Nice tunes, but the whole "trying to be shocking by being anti-PC" thing is played out. - Tue, 30 Oct 2007 12:50pm

"Nice tunes, but the whole "trying to be shocking by being anti-PC" thing is played out"


NOT TRUE.
There's far too many Noise Not Bombs types, infesting this city and it's music scene with their PC anti-racist, anti-showering, anti-job having crusty grandstanding.

It's still an "against the grain" sorta thing to be anti-PC here on the left coast. - Tue, 30 Oct 2007 9:41pm

There should obviously be room for difference of worldview within the genre, however I don't see Iskra tagging themselves as "PC" anything* (yeah even though members weear their politics on their sleeve). I think the music should just speak for itself. None of this "labelling" for the sake of dividing up fans. Martial Darwinism is a pretty awesome band regardless. Hope to catch a live show!

edit: * "Anarchist Thrash" from their myspace...i stand corrected about that haha. - Tue, 30 Oct 2007 9:57pm Edited: Tue, 30 Oct 2007 10:10pm

Hey, thanks for the feedback and adds!

Nick, if people feel shocked by our opinion (which is basically all we're trying to express) then that's great. Shock value proper is not what it's about. I have to agree with Endelos however that there is an abundance of PC crusties in this town. So many that their own little phenomenon is definitely played out, wouldn't you agree?

We want to kick ass and nuts with thrashing punk blackness while having something different to say. It's not even politics, fuck politics. It's what you think of your direct environment as a person. Not some safe restrained statement in the TC Letters section.

And as it happens it's also not something the crusty Red Faction would approve of. The moral and humanitarian crusaders who don't adhere to the public and scientific opinion on personal hygiene.

Thanks for the input though!


Right now we're not ready to do live shows. More celtic frostbitten stuff is being written and recorded at the moment while we weed out our old more straight forward punky stuff from a previous lineup. We'll be around! - Wed, 31 Oct 2007 1:21pm Edited: Wed, 31 Oct 2007 1:21pm

You said you didnt have anything political to say... but you started this thread with a kick in pc's nuts.. i dont get it. and endelos, are you suggesting that its WRONG to be anti racist? - Thu, 1 Nov 2007 3:19pm

Yeah you have valid points. I just want a relative "scene" for kind of "extreme music" to have barely any head-butting. But then again the atmosphere of the music isn't always allowing for that. - Thu, 1 Nov 2007 4:25pm

I don't recall anyone condemning anti-racism. The issue was political correctness. After the bar I worked at shut down trying to collect UI was exceptionally difficult and they made no effort to hide the fact that it was because I was white. 5 years ago when I was wrongfully charged I had to go to court to defend myself and my lawyer told me that if I was part of a minority group I would be judged less harshly. Frequently I've seen articles in the TC talking about government job positions available to applicants provided that they are not white. All this racism is due to PC fascist bull shit. How the fuck is that "anti-racist"? Sometimes it seems like everyone in this city tries so hard to not be racist that they go too far and wind up being as racist as the bigots they think they're so different from, but they're not. - Thu, 1 Nov 2007 8:28pm

"You said you didnt have anything political to say... but you started this thread with a kick in pc's nuts.. i dont get it."

Yeah, that's right. You don't need to present a whole opposing political agenda to go against "politically correct" whiners do you? Unless you want to bring the dictionary out. Maybe you didn't get the wordplay "Victoria PC" versus "BC".

"and endelos, are you suggesting that its WRONG to be anti racist?"

Can't speak for Endelos here, but what he said was "their PC anti-racist, anti-showering, anti-job having crusty grandstanding". Emphasizing their lifestyle. - Sat, 3 Nov 2007 1:12pm

Sounds pretty decent...but I don't really see how this is supposed to be all that offensive, or kicking anyones PC nuts (or whatever).
Someone clue me in??? - Sat, 3 Nov 2007 5:15pm

Most people don't know this but during the war Mr.Rogers was a sniper with 25 confirmed kills. When he started his show he started the whole long sleeves and sweater thing to hide his tattoos. I really miss that guy too. His show was a hit and he turned down numerous attempts and corporate buy outs. You gotta respect that. The best episode was the one with Lou Ferrigno. - Sun, 4 Nov 2007 11:09pm Edited: Sun, 4 Nov 2007 11:10pm
