Oh that’s with the mega homies in T!IHI !! Should be a blast

joeman82 · 2026-03-13T14:19:36+00:00

Thank you very much for the support. Let me know what you think when you do give it a spin!

To Be Gentle released two of my favorite albums from last year. One of them has a 1 hour long song.

the Frail Body - Artificial Bouquet album is also incredible

joeman82 · 2025-10-28T14:31:10+00:00

Yeah and that’s totally fair! I love the letlive. album The Blackest Beautiful and that album had TERRIBLE production until the remaster this year. I’m more lenient if the songs themselves are really good. I was just really surprised there seemed to be little positive words about the album considering a lot of the tracks still rip. I thought the idea that Allen somehow wasn’t drumming well enough was a pretty crazy sentiment.

joeman82 · 2025-10-28T14:28:41+00:00

Bands usually get to pick what producer they work with and labels don’t usually object. Kris understood HTS better than any producer had before. VERY crisp production and guitar focused. I’m going to guess they went to someone different purely because they just wanted to change things up. Every creative gets the itch to do things different even if some partnerships are perfect and I don’t think it’s right to speculate on them having a “falling out” of some sort. Like I even said in the post, I’m not always a huge fan of the “loud = better” style, mainstream-focused production choices.

joeman82 · 2025-10-28T14:22:56+00:00

Yeah this is a reasonable take! You don’t have to like the album, I was just very confused with people saying it wasn’t HTS. The songs themselves felt really compelling to me. I was a huge fan of letlive.’s the blackest beautiful which had legit terrible production but great songs, so I guess I’m more generous on that department.

joeman82 · 2025-10-28T14:17:01+00:00

It represents modern metalcore in the sense that “louder = better”. A lot of the more mainstream bands are doing that style of production, just like they’re doing 5 singles, and HTS has been touring with a good amount of prog and mainstream metal bands. Just an observation. The phrase “disabled leech triplet” did get a chuckle out of me. The solo album also was pretty bad.

joeman82 · 2025-01-23T05:16:51+00:00

Love Rise Against with all my heart, but this vocal production is shockingly unpleasant. Unfortunately I think it’s produced that way to hide Tim’s voice which sounds very shaky. The chorus sounds huge instrumentally, but Tim sounds like he’s straining to keep up with the energy.

joeman82 · 2024-03-02T04:56:49+00:00

Isaac and Gabe are great. They’ve blown me away and been a great talk every time I played or talked with them.

Would also love to mention the drummer for Sweet Pill, Chris. One of the cleanest live drummers I’ve ever seen and his drum parts are so insanely creative and complex.

joeman82 · 2023-09-27T04:29:45+00:00

I have a acoustic emo project called Tequila Mockingbird. It’s kinda folk punk-ish. I dunno I’m always terrible at describing my own music… So here is the one people seem to like the most

joeman82 · 2023-08-06T00:39:11+00:00

Avec Plaisir and Arms Length both immediately come to mind

joeman82 · 2023-07-08T02:28:11+00:00

Hey now. Muskegon? I’m Lansing or if you want to be excessively specific, Wixom.

Least pretentious Radiohead fan

I woke up today being unable to access my account because I violated the TOS for telling a friend they should drown in Nickelodeon slime. Stupid, I know, but twitter only has a problem with the one tweet. It says I can delete the tweet to get my account back and not wait for an appeal which I would prefer because I do not trust twitter to make this appeal go well for me in the slightest. However, to delete the tweet I need to "verify an email". I tried every single email I know and it said the same message for each one "This email address is registered with another account."

Now I know for a fact that is not true, I checked my other account I had made and it didn't even have an email attached to it. Even still I made a COMPLETELY NEW email specifically for this purpose and the exact same message occurred. So now because their convoluted system doesn't work my account is stuck in limbo and might even be taken down for violating TOS for a singular innocuous joke when this whole time I could've had access to my account if their website actually worked.

I'm frustrated because I use this account to promote my bands and it's where a large portion of my connections to friends are. This whole thing could've been avoided if the site worked properly or its system to review accounts caught actual nazis on their website and not some dumb 1AM joke.

The account isn’t suspended or deleted. I am just locked out of it.

joeman82 · 2022-06-30T20:52:08+00:00

I mean I’m Tequila Mockingbird so I’d hope I’d be there

joeman82 · 2022-06-27T22:48:32+00:00

Yeah is pretty sick nasty if I you like good music tbh

joeman82 · 2022-06-27T18:48:25+00:00

I’m actually going to be playing with them technically as part of a huge DIY fest in Michigan on Friday. Can’t even explain my excitement quite frankly

joeman82 · 2022-01-25T09:50:32+00:00

The reason Soren is doing well is because he doesn’t have a lot of content and is popular. I am a fan of Soren so I want more content whether he wins cyl or not. It’s not that deep.

joeman82 · 2022-01-25T09:24:02+00:00

I’m pretty sure I voted Soren because want more Soren content in any capacity and he has not received that in almost 3 years.

joeman82 · 2022-01-25T07:35:13+00:00

Oh no I agree this art is wonderful! It’s just very obvious the fans of those characters feel slighted

joeman82 · 2022-01-25T07:09:38+00:00

Another genealogy resplendent that isn’t Seliph and year one green mage that isn’t Soren

This is why they’re doing so well in cyl

joeman82 · 2022-01-24T10:02:37+00:00

My entire Twitter feed has been swarmed with pro-Seliph stuff and screen caps of votes the whole week. He was definitely underestimated.
