Exasperation Missionary

Class for me just started and I am on a low buget so I needa get a job soon to buy shit for college. So Here I am on a post. I present one of my favorite Skramz of epicness. Exasperation Missionary (Anthony Jimenez) is my boy, the dude just got back working for this stuff again making a tape. He released a 6 track self titled EP in 2006, Dues Ex Machina EP in 2005 which has 5 tracks and a 2009 tour EP that has a live set feel of 4 tracks which were previous songs from from the first 2 EP's. From there, E.M wasn't heard til the end of this summer He released a mixtape on soundcloud called "Berdachism inside a storm" It has re recorded versions of tracks he has done already only with different names and much more of a raw attitude (which I like) he has told me that he is doing a total of 19 other songs I think which will be in 2 different releases an EP and a full length. I am fucking stoked thats all I can fucking say. This sexy beast can sure scream really fucking good. Its so odd that no one has talked about his new release from what I know of. Blogs totally fucking should cause this band is fucking epic. I found this band on Lyrics will not reach the audience back in the day in 2009. I would get high and trip out on the 09' tour EP. It was a classic back in my High School days. Fuck I think ima just get high to this shit again for old times. I uploaded E.M So Far discography 2 Ep's, tour EP and that new mixtape all together. Also If any are wondering on the track names of the new stuff I posted them below.

Thursday

Here is another post of a great band that went big and released shit afterwards entitled to my opinion. I gave a shot to this band in Summer 2008 listening to there first 3 releases that 1999 summer tour demo, Waiting, Full collapse along with there live EP Five Stories Falling EP. These bring back memories of that whole summer, sometimes when I close my eyes and listen to this band I can see everything of that summer. Its fucking wierd. When I heard War All The Time it was actually pretty decent I won't lie to that it had some killer tunes. But after that, it was like listening to shit no offense to any Thursday fan. A city divided by the light isnt my most or least favorite album though I thought it was pretty bad. I enjoyed some of the early demo tracks and live tracks featured on Kill the lights which was pretty cool of them to make an album of this stuff. That split with Envy was god damn horrible. I don't know if they thought making a 7" split was cool and DIY of them, it sorta felt like a mainstream band just copying what most DIY music does. I think they couldve done a split when they released Waiting or basically not join a major label aat all and not do Warped Tour "Land of the posers and fairy fucks". (ENTITLED OPINION don't need loose buttholes) Common existence was pretty bad too though a song "Funeral Subway" reminded me of Full Collapse which shouldve been in that album along with "Last call" and "As He Climbed the Dark Mountain" other than those 3 tracks the album is a shit bag. I will finally move on to the last release which they claimed it would sound like Full Collapse. No Devolucion, besides the fact Epitaph Records have extrememly shitty albums. Though Thursday is a great band, it felt like they half assed there last length. It sounded nothing like Full Collapse or even War All the time which was done after Full Collapse or to the you the truth Waiting... At least they shouldve done it like there album Waiting; but no there heads were in there fucking asses and fucked it all up especially in there last 2 albums and god damn target especially there last album. Great band though I can tell you that. I felt some Emo vibe in there first 2 albums while War all the time had a post hardcorish feel which is okay and the rest sounding like some sell out. I heard sell out in A city diveded by the light, Common Existence and No Devolucion. I will give them credit for making the first 3 lengths extremely powerful to make up for the last 2 shitty lengths and that half assed split. Well if none of you haven't heard of Thursday they are very good, there not as bad as im saying they are it's just the last 2 full lengths I don't know I didn't like them they sounded off, different (not the good different), and like they just did whatever just to release a album. I did here of some splits they did which were called (Sampler CD's) thats fucking stupid. It featured a few songs from Waiting, Full Collapse and War all the time. The band is currently in Haitus god knows for how long, but if they do get back together I hope they see the mistakes they made. Some people say Waiting was released in 2000 but the album was released in late 1999. Well anyways you can download the GOOD stuff here. I am glad I heard them that summer though

Emanuel





Oh what no one remembers this band?! Well for those who were into the 2005 warped tour. This band actually had a chance to play up there and release 2 full lengths under Vagrant records. Pretty Major right? Well some history of emanuel. Emanuel started in the late 90's as Emanuel Nice. Songs were very poppy rock which the members got embaressed later on. As Emanuel Nice they released about 2 Ep's and 2 splits. There first 8 track EP released in 1999 entitled Hi-skool trivia which is shit. They then released and split with Lanemeyer in 2000 following that same year they released another split with Colourbone and the split entitled "Steinbach2Clarksville" and finally there last EP was released in 2002 entitled "wait" which is my favorite out of all there releases. The band took time until around 2005 they made a heavier sound and then were signed to Vagrant which there album "Soundtrack to a headrush" was released this is one of my 10th grade albums I just fucking loved. I remember watching there music video "You cannot rape the willing" and "Make tonight" which were the bands singles. The band did recieved attention but sadly not widely enough (Which is bullshit. Most fucking bands that play in warped tour are fucking horrible. When finally a decent band like Emanuel plays the shitty crowd hardly pays attention to the. Is it me or it is it that kids like shit coming out of faries assholes.) Anyways They also did a cover song which came out in Tony Hawkes American Wasteland, I thought the cover song was cool. In 2007 they finally released there final album "Black earth tiger" They had a few great songs. Well I thought this album was good actually. I couldn't believe Vagrant Records released a pretty cool album for once, (They also released Moneen's the red tree which was pretty good too) Well because the album didn't meet it's sells. The band broke up. Thats right. Shitty mainstream labels are like that. All they want you to do is make songs and sell out for them. The band went to a phase were "you didn't make enough money from this album, good luck with whatever label wants to help you" I hate mainstream labels. These guys shouldve joined a DIY label. Well the band released a music video for one of there tracks called "Cottonmouth" Pretty good video too. There song "Hey man" also came out in another video game Burnout revenge. I would always play that song while playing that game. I did hear that the band members still gather and play sometimes for fun in the basement. Well I know its been 3 years or 4 that the band has been broken up. Ugh Why hasn't Chiodos or A day remember not broken up those bands are serious shit. There last album was pretty heavier than Soundtrack to a headrush it had more of a violent sound to it. Though both albums are great.I guess mainstream fariy crowds have horrible ears for music. The band are now doing a hip hop project shit called 812 Dirty Squad. Emanuel also released a rap song called Kryptonite. I like the singers Sweater/Jacket it looks badass on him with the pins in make tonight and the willing music video.
