"Tour packages" suck ass, if you don't have room for 1 local on your tour per show and have used DIY as a jumping board to get more popular: stop! Having a bigger show and letting new people interact with the actual underground scene that exists in whatever city is key.

Album absolutely blew my mind when it came out. I know it's not ever "cool" to talk about things you actually like on the Internet but the drum intro to "Saturday's Blood" is probably the coolest thing a hardcore band has ever done and Dan Rossiter is one of the ALL TIME greats.

I don’t know who needs to hear this, but DIY is revolutionary. If you’ve ever created something for yourself because you had to, then I’m proud of you. Who cares if there’s no audience, there eventually will be. Just keep doing it.

You start listening to the Ramones when you're in 5th grade and then you try to be cool and find some random band from the 80s that literally no one has ever heard (for a reason), then in your 30s you return to the Ramones and truly know they're the coolest to ever do it.
