today marks one week until what is one of the most exciting local shows i’ll have gone to. next friday chugger, charles the osprey, and heavier than air flying machines are all playing together!! i’m not even kidding. jukes is hosting the show…which is actually an expunk cd release show from what i understand. i am so stoked to see these bands together! i haven’t seen charles or heavier than air in quite a while (far far too long in fact) and of course i also try to go out and support chugger and love going to their shows! it should be an amazing time and if you are in the grand rapids area please check it out! oh yea…its FREE…so no excuse not to!

oh grand rapids hardcore. this band, damages, has been under my radar for too long…apparently they’ve been around since 2007 but i just learned about them recently! i ran across them on last.fm and was looking at their pictures there and on their myspace page and realized i had seen them play at the last la dispute show i had been to (which was way too long ago). anyway they have a link to get their ep for free on their myspace page so i downloaded and love it. solid and heavy hardcore from right here in grand rapids, mi! check them out!

also, just got done listening to charles the osprey’s ep “belongings”. its been a bit since i’ve listened to it and its more amazing than i remembered. makes me wish i was at one of their shows instead of sitting at a desk in a pawn shop . if you are ever in the west michigan area around the time of a charles show you had better get there cuz these boys can shred!
