2007


Bands around here in LA have been increasing. There's lots of nwe bands that are amazing. Lots of new Crust bands,some D beat bands,Powerviolence bands,and Grindcore bands. There's this one band that really cought my attention once i saw them at a show i booked in East Los Angeles. They're called Medic! they play that type of Japanese style noise like "Crasher Crust" you can say,loud fast and distorted, what we all love. haha. They're the only band around here from the bands i've heard that play that style and that's what makes them so unique and fucking awesome. You can check them out at: http://www.myspace.com/medicdbeat

FDown here we have lots of good local bands that over the years we have learned to stick together and play all the time and have a blast playing badass shows, bands like: Holokaust,Mala Sangre,Against Empire,Scarred for Life,Alternate System,After the Bomb,Aborto Social,Worhorse,Medic,SMD,Ruido,Deadlock,Resistant Culture,and alot more i just cant remember all of them from the top of my head. All those bands play together and i think we are preatty much well known and liked in the local area.
There's some good DIY venues down here. One of them which is very respected and everyone loves called "The Long Beach Warehouse" Very awesome place,amazing bands at every show not only locals but also out of town bands mostly. Lots of great bands have played there over the years:Tragedy,Crow,Sick on the Bus,No fucker,Riistetyt,World Burns to Death,Kegcharge just to name a few. This place is very well known around here by all of us that live down here we all respected and try to keep it together as much as possible because that venue helps alot of us local bands play and get our name out there.

Other things besides bands and diy venues there has been some protests around here against that law they were tryin to pass against immigrants. Alot of people joined and helped around here and i msure it was'nt only around here it was preatty much all over the world haha. Also down here there's lots of people who get together and organize gatherings shows etc..Against animal cruelty. It seems like it has grown alot more this past few years down here alot of people have been getting into Animal Rights Movement which i think it's kool because there's people who actually feel like accomplishing something and just not sit on there ass.
Another thing i think not only i have noticed around here but also other people is that New hardcore music is mixing together at alot of Punk shows. Lots of mixed shows like that and crouds. Sometis it causes lots of fights,conflicts between them because of the way they dress,style there hair,and the music they listen to. That's something else down here that has also increased. Very weird for me but that's just my opinion.
