Christie Front Drive - Valentine *Studio Version

[Alienpelvis86]

GOD this song is orgasmic. I'm only 20 and I wish I were aroundto seee the true emo scene. although you guys would hate me cause I look like today's emo kids)

[seevendaycandle1]

Christie Front Drive is the most underrated band I have ever heard, Amazing!! I just wish I found them out before they broke up! O ya the lead singer of mineral is a pussy! lol, his lyrics and voice is annoying as shit!!

[asideofstates]

@seevendaycandle1 i will kill you

[mortorsabado]

this is super duper.

[Silence0fWinter]

I think it really doesn't matter if midwest emo bands aren't popular. Actually I'm glad that they're not for many reasons including the fact that i feel fortunated and enjoy them all the more.

However there's one problem, I can't find the lyrics anywhere ^^ Does anyone know them cause I can't get them while listening ?

[KrisdashPaul]

0 people are faggots.

[XturntodustX]

bro this is like boys life... i have to split.

[AaronBrown]

this is great thanks for posting it

[PurpleTragedy13]

Wow what an amzing song this is one of my favorites, followed by "dirt"!! NOW THIS IS WHAT YOU CALL MUSIC(:

[LuciteRabbit]

funny how after all this time, they call this 'music emo kids like to make out to' lol..its so much more, i doubt most of the emo kids now even know about this stuff. The scene look is cute and all but I appreciate how most these bands in the 90's looked like regular guys without eyeliner..something just down to earth and real about it all..maybe I'm just a purist. anyway, thanks for posting!

[Torkulguy]

@LuciteRabbit early 90's indie died. It's sad, since I wasn't ever able to experience that social scene. Instead, I got stuck with the kids getting into this new age hardcore, and whatever the hell this crunk core is. How could things go from Embrace and Cap'n Jazz to Brokencyde?

[thor8808]

@Torkulguy

Brokencyde is terrible, yes, but I actually enjoy a lot of the new hardcore and pop punk. I'm pretty much open to anything.

@Torkulguy Bloc Party Bro

[mcfizzle2455]

@Torkulguy nvm sunny day real estate

[XturntodustX]

@Torkulguy indie is slowy coming back they just need to avoid that mtv money signs.

[Torkulguy]

@XturntodustX Maybe...I dunno, has anyone else noticed that good bands from back in the day are reuniting and releasing shitty albums?

[thor8808]

@LuciteRabbit

I'm not gonna lie, I'm a 16 year old kid who straightens his hair every morning and what not, but I literally listen to every everything I can. In my opinion, you should do whatever you think is cool, and I guess I just like the cliche haircut, it's just sad that sometimes fashion presides over the actual music.

[dudesons441]

@thor8808 you should do whatever you think is cool? "Cool"? Who cares if it's cool or not. Do whatever the fuck you want :D

[thor8808]

@dudesons441

Word ^^

[45ozzy65]

@dudesons441 true to that

[lazerbones]

@LuciteRabbit the problem is that you are taking what the mainstream media is calling 'emo' and letting that judge what your perception is. there are several very talented bands playing real 90s emo today. you just cant confuse them. 

[Mccampbellthomas]

@lazerbones The World Is a Beautiful Place and I Am No Longer Afraid to Die is a good example, though I tend to lean more towards the jawbreaker spectrum

[WeGotSplashers]

@LuciteRabbit i'm from that scene and trust me, none of us were wearing eyeliner, most of us were wearing jorts and new balances hahaha

[wrarmatei]

@LuciteRabbit I'm a 25 year old dude, so some of the music I love being synonymous with kids who weren't even alive when this was produced used to irritate me a lot. A while back, in one of my courses, one of the books that we read had a really good series of interviews with Ian Mackaye and he said something particularly profound regarding hurtful epithets- He refuses to speak the language of intolerance/hate because none of it applies to how he sees the world.

[KakiIsSoNinja]

That guitar is so soothing... Much a mellow song. :)

[notyoursavior78]

Yeah I missed out on this band before, but what I've heard from them on here is excellent. Thanks for uploading this!

[aciddmc]

similar to Mineral but I'd say slightly more upbeat. Yeah this is one of my favs by them so far - I'm just getting into them. thanks for uploading this, wicked band, way underrated.

[abrazina88]

tards,das anyone now this song tekst?

[mcatling]

you reckon they were metion on british music magazine like NME or Melody maker duriing the 1990's

[fackinrankor]

great great grrrreat!

[arkaic]

Whoa.... this is a fucking beautiful song.

[eatdogs]

these guys often remind me of mineral who were awesome as well. this is a great song.

[TheHellawaitsyou]

@eatdogs hey, i was in mineral and we would have been nothing if it weren't for kerry from cfd. bands like this, boys life, giants chair, boilermaker, etc... no one would have ever heard the likes of us, not to mention much better bands. gw

[hookhoax]

@TheHellawaitsyou Hey man just wanted to thank you for the music you made. Bands like Mineral, CFD, Compound Red, etc... really changed the way I looked at music and inspired me and many others to do the same. I'll always have a special place in my heart for the music and the moments that went with it.

[blackorpheliac1]

@eatdogs mineral is god

[MasterBlade4]

I love this song.

[soSUBURBIA]

Easily their best song.

[thor8808]

I'm a big fan of "Field" as well.

[Icantunderstandyou]

Thank you for the upload!

[thor8808]

No problem ;)

[thor8808]

Glad you do :D

[almightyseancore]

what do you mean they werent that popular? these guys were huge when i was growing up.

[thor8808]

No... they really aren't. Well, at least not anymore.

If they were more popular, I'm sure I wouldn't have the only studio-version of this song uploaded to youtube.

[almightyseancore]

i guess it all depends on the bands you listened to back then. the only time i ever got to see them live, the venue was PACKED, and everyone knew the songs.

[connorhalsell]

ummm, where were you growing up?

[ganglu]

maybe he means on a more comercial level, which for me is a moot point. But yeah, on the indie scene they were huge. J.E.W. notes them as one of their favorite bands.

[Iflysti06]

wow its been awhile since i have heard this.

[thor8808]

Great song, though, right?

[Iflysti06]

You bet this song is epic! :)
