Oh man, so all you have to do pretty much is look at this list of bands for the night and your done!!!  I mean 6 fucking amazing bands in one night.  I have been looking forward to this show since I heard about it like 2 months ago.  Besides it being Carry On and OMDB's record release shows it was supposed to be Diehard Youths record release but they havnt finished or done  their pressings yet.  So anyways, I knew this show was gonna rock the fuck out of The Ojai Womens Club, and I was right!!  There waas a lot of people there.... like 200 or maybe more [im bad with numbers and shit].  But that wasn't the thing that was really cool....there were people there from far away, like Seattle, Nor Cal, So Cal, and everywhere in between.  I had heard that some people from the east coast were planning on flying out for just the show...I"m not sure if thats true but maybe.  So I got there right as the show was starting and SSB was playing first.  I first heard this band at Che Fest [weel a little before that but] that was the first time that I saw them.  I really like them, they play like an old school style hardcore, good fast parts, and quality breakdowns.  Good stuff, I had fun during their set, dancing and singing a long.  They kinda had some trouble with something for a little while, and it took some time but it was cool.  So up next was DieHard Youth, by far my favorite band in hardcore right now!!!  Every time they play, they get better and better, and more better!!!!!!  So they started up and everyone was dancing and singing along and mad stage dives were being displayed.  They played all the good shit....haha, and threw in an Atari cover, called "Times Together", really good song about friends and stuff..good cover!!  So they recieved a great response and they deserved it!!!!  Up next was Damage Done.  I had never heard of this band before, they are from up north somewhere  Santa Cruz I think.  They are good!!  I really cant tell you their style of hardcore, they are just hardcore, they only played like 4 songs and a cover so it was hard to judge.  I hope to see these guys soon!!  I should have got their demo but I forgot, fuck, I wish I would have.  So up next was Breaker Breaker from San Francisco.  They got a new drummer he is from Kansas!!!!  They played most of the songs from their demo and they added a couple new things to a couple songs.  Their singer was saying something about somwone ripping his shirt and not owninh up to it or something, he kept on going on and on about it, it was kinda annoying, but other than that they got an amazing response.  Everyone was dancing, tons of stage dives and lots of singing along!!!!!  Up next was Carry On..... they had just gotten back from a little eastcoast tour thing, so people were really stoked to see them I think.  And plus it was their record release show....come on, they were gonna kill evreyone.  I have heard their new record like 20 times, and its amazing!!!  Their best stuff by far I think.  They played a pretty amazing show, people were going off, for all the songs, new and old.  Tough moshing super stagediving and killer sing alongs.  Everyone was going crazing and still showing respect for everyone!!!  Hardcore is amazing!!  So after them was OMDB!!  I havnt heard their new record either....damn it.  They played a lot of songs off of it, I hear that the new stuff is a little heavier but I dont know.  The covered No Reply "Well kill you all".  Everyone went absolutley nuts.  I got kicked in the head like twenty times just during that song and shit, haha.  It was fuckin bad ass, so was the rest of OMDB set.  O everyone pick up Carry on and OMDBs new records.
