so that's...

        Since it's 10 mins walk away, anyone wanna come with?
        They can come back to mine for sarnies at half time.

          Fightstar certainly have the biggest (but not boldest) drummer of the moment.

          If you get some bacon and ketchup it, you've got yourself a deal

            • Re: F4AF to headline Give It A Name Fest

              Veggie bacon?
              Tastes the same, almost...
              • Re: F4AF to headline Give It A Name Fest

                Veggie bacon!? That doesn't replace the taste of murder I enjoy so much with normal bacon...
              • Re: F4AF to headline Give It A Name Fest

                incredible stuff. love it. feel my veganism Mike. FEEL IT!

                  hmmm, does this mean fishfinger sandwiches are out as well?

                    Didn't finch die? OR was that just a dream I had. Come on, they created that album, it's everyones stupidly crap dance-to-cheese album before they go out and get fucked, but we don't need another, especially as they say it 'sounds like the mars volta' (yeah, they play in half time for a second or 2).

                    In fact. how do you play in half time for a second. Not very easily my son, that's how.

                    Still, emo fest, but i'm still interested to see FFAF live. And im enjoying fightstars stuff no matter what ANYONE says. Go listen to early 90s emo/hardcore and youll start to like fightstar and realise they rip off much older stuff than whats around atm :-).

                    woot.

                      and.. i just spoke to myself in that whole post. and again here. its late. bedtime.
                  • Re: F4AF to headline Give It A Name Fest

                    Jeez Diver - if it tastes the same and looks the same, why not buy some REAL bacon??
                    • Re: F4AF to headline Give It A Name Fest

                      Isn't it called facon?

                      I'd love to see Coheed again, shame they're surrounded by so much arse on the bill.
                    • Re: F4AF to headline Give It A Name Fest

                      Fair point.
                  • F4AF to headline Give It A Name Fest

                    Can I rename it "Give It A Rest Fest", please?

                    Actually, that seemed funnier in my head.
                    • Re: F4AF to headline Give It A Name Fest

                      Fighstar are so fucking edgy you could cut yourself listening to them
                  • F4AF to headline Give It A Name Fest

                    Lol emo-fest
                  • Re: F4AF to headline Give It A Name Fest

                    Are you Si, I think I met you when I went to see FATA last year.
                    Sorry if Im wrong.
                    • Re: F4AF to headline Give It A Name Fest

                      i am the one and same
              • F4AF to headline Give It A Name Fest

                What about Rise Against? Theyre an awesome hardcore punk band
              • F4AF to headline Give It A Name Fest

                Does anyone know for sure if Brand New and Thursday are playing and if Coheed have dropped out?

              • F4AF to headline Give It A Name Fest

                I'd go for MC Lars.

                But alas, there's no tickets left. All the ex-Busted "look at me I'm so xhardcorex" fans have snapped them all up. (I'm sure this isn't the case, but it's what I'd like to think.)

              • F4AF to headline Give It A Name Fest

                hellooooo....new to this here forum :-) I'm going to Give It A Name, the xfashion_corex fest thing sounds about right lol, although I like the bands 'cause they're good, not 'cause its cool to like them, unlike someone I know who's going...an ex-busted fan as well!
