Please change the title of the post to "pop-rock" band. Thats horrible, I was expecting to hear punk rock and instead I heard... very generic lame pop punk tunes. Thats absolutely horrible. - Wed, 20 Dec 2006 2:47am

Punk is more of an attitude than a music style. It's HOW you play it. That's what I believe anyhow. Don't let anyone get you down. Not caring is a very punk attitude so if someone doesn't like you...well, fuck 'em :) - Fri, 22 Dec 2006 10:47pm

I listened again after seeing andrews first comment, thinkin maybe i missed something... What happend to the chick singer? did I not make it to the right page or something? Better than what you had up before (if this is the same band). Pop-punk yes, but now that you admit that, I will leave it at that, as at least its not faggy pop punk, and pop-punk draws some people to punk rock (I listened to pop punk at one point in my life!)

Anyways brick park- lame name, neonbrownmusic- slightly better. Dont know what your going for there.

"just b/c its not 'punk' to you, doesn't mean they cant think its punk." Fact of the matter is, I can think I'm richard fucking simmons, doesn't mean its true.

And a big Futch you mang to Tobaccoian: The kids you are talking to create the all ages punk scene around here. They make bands, put on shows, get drunk and have a blast with all the other

And for the record, I love getting rides to shows. When you dont have a car, who wouldnt take a ride from their parents over spending almost a couple hours sometimes (well for me coming from highlands of langford)to get to a show? Should kids be cool to acknowledge the fact that they have parents?

One thing I am pretty proud of is every musical item i have ever had I bought myself. Even wehen I was fuckin 12 and first started gettin into punk I got a paper route to buy a guitar.

Let's get this thread off topic with big long winded time wasting messages!

my dad lent me the money for my fender but i paid him back with no interest LOL. parents that help rule...especialy when they let you use their little PA and jam room cuz they dont use it... :) we all get a little help from our parents and in my case it's "cause i love music and one day if u make it u can look back and say hey that old cunt really helped us out" lol. some parents are lawyers and can help u out with getting out of trouble and some are sound guys and can let u use their shitty gear.

hey dan, i listened to greenday during dookie/insomniac...or actualy it was a few years after but insomniiac ruled lol. i STILL listen to ignition/smash by offspring.

Very cool indeed, Jeffery
And by the way i guess i somehow ended up at the wrong page, the band I listened to had a chick singer. Still, funny how it was again a pop-punk band that i somehow got misdirected to. Teaches you there are more than enough of these bands.

I was not aware there were pop-punk shows in this town... Maybe I just dont hear about them? - Wed, 10 Jan 2007 12:24pm

It's all about respect for people putting their work out there. I respect your opinion but "that band sucks" not cool, espeially from a follow musician.Punk rock ,punk, who cares. I think Brick Park is talented and I wouldn't be surprised to see this band become huge. - Sat, 13 Jan 2007 8:11pm

That's pretty harsh circumstances. Bands need time to grow. I mean, we are all ripping off on bands we like and if we do it well...that should at least get the rating of "OK" or "good". If anyone was doing something totally new I'd be surprised. That's once in a million which I would give 40 million spines up. - Sun, 14 Jan 2007 2:10pm

S'me again.

First of all, i'd like to say that Howie, you're my hero.

Secondly, Jeff, the reason why the genre you play doesn't have many bands, is because it just simply sounds awful.

To ME, anyway. And to anyone that has any self esteem.

What else...

Ian Johnson's been hinting at an all ages show at the Sunset Room in February. Of course he sucks at giving details about these sorts of things, so i'll be sure that he keeps our 3 fans in the know.

Howie: You are a retard! "espeially from a follow musician" You have the wrong spelling for especially (there is a c in there idiot!) and who cares who he's following. You suck!

Cordell: I want some of that!

The band that i cant remember the name of: You suck too. Enough of this music you are shitting out.

Jeff: Your band rules and you kick ass for a long hair

Casperson: What the fuck is up with that RU? Im sure nobody pronounces the R, if they do, they are retarded (like Howie). They should change it. And that genre of music does sound aweful, but you are missing the point: It's incredibly hardcore.

Enough of my constructive criticism, retards. - Mon, 22 Jan 2007 1:38am Edited: Mon, 22 Jan 2007 1:38am
