January 31st. A months worth of killer shows and we ended it on a high note. I got a call at work one day from a kid asking if I could help his band out with a show because some of their tour dates had been cancelled by icy conditions. I told the guy I had a show he could jump on that sunday night. Having never heard his band I figured Id hook him up to fatten the bill for our friends in Karoshi touring through on their way home to Nashville from New Orleans. The mystery band was Full Of Hell who had STS, another awesome band in tow. They all camped out at my house for two days until the Sunday Matinee. The show went off hard as fuck. Our local friends the Drains opened up and started things off with a killer set of dirty south grunge punk. Next up was STS who ripped through a blistering set of evil fastcore. They were fucking gnarly, with awesome drumming. Full Of Hell are a new favorite of mine. Young guys who play a killer brand of power violence influenced fast core. They thrashed it up sick and I back them. Karoshi are some friends of ours we made last year. Love those dudes. They belt out an intense set of melodic crust core in the Nashville tradition. Solid Band, Solid Dudes. We played last with a particularly inspired set of new material. January was a fun month. We will be taking a well deserved break during February to catch up on some sleep, bills, recording, and personal time.
