04.25.05 Cursed/Mare/Born of Ashes

show started late which sucked cuz i didn't want to wait. local openers born of ashes were boring. they had this one song at the end that was kind of redeeming, but other than that meh. their singer is out of place.

mare. these doods are signed to hydrahead. so how bad could the be right? well mini-dv tapes are expensive, so i opted to do just audio. their set was kind of art school experimental boring. sometimes it worked, a lot of times it didn't. played 40 min.







cursed. they were ok. they have a really decent converge vibe to them. possibly may have even stolen a few converge riffs at that. not suprising since they are signed to deathwish (jacob bannon of converge's label). playbed about 40 min to a poor turn out crowd.





*sigh* i don't think this show was worth my $15.
