physically strong! MORALLY (not mentally) straight!:
Once upon a time there was a message board called Alt.Music.Hardcore. Imagine running a gauntlet of degradation, anxiety and fear, and you'll understand what it was like in the mid to late-90s. The key figures were true beasts of nature -- Nick Steffens, Debbie Lee and Jesse Cannon, with the occasional appearance from giants of the hardcore scene like Rick Ta Life. Eventually the social circle collapsed under the weight of its contradictions -- Debbie decided she wasn't meant to marry Nick after all -- and a series of lesser message boards and blogs attempted, feebly, to take the place of AMH over the years. Apparently one of them is this, which Gentle Ben introduced me to just now.
In the above-referenced post, Yakub's brother band R5 discusses a reunion, and Ben counters with the rumors of a Yakub reunion. (Sister-band Kovax, featuring drums by the New York Observer's Mike Calderone and vox by Joanna Angel, is apparently also in talks to reunite.) I can promise all that a Yakub reunion would be the worst and most unanticipated reunion ever, but I would still do it. A question for the readership: should your new band ever play on the same bill as your old band's reunion show? Get Talmudic. --Spencer Ackerman
I admittedly know nothing about hardcore. But is the post title a reference to a lyric that's a reference to the boy scout law? cause if so, I have to take issue... |
