Empire State Games – The Wrong Way to Hold a Microphone

The Village — Thu, 02 Jul 2026 18:26:31 +0000

A million years ago, I was at the door of an Eagles Lodge paying to get into a show, and the dude running the door just like half shouted, “Ugh is someone wearing cologne?” He looked directly at me, and I very sarcastically said, “Yeah, I absolutely wore cologne to the show.” He looked at the other dude running the door and said, “Of course it would be the guy in the Empire State Games shirt.”

Beige Eagle Boys – You Can Make The Beat Go Boom, Baby

Sat, 27 Dec 2014 05:00:00 +0000

The album is a bit uneven. Some songs leaning a bit too much into growled hardcore, and others a bit too slow. But the songs that stay a bit more in the noise rock/ Pissed Jeans realm are great.

All and all, You’re Gonna Get Yours is still a pretty listenable record with a lot of great moments.

Buy it here.

Danny Brown – Smokin & Drinkin

The Village — Thu, 03 Apr 2014 12:07:00 +0000

Danny Brown came really close to getting signed to G-Unit, but it fell through because 50 Cent didn’t like his look.

Shit is redic.

Old Gods – Snakeoil Painting 2

The Village — Fri, 10 Feb 2012 15:11:00 +0000

Holy shit.

I’m pissed that these guys are a local band, and I had no idea they existed. I’ve been missing out, hard.

The band just put out a 4-way split 7″ with ChildBite, Hellmouth, and the Golden Torso of Black Flag covers. And it looks like the plan is to do a series of 7’s with the same bands each time covering a different hardcore band (Dead Kennedys, Bad Brains, Misfits, and Minor Threat).

Go get this from the band’s Bandcamp page now.
