...their name is too long.

Although in all seriousness, I really, really enjoy the band Please Inform the Captain This Is A Hijack. And it's been rather hard to meet anyone else who's even heard of them. If not, you all(or some of you, or a few, whatever) should really check them out. I'd describe the genre, but I'm REALLY bad at that.

Postcards from the Future = Awesome Song.

Never heard of them.  I know you said you didn't describe genres well, but is it poppy?  Brooding?  Serious?  Clever?  etc.

[Esotastic]

Hmm, more along the lines of a punkish, hardcore vein.

please inform is awesome. they're still around??

[Esotastic]

As far as I know, no. I mean, they only put out the six song LP, and after that they all went their merry ways.

Still, those six songs were awesome.

What is it with american hardcore/post-hardcore bands and ridiculously long names? I have this Revelation Records sampler disc somewhere (I got it free with an issue of Terrorizer for some reason) and it's quite frankly a bit ridiculous.

That said, I want to start a parody art-rock/noisecore type band, called 'The Number Twelve Looks Like The Locusts Plot to Blow Up The Eiffel Tower'.

Or at least a song.

I think it's a compensation thing.

However, plenty of american Post-Hardcore bands have nice succinct names.  Blood Brothers, At the Drive In, BearvsShark....all nice and succinct.

I think the main reason no one else is a fan, is because it's not the sort of thing you want to google or chat about on the phone... because that gets you 'noticed' :p

[edit] I can't find them on the interweb!! QUICK GIMME A LINK!!!!

Mwahahha, there AREN'T ANY!

I am the king scenester, I know of a band that trumps the minds of other kids. When they look at the shirt, they go "Oh, that's a band? Well...uhh...I've heard of them, I think. They did that one song, right?" they subsequently die after they encounter me, drained shells of former men.


I am the Darth Nihilus of music.


...

And "Drained Shells of Former Men" could be yet another post-hardcore band name. Although I'm not sure if it's long enough.
