Avail - Lombardy St. (Live at the Beat Kitchen in Chicago; April 22, 2006)

[jweaver56]

"Dixie" is a Top 10 album of ALL TIME!!!

[pisserplunker]

I love Avail, and even more Tim Barry solo....but I gotta ask what's the deal with the dude on stage just hanging out and showing everybody what the words are? It's kind of annoying. It's like he wants to be the singer...but he's not good enough, so they just let him hang out. It's actually kind of distracting. Sorry dude, but there is no need for you.

@pisserplunker obviously you don't know AVAIL kid. That's Beau Beau, their band "cheerleader" for years and an all around awesome individual. He's one of their best friends. I think it's cool as shit they keep their friends around for the good times even if fools like you don't get it.

[pisserplunker]

@raymarkhamyarsongs haha, "kid" Easy there son, I'm probably old enough to be your daddy. It's great that they keep their friends around...that's what you're supposed to do with friends. I just don't exactly understand why they need a "cheerleader" Seems a little pointless.

If you don't like Avail, you are dumb.

[alexbod4321]

i freaking love avail! Richmond baby!

[TBRodd]

dont read the comments below, just mine is enough. AWESOME

[jonnyoh72]

anyone who thinks this isnt true punk rock, never knew what punk rock was.

[sunnysale]

i'm with gibbo below.

music doesn't need to be intellectualized. it's subjective. get over it. for what it's worth, i think avail are one of the most incredible bands ever.

[gibbo246]

I gotta stop reading youtube comments... you cunts are so fucking dumb.

Avail are awesome, end of story

[fugaziusm]

superb... would sell a leg to see Avail live. also for what its worth I would file Avail under emo (ditto for HWM) - I'm not sure at what point emo's attributes changed from emotional/personal references and passionate delivery to strictly a category for any collective of pretty boys in eyeliner singing about girl trouble and furthermore who said punk had to be fast (ever heard of The Clash?)...

Anyway... great vid.

[acbbj]

I agree. . .kind of. I agree in the fact that i'm not sure when emo changed, but I would say 4% percent of these "emo" kids even know about Ian Mackaye and 'emotive punk-rock'and that 95% percent of people when they refer to emo are referring to the teenage soap opera bullshit that we get now, and they listen because they want someone to confirm that they have a difficult existence so they can be looked at as interesting. Having said that, Emo sucks and Avail is not it.

[fugaziusm]

The trouble is the salesmanship behind the MCR or Decaydance/Drive-Thru bands. The trouble is when the people on the other side of the till branded the recent Kerrang approved onslaught they forgot to add the "pop" suffix (emo-pop right?) which is odd as they've emo'd/screamo'd/hardcore'd until practically every new band that emerges has its own vague and audience dividing sub-genre. Its good music, but, Avail are incredible.

[kingbrutis]

the best band ever

[IrrIsponsible]

emo? uh, these guys are a punk band thank you. so what if they do ONE slow song?

[erinaig]

this clip is a perfect example of how awful emo music is i mean wtf? i would rather be stabbed 100 times in the head than listen to these homos they give punk a bad name

[mikesxdestroy]

LOL!!1

[AnRK1936]

Emo? Yeah cos emo's this positive... and HOMOS?! What fuckin punk do you listen to, screwdriver?

[TheMedium79]

Erinpieceofshit tell Beau that theyre playin Emo and youll be dead by tommorow, which I dont have a problem with. Because as always first think (including gettin ALL the information) THEN write. Otherwise SHUT THE FUCK UP !

[eversincealways]

"i would rather be stabbed 100 times in the head than listen to these homos they give punk a bad name"

Come to Richmond and it will be arranged.

[assbreakfast]

Avail isn't about emo or punk.They cannot be classified.If you don't like it then listen to whatever the hell you want.I'm tired of idiots who want to wave flags about who is a sell out,who is punk,who is emo...the hell with that shit.Everyone has different tastes in music.I went to my first avail show about 10 years ago and out of all the shows I've seen there is only one band I would go to see every year.They are down to earth guys just making real,honest music.
