I got my tickets to the Edmonton show which was added last Friday. The show is taking place at The Aviary. Its a smallish venue so things are going to get pretty sweaty.

I like how the CL > preocc sentiment (rightfully) took over this thread to the point where there's zero reactions to the latter's new record, haha

I got my tix for chicago.

tbh i found out about the board through a stray reference to the "hipinion thread" in a comment section of some women video
i'm probably not alone in doing so :^)
That was good. What else is on?

I really liked the first one but couldn't name a single song off any of the subsequent ones, so maybe I'll give this one a shot?

I just like the new preoccs album so much because it's definitely a return to form for the band imo after new material which was a massive step back from the self titled, viet Cong and cassette which even though I really like decompose compliance and solace off that album the production was completely botched on all the other tracks and everything just sounded washed out and indistinct in a bad way which was super unfortunate because I bet most of them would've sounded far better live.

Back to arrangements though, I honestly love slowly, fix bayonets, death of melody, advisor and recalibrate, ricochet has grown on me a lot (even if it's hardcore new order/cure worship) and tearing up the grass might actually be in my top 4 preoccupations tracks alongside death bunker buster and memory, and the album just flows so damn well. I'm also super happy it's much more guitar oriented, and hell in general 2022 has been very good for post punky/underground rock music in general.

Fucking hyped to see them live in Seattle, also def gonna say hi to the flegels/the other preoccs boys if I get a chance.

Oh yeah anyone know about this band pat and Chris were in before women? I'm curious to hear it tbh

https://www.discogs.com/release/10684875-Pressure-Kill-Common-Style-Sad-Animal

I think the band used to be on myspace before all the music on there got removed but it's nowhere to be found and I hate using soulseek lol

I didn't love the last Blessed EP, but Salt and the earlier EPs are great. Looking forward to the new one.

Cindy lee was great had a couple new songs where they just had normal vocals without the pitch shifting effects. Preoccupations were good too, new album sounded much better live than on the album. Preoccupations were worried they were playing poorly, and they mentioned they had found out someone they new had died today so they thought it might be messing with their performance but they seemed great. Cindy lee was having some technical difficulties throughout but absolutely shredded on the guitar it was sick.

I’m terrible with song names but a major highlight was burning candle, I think the limit was also played but there wasn’t a ton of stuff played from what’s eternity to tonight.

CL just finished in chicago, awesome set. the new songs were so good, I wanted to live in them

the two older ones played were I don't want to fall in love again & just for loving you I pay the price. the latter sounded nothing like the studio version, no guitar and more of an upbeat girl group rendition.

but there was plenty of guitar in the set in general!

that alleviated my desire for the new record to be imminent, I think.
