team up team up

 

i wonder when they will officially announce this and put out a single i doubt they will drop it with no promo

 

Their Twitter bio says 1.14.20 so maybe tomorrow?

 

Wooooooo, excited to have new music from these guys. I really loved the collection of reworked songs they released.

 

I hope it’s good...

 

Wonder if Keep Flying will be direct support on their next tour or if some other band will be on the bill between them

 

Hope they progress their sound. I’m in the minority but I love ISWSOF

 

That's certainly a different type of cover for them. won't be spending anything on tickets, merch or album sales but I'll check this out. hope they nail the stylistic change this time

 

slayer

 

definitely better art than the last go round, if still very ugly haha

 

Rise Or Die Trying is such a damn good album. They perfectly captured that easy core sound.

 

Hey please don’t support these guys, they actively employ JJR and continue to tour with his dumb band! There are plenty of other bands you can support


Also fuck Pure Noise

 

Can’t believe it’s been 5 years since the last album. Need new workout music!

 

Hey, you made the thread and posted already. Why did you post this?

 

Because I didn’t actually discuss any thoughts yet? Just info posted by me above. I’m also a fan and not just posting the thread to be informative.

 

Just a weird look after my post, ya know?

 

Ah can see that now that it was like half an hour after haha. Haven’t been on here since this afternoon. Not intentional!

 

Brain Pain?

 

2010 me would have been stoked, but they fell off so hard, that plus the Pure Noise thing

 

Interested in checking out the album but I'd be a lot more stoked for a 10 year tour playing all of Enemy of the World tbh

 

What happened with Pure Noise? Apologies for my ignorance.

 

Someone else could sum it up better as it has been a few years and I'm not sure about the details. Few bands from the label got called out for employing or being associated with JJR. Pure Noise didn't take the allegations seriously from what I remember, and even signed the latter's band.

edit: It wasn't JJR's band, the post below clears it up

 

The tl;dr situation is that two things happened:

First, Jake McElfresh, aka Front Porch Step, was accused of sexually harassing underage girls, including sending and soliciting nude photos of them, and Pure Noise handled the situation exceedingly badly.

Second, Pure Noise signed a band called No Good News whose drummer had been previously accused of sexual assault and then handled the situation exceedingly badly.

 

And being on Pure Nosie is one thing but like @OhTheWater said above, FYS still actively employs JJR as a tour manager and takes his band out on tour, providing him with both financial support and a platform. Pretty despicable tbh.
