Halloween Thrash
The thrash continues all through the year. Early Man will return to KC once again to the Riot Room with British vets Evile and California's Bonded By Blood. KC's own Serated will be opening the show. Will be incredible!

Happy Independence Day!
A desperate situation
Forced to retaliation
The task ahead, a burden
Men will suffer, that's for certain
We'll charge into the fire
The cause, we must inspire
We raise our fist to tyranny
A high price, Freedom is not free
The odds are stacked against us
But with our resolve relentless
And arrogance their Weakness
Our cause is just, we won't be beaten
Upon this declaration
Will come a brand new nation
Where men are seen as equal
Governed by and for the people
So we make our stand and pray
On this declaration day
For independence I will fight
With liberty I will defy
So we make our stand and pray
On this declaration day
Give me liberty or give me death
I'll fight 'till my last breath
With virtue as our beacon
Our cause is charged as treason
Battle worn and starving
Through the hell of war we'll keep marching
The birth of our new nation
An act of desperation
We'll force king George down to his knees

Every show I've been to at Sandstone the past couple of years have pretty much been nostalgia trips. From Warped tour to Weezer, most of these trips have been to hear songs that I knew by heart even though I'm not a huge fan of the bands. I got a full dose of nostalgia tonight at Sandstone.
First up was Pepper. I was less than excited to see them, but they surprised me. Not so much that I'm a fan or anything now, but they were kind of fun to listen to. During their set, it just became all too painfully obvious how out of place I was at this show in my Motorhead shirt. But it was good fun. When Pepper wasn't doing the reggae thing so heavily and put in some rock, it wasn't so bad. 7/10
I realized after their set that just by listening to the radio and growing up in the 90's/early 00's, I knew a lot of songs by The Offspring. I started my listening career as a pop/punk fan, and it doesn't get much better or more enjoyable than an Offspring concert. The guys on stage may look old and their voices may not be able to do exactly what is on record, but they more than make up for it with really fun, really upbeat music. 8.5/10
311 headlined, but I only stayed for about an hour of their set. My sister loves this band so I grew up listening to a lot of them. The sound wasn't fantastic from where I was, but it evened out as time went on. When they were on, they sounded great, but I didn't know most of the songs. Beautiful Disaster was really awesome, as well.
All in all, I'm glad I went. Too many stoners and frat boys, but the music was great.

Apocalyptic Crust!
The godfathers of crust punk, Hellbastard, are coming to Lawrence for a house party at The Mouth (547 Alabama St.) on Sept. 21, and it should be awesome.
