EAST 7th PUNX


Ugh - I fukkn miss rolling south and getting a face full of these bands. Everything on edge, everything alive, everything desperate...everything real. It was a time and a place, it still exists in some evolved form; there are splinters and sometimes they fester and people grow old(er) and things just...change. It's not bad, but differences are inevitable, and then the thing that grabbed you by the throat and woke you up is different. It's grabbing someone else. There is still a now and it is amazing, and there will be more, there will be an "again" and an "another," but this was a time - it was raw and it was special. TOZCOS, MAL PASO, MANIA, BLAZING EYE, BOMBSPLINTER, BEDBUGS, DOGSBODY, DAMAGES, GRIMA, RAYOS X...this wasn't the first wave. It definitely won't be the last. Just a time and a place.

Well i already told you i enjoy your way of writing, but this is pure gold. It would be a shame if these sentences don't end up in lyrics for a song. -Nekroboy

Much appreciated. I see "a shame" in the future though, hahaha.
