Punch (California Thrashcore)

So I just saw this band. Maybe my second time (first being RainFest 2010), but nevertheless, as awesome as ever. I'd always liked this band, but never took the required time necessary to really get into them. I like their music, being that it's very Infest-y and fast and still with hardcore elements despite being pegged into that whole current powerviolence rip-off thing (not talking shit on any band, I swear), and lyrically, really awesome, but I don't know. I was just busy with other things at the time and they lost relevance to me. Then, discovering they were playing in Seattle (with NW punk titans Hysterics!), I naturally had to give a do-over.

Point being, I fell in love with an awesome band that I wrote off just because weirdos and dweebs (of a different breed of weirdo and dweeb than I) jocked them incessantly on tumblr. Listen to them, and then go see them live and buy their stuff. They have patches and pins and awesome t-shirts, and as much as it bums me out to admit, you can't download t-shirts. Support hardcore.
