Fun Stuff > BAND
Favorite Label?
kikanjuuneko:
I just remembered why I hate all other hardcore kids.
My Aim Is True:
I like a handful of bands on Victory, but the label sucks ass for the way it treats the bands far more than for any crap they've released. I'm always worried when a band I like signs with them, not because I think their music will go downhill, but because I think they'll get shafted.
a pack of wolves:
--- Quote from: ebullientsoul ---Having seen the haircut brigade and Most Precious Blood live, there's quite a difference. Also, Most Precious Blood does not rely on "crushing breakdowns" to get their point across. Rob Fusco is also head and shoulders above the haircut brigade too, lyrically.
As for the Sick of it All 7", i'd say Victory started out well and went downhill quickly. To victory's credit, their promotion is ceaseless and they're enthusiastic. But it all is for naught if the music sucks. so it is for naught.
however, there's a conspicuous amount of good on Victory's roster: Streetlight Manifesto, Comeback Kid, With Honor and Darkest Hour. Sadly, its not enough to counteract the bad.

You're not selling me on Most Precious Blood, but fair enough. And there's nothing wrong with a breakdown so long as it's good, like the one in There Will Be No Amnesty by Kill The Man Who Questions.
I just don't rate even the old hardcore bands Victory started out by releasing. I'm not even a massive Sick of It All fan, although they have had some decent tunes and they're good live. As for the ceaseless promotion, well it would be wouldn't it? They're a professional label, they're just doing their jobs. It's not really something to recommend them. I'm much more impressed by all the DIY labels who do vast amounts of work for bands in their spare time.
I can't say I've ever heard Streetlight Manifesto or With Honor (although with a name like With Honor it's quite likely I have and have forgotten them, and I can't imagine them being any good at all), but Comeback Kid and Darkest Hour are tedious so if they're anything like them then it sounds like Victory business as usual.

I prefer Unholy/Cympophane and No Colours myself, though No Colours is more 'don't give a shit'.
