    This article has been imported from chorus.fm for discussion. All of the forum rules still apply.

    As part of my scene history restoration project, I’ve brought back a variety of historical AbsolutePunk.net interviews.

    I’ll update this post as I revive various other artifacts.

    RIP EmoPunkKid28: 2002-2016 Prestigious

    All of these are such a blast from the past. I can remember where I was reading some of these.
    The Andrew McMahon one reminded me of the I Will Fight rubber bracelets AP.net made- I was crushed when mine snapped years later.

    @Jason Tate This is really cool. I recall us discussing the reasons that you couldn't keep the old site as-is, so it's cool that you were still able to pull some of the content from it. The more the merrier! Like the walks down memory lane.

    Is there a place that all this is aggregated? Some kind of tag or something that we can use to find all of the restored content?

    @Jason Tate

    Would you be able to publish the interview with Matty Healy?
    That interview was responsible for broadening my music tastes, I'd love to read it again.
     
  5. I'll be bringing back what I can reconstruct or find. I am not sure of everything on there yet.
    This post will be updated with the interviews.

    @Jason Tate can you add the publish date or year to the title of the interviews?
     
  7. It’s on all the articles themselves, just like current ones, they were moved to their actual date of publication. Next to the author byline.

    Ah, that's cool. Thanks! Re-reading the Patrick Stump one, holy hell that interview is long.
     
  9. It was two parts at the time too. Crazy long one. (There’s a bug on the site I need to fix but hovering over the date on desktop will give you the full date and post time once I fix it.)

    Nice! Actually re-reading and remembering this stuff is so crazy. I'm nearly 30 and I've literally been reading/posting on your sites for more than half my life.

    Re-reading the FAD review. For some reason, I thought you wrote that back in the day but I definitely don't remember this being your style haha:

  11. Heh yeah I didn’t write that one. Tony did. Anything I wrote I kept under my byline (same with other people still around on staff).

    Hovering over the relative date will give the full hard date of publication.
