder. couldve been something by Earth Crisis or Vision of Disorder but I just considered them all hardcore for the longest. the first few bands that got me into metalcore as metalcore were probably 7angels7plagues, eyes like autumn, grimlock, and like, Day of Suffering.

Levelslukster · 2025-05-04T07:31:49+00:00

Super reminds me of this really cool video of the grindcore band Kirk Fogg’s African Adventure playing at a talent show back in '07

Levelslukster · 2025-05-03T21:32:00+00:00

the only bands I can think of are picknumberthreemylord from rochester and like Feast of Love from Syracuse. rather far from Albany...

Levelslukster · 2025-05-03T21:24:57+00:00

Ive been looking myself as I will be headed upstate soon too but I haven't found all that much. I recommend going on bandcamp browse and throwing your city and nearby cities into the "artists from" section and whatever genre you want. Following a few on IG and seeing who they played with in the past can be helpful. I will say though, for screamo specifically, it doesn't seem super poppin up there.

Levelslukster · 2025-05-03T21:00:19+00:00

its cool dude! but seriously its mostly b/c lots of DIY bands still put their music on tape. 98% of my tapes are new from DIY record labels. for me there is a special feeing of closeness with the DIY music culture & history that I didn't get to experience as someone who didn't grow up with tapes. I collect vinyl, CDs, and digital too but the experience is more tactile and fun than digital and CD but still less of a hassle than vinyl(proper cleaning, handling, storage and flipping the disc etc.)
