uh... LOL.

Earth Crisis blows, they always have. They are the absolute worst perpetrators of the cheesing out of straight edge in the 90's. Their lyrics are terrible, their moral absolutism is laughable, and Karl looks like Macullay Culkin, (except he didn't date Mila Kunis).


Listening to OLC and not listening to The Bad Brains is a bit ridiculous. It is pretty easy to say "it was a joke", but really when you have lyrics like:

"Don't come over here
we don't need or want you
a country for Americans
vultures won't rule
in your rat land
you belong and rot
D.P. worthless scums
should all die enraged
Dirty fucking leaches
you must GET OUT
don't use this country
for free HAND OUTS

Bringing your infections
don't infect our people
we pay out of our pockets
not for your fucking free rides"

it's pretty hard to discern what is or isn't a joke, if it was satire, it didn't come across as it. JLJ is a conservative d-bag, that is a fact. There are legions of people with shitty views who write it off as a "joke" when they get pushed on it. Further, regardless if it was a joke or not, you know there was some meat-head thug wanna be morons who took it at face value, I mean, there is a video of them playing some fest in Clevo where Mean Steve proclaims at the beginning of a song "get the fuck out of my country" and a good portion of the crowd cheers.... ouch.

At least HR and Dr. Know can admit that they were being idiots.

Didn't read most of the thread. I'm just here to say one thing...

I love Limp Wrist! Want Us Dead is one of my two favorite 7-inches ever. I think they're one of the best political hardcore bands because their presence actually posed a challenge to the conventions of hardcore imo.

Definitely one of my favorites.

Then you'll go from being lonely to wishing that everybody would just fuck off because their a bunch of fucking buzzkills going on about how 'you've got a problem" and they "just want to be their to help you". You don't need any of them. You just need drugs.
