Paid Members Egg Shen Posted August 31, 2022 Author Paid Members Share Posted August 31, 2022 i saw them at Bloodstock, very much came off as a British Code Orange to me, I quite liked what I heard but the sound wasn't great. My mate who prefers a more conventional song structure hated them though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think their logic was "We've listened to your wifes wishes for three years but seeing as you've put this out, fuck yer" Edited August 31, 2022 by cobra_gordo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keith Houchen Posted September 1, 2022 Share Posted September 1, 2022 Can someone translate the last two bands on the bill for those of us who don’t speak metal? Cheers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers! Messrs Stormruler and Ingested, apparently. Gutted there's no Irish date tacked on there. Cannibal Corpse are always a good time, and I quite like Dark Funeral's daft, guilt-free brand of black-metal-on-steroids. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merzbow Posted September 1, 2022 Share Posted September 1, 2022 Stormruler are a Dark Souls inspired band, aren't they? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SuperBacon Posted September 1, 2022 Share Posted September 1, 2022 Shikari (one of my favourite bands ever), Less Than Jake celebrating one of my favourite albums of my teens AND Kids In Glass Houses reforming. Dust off my Volcom trainers and Stars And Straps t-shirt and sign me up. Even The Academy Is are there. It really is 2007!!! I'll be 38 by the time it rolls around, but I will taking my children to this and embarrassing the shit out of them. Lovely stuff. Â Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Accident Prone Posted September 2, 2022 Paid Members Share Posted September 2, 2022 Gutted that I've sworn off Slam Dunk forever because that's a real sweet line-up. Offspring, Bowling For Soup, Less Than Jake, The Academy Is...it's perfect 2008 2am emo room fodder. Bastards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was that the show where you (or someone else on here) had their phone stolen? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's only ever happened at Slam Dunk too, never at any other festival or gig that I've been to. They clearly attract wankers, and Slam Dunk are okay with it, so I want no part of it anymore.

Paid Members Egg Shen Posted September 3, 2022 Author Paid Members Share Posted September 3, 2022 i keep seeing the phone stealing thing pop up in places, is it really that bad? I only have one experience at Slam Dunk (pre-Pandemic) and had a lovely time. Think of going again next year too. There's not a lot I like on the lineup but there's a few which will be great, and as long as there's 5-6 bands across the day I wanna see i'm good. Saw the Offspring headline Hellfest back about 5 years ago and its just perfect festival headline fodder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kfogg1991 Posted September 4, 2022 Share Posted September 4, 2022 For a first announcement that slam dunk line up is pretty damn good. I've always wanted too see the offspring live, seeing shikari again is never a bad thing, less than Jake, bowling for soup, malevolence is a fucking must after seeing them in sheffield with while she sleeps, and fit for a king js not a bad amount of bands I want too see in the first set of announcements.

SuperBacon Posted September 4, 2022 Share Posted September 4, 2022 What a moment. I did turn it on at one point, but Josh Homme was singing so it went straight back off again. Might try and fast forward watch it today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merzbow Posted September 4, 2022 Share Posted September 4, 2022 Very silly name but this is some killer experimental mathcore, the silliness finds it's way into the music without being cringe like a lot of humour in metal. They're a breath of fresh air. Â Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
