Itch
Manifesto - Part 1

I created a band page and wrote a review to tell you all not to bother listening to a 14 minute piece
of music

i am a cunt

Haha, I'm not sure if I'll give this a go- I really liked TKB but I know what you mean about Itch's lyrics getting grating.

I really don't like Bleach Blood either- the other band to come out of TKB. What a shame.

hadn't even heard of them

Album Rating: 1.5

BB is what Jamie is involved with post-TKB. They've got an EP out now or coming shortly, I'm unsure of which. Think they're retaining a bit more of the punk sound. I've had this downloaded for over a week but haven't given it any attention yet - your rating doesn't exactly encourage me though!

if you didn't like long live the struggle i doubt you'd like this

Album Rating: 1.5

Yeah, most likely not. I just feel obliged to give it a go having followed TKB since about 2008.

tell me what you think

Album Rating: 1.5

Yeah, I generally agree with what you have said in the review: worn out lyrical themes too reminiscent of past work he's done. Really prevalent on London is Burning. I nearly laughed at Spooky Kids, it was terrible. I didn't think True was that bad until the sudden change in direction and I wanted to like Bruises but there's not enough interesting going on to permit me to.

So Itch is playing a surprisingly big venue for a first solo tour, that only two years ago Converge played with Kvelertak and Trap Them supporting. In fact, I saw TKB there. Considering he's only recorded four tracks I have no idea how he's intending to sell tickets. I guess it'll be him playing these tracks, reading some poetry and playing mellow TKB stuff. Sounds like a shit evening to me.

He's probably got some new songs written anyway

I've just had a reply on a youtube king blues video for a comment I posted 5 months ago.

No i'm pretty sure it doesn't say "disrespectful comments" at the top of the page you silly little person. If you don't like the music then fine, but don't try and force your opinion on others. At the end of the day I highly doubt you could do anything better.

I suppose he is quite prolific at writing music. I actually really enjoyed TKB live, I can't see him holding anyone's attention solo because A) it's not as interesting to watch and B) the songs on this blow



I love when people pull the 'you couldn't do better yourself' argument into things. I personally couldn't play anywhere close to as well as Breaking Benjamin but that doesn't mean they don't suck.

I actually like the song as well. That argument really irritates me though. Especially when the song is complete shit anyway.

I think the general argument pisses me off more though. The idea that you're not allowed to criticise anything and that if you do, it's you forcing your opinion on others rather than them, the majority who then flood you with angry replies.

Which one was it?



Fanboys defend at the end of the day. I used to get annoyed if people insulted music I liked when I was like thirteen. Then you grow up, cut your hair, take off your one dimensional glasses and accept that you were just being immature.

it's not their best though

Hahahahaha, damn, I hated that song. They played it live before it came out on Youtube/whatever and it got a really stale reaction. I remember seeing tonnes of criticism about it and laughed when I saw that it wasn't actually included on Punk and Poetry's tracklist. When 'listening to the man' precedes 'fuck the man'..

it's better than most of Long Live The Struggle to be honest. Wasted Words is the lowest they've gone
to

but yeah the song is pretty bland overall and I don't get why some people so vehemently defend stuff
like it. As if these bands can do no wrong. Do they actually get offended that some people don't like
it?

Album Rating: 1.5

Wasted Words and This Is My Home. I can't even remember the rest of the record, those two were just stand-out terrible.



What'cha thinkin', little baaaastards... Ugh..



Yeah man, how can you hate on Itch Fox? He wears vests and snapbacks and skinny jeans and writes about the importance and relevance of punk to modern society and about the credit crunch and the BNP and how women should be treated, he can do no wrong... right?!

godamn these strict character limits

lol

you liked a video ripping on Greenday's new album. Also a video that is anti-Mumford and Sons,
you liked that?

fuck you, bro. you are in no position to judge music or people.
