[joshcore2011]

mate, anything shai hulud is good!

[chuckmastazero]

SO....a few years back, I was in a record store in Baltimore...And saw "My Love, My Way" on vinyl...I thought...I'd never heard this band before, but I've heard of them, and feel like I should probably pick this up. When I dropped the needle on that record, I blew my wad...HAHA, this band is fucking incredible.

[cwscpfc]

First & Ellen first song in the set? Fucking hell. I would have gone absolutely mental. Song's got me through alot of shit in life.

[bobsagetisporn]

the best thing to ever come out of iowa.

[godis4sale]

@bobsagetisporn

Ten Grand was pretty sweet too.

[thesearewarningsigns]

MLIW is great, but so is That within blood ill-tempered. i'll give you misanthropy pure...

[jbuengle]

passion intense awesome live thats what made mliw

[havexheart]

What this band meant to me is rare and indescribable.

[goatyboy2007]

[ZAKROCKER93]

[NathanielTheLins]

[K0FAX]

Matoblaster was never in MLIW. I can prove it.

[matoblaster]

Go ahead and talk your shit, MLIW was some of the best times I ever had, pretty much the most down to earth band I was ever in. Not everyone is supposed to like it. And for those of you that do (did) you rule!

[ryant601]

proove you were in mliw

[l1keacat]

good lyrics would be shai hulud's lyrics

not this shit about being a punk

this band sucks

[tamatownskater]

FUCK YOU I HOPE YOU FUCKING DIE.

[Captivehonour17]

good music would be mliw

shitty music would be everything shai hulud has put out this decade

why do you listen to hardcore if you dont like the punk aspect

where the fuck do you think hardcore came from

[darkwolftheavenger]

@Captivehonour17 haha i like shai hulud and mliw lol

[TurningTides]

i love you mliw

[homesless]

These guys SUCK. What's all the hype about them? They sound exactly like every other shitty band today...

[eternalorgans]

in my opinion, they have (or had, since they broke up recently) some of the best lyrics in modern hardcore. check out the ones to the first song in this video ("First and Ellen").

[hiddenpunk291]

agreed man

[TurningTides]

get smart

[jonathanjeu]

listen to the words

[asphyxiate11]

Their lyrics are exceptionally intelligent and they did the melodic hardcore thing more different than any band out there. They may not have been the best, but they were definitely noteworthy.

[thesearewarningsigns]

@asphyxiate11 i would say they were certainly one of the best from this era of hardcore, the early 2000's, truly original, they inspired so many current bands, and a lot of bands who were around at the same time as them started sounding like them to keep up. Hardcore is better because of them, my life is better because of them.

[TheBroDeisel]

I saw there last concert there a local band here it was pretty sweet.

[johnc2316]

i saw them a month ago.

[SeventySevenVideo]

[inthetunk]

have seen this band in countless wisconsin and minnesota basements and venues, couldn't be better

[RevivedDemon]

deadasdisco doesn't know wtf he's talking about. I saw these guys at the Knitting Factory in NYC a little while ago. That shit was too ridiculous for words, at one point some dude crowd surfed to the stage and grabbed the mic, fucking crazy.

[Oisterboy]

deadasdisco you really don't fucking know shit do you? Run your mouth about NY, but until you've been there first hand, don't fucking bother insulting us.

[deadasdisco]

man st. louis makes new york look like a bunch of pussies.

[SlammaDragon]

hey dick. check the 538 johnson house videos. nothing like that has ever happened in st. louis.

[punkbandgeek]

hey Calibwai, i think you can shut the fuck up

emo historicaly has screaming, therefor calling him emo because he doesent like all the screamo just makes you look like a dumbass

[cuttingwords]

emo < calibwai

[poneddp]

i like the music, dont like the screaming, no melody...?

[Reebbo]

couldnt have opened with a better song.

[xthroatx]

Modern hardcore at it's absolute finest.

[mmartin1133]

[SurfTheConcreteWave]
