Chiodos - American Post Hardcore

[Prime]

I just got told that Chiodos are supposedly hitting up Seattle this year. I haven't seen any tour dates. But I am hoping that's true.

 

[METALPRIEST]

Interesting band...alot of their stuff reminds me of AFI...

 

[Prime]

^Damn, haven't listened to AFI in a looooong time. But I can understand what you mean completely.

Here are a few songs from D.R.U.G.S (Destroy Rebuild Until God Shows). It's Craig Owens's new band. They released their first album last month. I'll be looking into making a thread about them very soon. But for now, i'll just use this thread:

 

[Soot and Stars]

Talking to my friend I believe I mentioned to you was the fan! He sent me Letters To Janell and this one which I absolutely adore:

Intensity In ten Cities

 

[Prime]

^Absolutely amazing song. Owens sounds fantastic in it, one of my favorites as well.

Some of Craig Owens's solo work:

All Based On A Storyline


Am I the only one that sees
Just how terrible she is to me?
While we trying to fix things for her,
She was wronging out to nothing.
But I was the one
Treated like a criminal for days,
Unaccountable words and feelings.
Left alone while the world
Said I could make her feel better.

All based on a storyline,
All based on a storyline.

So today I must say,
A part of me honestly hates you.
But still all I want is you,
And your love.
So come on and give it,
We both just forget it.
But when I look in your eyes,
I bet I see you feeling better.

All based on a storyline,
All based on a storyline.

All based on a storyline,
All based on a storyline.

All based on a storyline.

Big Apple, Big Heart!


i'm about to get on a plane to new york city
i'm about to leave this town that's left me feeling so empty
its just me and my guitar and my words
yeah, together we can take on the world
now i've been dreaming bout this since i was young
to get on that stage, i'll show them just where i'm from
and i'll show i'm only alright when i'm up there
i'm only me when i'm up there
as i pack my things i check both my empty pockets
and there's still nothing there
no, there's still nothing there
i turn to my left i see my mother crying
she says to me "why couldn't you have been a doctor or a lawyer?"
i say "come on, you know we've been through this before"
i turn and smile to her as i walked out her door
and i said i'm only alright when i'm up there
i'm only me when i'm up there
