I dunno, I think One Wrench and Front Porch Stories are damn fine albums. I don't think anything can match Over The James, but they are still fine records. The only weakness in their whole catalogue is the debut, and that isn't that bad.

Thanks for giving them deserved recognition. Someday you'll do the same for Hickey, the best punk band of all time.

I mean, they're an amazing band and pretty much all their songs are big Richmond pride anthems, but they were pretty much the catalyst in turning this music scene into one with a bunch of shitty one-note hardcore bands and weak-faced imitators, celebrated by local kids that think they live in the toughest city in the world. Of course I live in Montreal now, so I guess kinda the same thing's happened there, just replace Avail with Arcade Fire or Wolf Parade and "toughest" with "hippest".

A few weeks ago it was Bouncing Souls, then the Punk USA comp, and now Avail.

Please tell me that the next postings will revolve around 10 Foot Pole, Homegrown, Guttermouth, and Rhythm Collision.

There is a song on 4AM Friday (and it might be the title track) which is one of the greatest 6/8 punk songs I've ever heard. That time signature is rarely attempted in punk rock and Avail does it so well that I'm curious as to why more don't try.

Big Gray.
