At no point have I been blown away by this band, recorded or live. In fact, their best song so far was co-written by Greg Hetson. Don't get me wrong, they're not bad, but the Circle Jerks are a much better band than OFF!
Keith desperately needs to get over being given the boot from Black flag some 33 years ago, a longer period of time than 50% of OFF!'s fan base, and reform the CJs.
keith is still a great frontman, but this is not as good as the jerks circa '83-'84 with chuck biscuits, hetson and liberty. i think off! are a lot better live than on record, excellent show, i wish they're coming soon to europe.
"I love me some Circle Jerks, but keith seems like a real whiney little beaatch."
Did you just realize this? After all these years? He was whinier and beeaatchier in the Jerks! I want more of his whiney little beeaatching!!!! I love it.
Welcome to DOUBLE CROSS - an online fanzine dedicated to the hardcore we love... past, present, and future. The goal is classic fanzine vibe and content, with stories, interviews, photos and more - updated every day through the week. While this might be a "blog," we want it to go beyond what that term typically represents.
And while we are undoubtedly straight edge and will put the best straight edge bands at the heart of this site, in no way does that mean we won't be featuring all of of our other favorite hardcore bands here as well.
Check out the below links for more info on us, as well as what we have been putting up here since beginning construction in March '08. Get in touch if you wanna contribute or just say what's up. X X X Tim McMahon / Gordo
THANX: We would like to give thanks and credit to Ken Salerno, Tim Singer / Boiling Point, Dave Sine and all the other photographers that have graced the pages of Double Cross. We could not do this with out you, so thank you very much for your contributions.
Big thanks also to some of our regular contributors, people like Joe Nelson, Billy Rubin, Agent A, Tony Rettman, Jordan Cooper, Larry Ransom, etc. All have been huge assets to Double Cross and we greatly appreciate all your help, effort and time.
Also, we'd like to give thanks to Ed McKirdy over at Livewire Records for lending his help and support to this project.

keith's hairstyle needs a name. any suggestions?
ReplyDeletePersonally, I prefer the OFF! records to most Circle Jerks material.
ReplyDeleteI know Morris has diabetes or so, but he looks very unhealthy; hope he's alright.
