When I was 15 I taught Sam how to play those slightly off-time powerviolence/hardcore blastbeats at a backyard show with Barry and Matt from Joyce Manor. I'm honored to hear them executed perfectly
It's not a performance, it's an experience. It's all about fluidity, becoming one beast, one entity. I've never hoped on stage I tend to stay in the pit, but I'm perfectly fine with people doing it. But I've never been to a Trash Talk show, and it seems to be one massive pit.
Depends, I saw them open for Dillinger Escape Plan in Calgary, Alberta, Canada (bumb fuck nowhere) 2014 or so and only maybe 40 people were raging. All the Dillinger fans were too cool for school. Still one of the best bands I've seen live. I crawled on the corner of the stage to breathe for a bit, then they went into Dig and I was like. "OH FUCK" then front flipped off stage. Lol
Ive never really listened to TT, but 30 bucks for a goddamn shirt? Are you serious? Maybe ive been spoiled by buying shirts from powerviolence bands for 10 bucks, but 30 is goddamn ridiculous
