they've played victoria three or more times, I think. I went to two of the shows but I'm not really into the band. they're like sort-of-hardcore, like some interlude sections in other hardcore songs. I'm still excited that they're getting kids interested in hardcore, it's a step closer from alexisonfire, towards the DIY hardcore scene that maybe you guys can start supporting. the singer in cancer bats has an orchid patch on one of his zip ups and that made me really excited.

if you like this band, check out the scene here in december/january. things are picking up - ruiner is coming, logs are coming, graf orlock and dangers are coming, trash talk might, ghostlimb are coming. and final verdict is putting out an EP. and so much is going on in vancouver/seattle.

Thanks Tyler.
I've been trying to "get into" hardcore for awhile now. I'm not quite there yet, but I very much like Cancer Bats, and I know there is more out there for me to get into, but I need help. - Thu, 11 Oct 2007 3:42pm

......alexisonfire did not do it for me. Are they even "hardcore"? - Thu, 11 Oct 2007 3:44pm

Pretty stellar debut album they released. I've seen em' twice and they rip it "hard". I talked to the guitarist when they played at Sugar and he said Liam the lead singer was doing some vocals on a song with The Counting Heartbeats, don't know if that was a huge secret or not. Guess not if he told me, fuck it. Rad band, werd. - Thu, 11 Oct 2007 6:15pm

"What does it signify then?"

Orchid is a band. It signifies that he likes a band that I also like. I have all three of their longer releases in both record and CD format, as well as a compilation of 7"s and splits, a 7", and a shirt.

"alexisonfire did not do it for me. Are they even "hardcore"?"

not really, but it's a stepping stone just like Cancer Bats are

"Liam the lead singer was doing some vocals on a song with The Counting Heartbeats, don't know if that was a huge secret or not"

I don't think it was a secret, Joshua of CH was talking about it a lot

"I've been trying to "get into" hardcore for awhile now."

A really good introduction will be the Dangers show in a couple months. - Fri, 12 Oct 2007 1:24am

They were good when they played with AOF.

Their songs are all kind of the same to me though..

But that video of them as lumberjacks slays.. - Tue, 16 Oct 2007 8:40pm
