Only in America is where race is such a big deal. theres more things to worry about like these gas prices,health care,education, the gov, rapists, child molesters, criminals walking freely. But yet we find reasons to complain about small unimportant things. This is one big pot of mixed up ethnicities. And guess what 100 years from now it will still be the same the same ol mixed up pot. So worry about important things people and enjoy life a little bit more.
Alexis Brown have been and always will be my idol for various reasons one of them being she is african-american woman in metal not emo or screamo or other crappy genre. She is super nice, a sweetheart, and will always give back to her fans. Her lyrics come from experiences, love, and other things. She stays true/real to who she is. This is one band I will forever love & support (been a fan before Alexis join them) <3
I really truly hope this band makes it fucking BIG TIME..why?..i'll tell you..one of the most down to Earth, honest, nicest people you could meet...and Alexis is such a sweetie..she has so much time for you, as do the rest of the band..top band..top people..hope they come back to London soon.
Wow, after literally just going through almost 2 dozen bands w/ female lead singers that either sucked or mediocre, this is the breath of fresh air I was looking for!
I'm sorry if I'm noticing it too much but OH MY GOD SOMEONE WHO LOOKS LIKE ME AND DOES MUSIC LIKE THIS TOO....! I'm so excited, these guys' vocalist is officially my new role model ^^
@Hamstera don't hold your breath mate. it's not as bad (or at least as open) about it as it used to be but the metal scene still has its white man colonial throwbacks here and there. especially on the internet.
@Hamstera- That's like saying Eminem won't get comments about race. It's to be expected because of the genre they are in, and unless the commenters deliberately trying, comments "noticing" race are not inherently disrespectful. It's actually complimentary that they can transcend the stereotypical race genres and still be successful. Alexis Brown, William Duvall, Lajon Witherspoon, and even Corey Glover (& co)...I love to see them in metal/rock!
Now when older people tell me that this music isn't really music, I can not only give them a lecture explaining the musical aspect of this, but also call them a racist :D
@iRandomNezzy i'm not sure either. i had heard she was half white and half black but dunno how credible that source was. She's definitely black though if not mixed.
@Wedhro Dude, its 2012. There are so many people of African descent, chinese descent, arab descent, and all over who are into metal. If you are curious about other bands that have people of african descent, check out: God Forbid, Candiria Wicked Wisdom (Jada Pinkett is lead singer), Suffocation, Killswitch Engage, the list goes on.
@Wedhro Another universe, actually. Google John Titor. Seriously. I'm from his universe, sent back to solve the Unix problem, I stopped here in 2000 after Y2K; to see wasup.
@ArtFenixAsordis: I think you would be surprised how many black people (a lot of girls) that listen to music other than rap. Don't take someone at face value and assume anything about them based on physical appearance. I mean, Alexis is clearly a rocker chick. I don't know how you could look at her and think she's anything else.
@Quemin That's great to hear actually! it always has been disappointing that black people didn't seem to like rock/metal much. I saw like 3-4 of them, Sepultura included.
Story by this band that Alexis is so damn sweet & down to earth.. Before the concert started, I was walkin by the arcade area of this bar they're gonna play a show at called Brick by Brick. An this arcade area was by the restrooms so i went took a piss came out an she was still there playin the second best game of our childhood (her an I r round same age) Street Fighter. Long story short I challenged & she pounded those buttons & she kicked my ass everytime lol i had a blast hangin out wit her.
Hey guys we're a metal/hardcore band from New York and we really love Straight Line Stitch. We're just starting out and we really need all the support we can get. Check out our channel we just released a montage video of one of our singles "Break Me". Let us know what you think!
(We have a 90 pound Asian screamer who sounds like he's been molested by the devil)
Aww the little girl remind me of me hehe love it but one thing bothered me that bitch was not about to hit the little girl was he cause i would not stand that......
I do enjoy these guys (and girl) but I feel like they should have someone else for the screams. Shes got talent, no doubt. But I feel there isn't enough power behind them. Her clean vocals are beautiful though. Don't get me wrong, she's good at both. But I think a more powerful screamer would do this band even more justice.
in all metal bands ... 65% is the band that makes the song a fucking great one ... but there are some exception when it's 50%-50% .. this is one of them :X
I've seen them live, Great Performance i must say!
