I hear the Armchair Cynics signed with 604 records. Anyone know anything about it. If it's true it is definately well deserved. I knew it the first time I saw them. - Sun, 28 Sep 2003 8:54pm

Hmm... well if it's true then right on first Kickback gets a big deal now the Cynics. Things are sure picking up for the local bands. - Mon, 29 Sep 2003 3:58pm

Yeah, they just have to do the road work, and get the info out there. I've been saying that a lot of local bands are talented enough to make it over the last year, methinks a lot of bands don't know how to market themselves, or even have the time to market themselves, or are leary about making it bigtime. Hard to say. - Mon, 29 Sep 2003 4:50pm

As far as road work goes I think more local (victoria) bands are going out on the road and touring lately then anytime I can remember in the past while.

I can think of 7-10 bands off the top of my head that have done at least modest tours in the past 8 months, not too bad considering our cities size =) - Mon, 29 Sep 2003 5:11pm

What the F??? Have you retards heard the other bands on 604?? They sound nothing like Nickleback, nor do the Armchair Cynics. Congrats boys! Wouldn't it be cool if some dude who has worked with rock gods such as Ozzy, or bands like KISS and maybe most recently Chevelle liked your guys sound and wanted to work with you as well. Wow, that would really piss the local ass clowns off. There jealousy breeds hate but their ignorance is bliss!!! - Mon, 29 Sep 2003 6:54pm

Theory of a Default!

Ha ha ha.

I'm not a big fan of the cynics, but nonetheless you've got to be happy for them. Unfortunate about the label though. Nickleback is the ugliest manifestation in music today. the epitomy of everything wrong with music. Why must the Canadian mainstream be so embaressing? So many awsome bands exist, but it's always the lamest watered down shit that gets any play.

Canadian music could definatly use some dischord. - Mon, 29 Sep 2003 7:16pm

Hey, don't take me the wrong way. I have seen the armchair cynics a few times and I like them. They are pretty damn good radio friendly generic rock. I think it has alot to do with their bassist though, he keeps me entertained when they are on stage. I just like making fun of nickelcrack and all there clones. - Mon, 29 Sep 2003 7:56pm

I hope that at least one of the Cynics starts sportin' a mullet like Chad Kroeger's. How does he make it so that it always looks wet? Astounding. Good luck Our Lady Peace!!!...Doh, I mean Armchair Cynics!!! - Tue, 30 Sep 2003 3:05pm

Chad *so* does not have a mullet - mullets are generally characterised by SHORT FRONT BANGS which Chad does NOT have.

Just want to be pedantic here for a second, okay?

I was just being cynical. A thousand apologies. I would offer my congratulations too, except that most record deals don't merrit a congrats, but more likely "Oh my God, I'm so sorry."

They've been noticed so they must be doing something right. All the best to them in their endeavors. But don't tell me that C. Kroeger isn't sporting a mullet in that picture! If thats not a mullet I don't know what is. - Wed, 1 Oct 2003 3:48pm

Yeah, yeah, ok we're obviously gonna make comparisons to Armchair and Nickleback, but Theory of a Deadman apparently came out before Nickleback, and man there album is AWESOME! Invisible Man is one of the coolest tracks I've heard, it;s just a fun drunk tune, nuff said... And the only reason I like Theory is cause of the video for "Nothing Could Come Between Us", especially when the rig and the car wipe out all there amps, and the lead singer taps a piece of amp off his shoulder. This proves one point, a video can make or break a tune. - Wed, 1 Oct 2003 6:03pm

Dick Splint, Agreed, it does appear very much mulletesque in that picture, although I'm sure it must be combed back at the front and not be a real mullet... - Wed, 1 Oct 2003 6:09pm

LOL you are funny Griphin! I haven't laughed like that in a while! Yeah, like someone actually likes theory of a defualt! - Wed, 1 Oct 2003 6:41pm

The only thing cool about Theory of a Default is the lead singer's handlebar moustache. I'm all for rock stars with moustaches of any sort. If I were a rock star I'd alternate between the little Hitler moustache and the Tom Seleck full on comb it out moustache. In fact, if the Cynics want to sell more than five thousand albums they should all grow moustaches of various lengths and thickness. Just remember -the front man ALWAYS owns the biggest moustache. - Wed, 1 Oct 2003 8:18pm
