soundwave '10

[Skanking Harry]

so i went to a festival called soundwave yesterday. and this is how it went

got in

went and saw rolo tomassi. they were ok

gallows than started, their sound was shit and i kinda wish i saw rx bandits instead

than i went and watched isis for 2 songs, i was bored

because i was bored i went and watched set your goals finish their set which was fun, i got there in time for summer jam which is a song that is way too catchy

i than went and watched the weakerthans. they were brilliant

i than went to the main stage to catch paramore but they started late and all i got was 1 song before i had to leave to see rbf

rbf were tight but it was a typical festival setlist so i was kinda bored plus the crowd sucked (hardcore kids like ska because it's fun, but they only know like 1 band and think running around in a circle is skanking)

i than went and watched the creepshow. i was pretty psyched on them since i havent seen a psychobilly band for quite a while. they were pretty good apart from the back up vocalist microphone not working properly

i than saw the first song of shinedown and left because they make me want to cut myself

i than watched anthrax for a little. they fucking did a cover of new noise by refused and it was good!

than the highlight of my day came on, the aquabats. they were amazing and i had alot of fun. mc bat commander was doing back flips and getting the security guards in with the dancing

i than watched whitechapel. pretty decent death metal. i was happy

i than went and watched four year strong. they were as fun as usual. their blend of pop punk and hardcore is fun for me. i think its kindof funny though that the hardcore kids would be watching quietly than they go into a breakdown and they all fucking go crazy than when it stops they just move off to the side again

i than went and watched a day to remember which i guess are a more extreme version of four year strong with mixing metalcore with pop punk. they were fun too but i kindof wished i finished my night with enter shikari, oh well

i than went home sunburnt and probally dehydrated since it was like a 40 degree day (that's celcius)

we had a bus organised by a friend. it took us over an hour to leave the carpark

Well [b][i]then[/i][/b], I gotta say – most of that line up would've made me more depressed [b][i]than[/i][/b] if they just got a guy to go up on stage and kill a newborn kitten every 5 minutes.

Sounded like a typical festival to me. A handful of good stuff in a sea of shit.

[The Wind]

And how. All for a half-hour each?

[Skanking Harry]

40 min to an hour each
