INTRO BUST
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.

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.

Man this guy just oooooooozes talent! (but some of the stuff he's done in the last deacade.....eeeeewwwww)
ReplyDeleteDumb.
ReplyDeletein the last decade he couldn't write a proper pop song so he fell in love with hardcore again...
ReplyDeleteThe Walking Concert, solo, & new Rival Schools' Lps were awesome. I wish Walter would give up the HC reunion tours & focus on the now. The music he is making today is far superior to what he did 20 years ago. It's too the bad the past overshadows the present.
ReplyDeleteNice way to ruin a great song.
ReplyDeleteI think its cool to hear a song like this stripped down to the bare basics....
ReplyDeleteIt shows that without distortion and big drums that it is just a good song with great lyrics in any genre...
ATC - it's one thing to say you like what he's doing now but honestly...you can't expect anyone to buy that. He wrote some of the best HC and "post-HC" songs that have ever been written. There are about 6 people that are happy he choose to revive Rival Schools rather than Quicksand which was a better band in every way...
ReplyDeleteAs for those that say he ruined the song - everyone has an opinion....
Walter rules in so many ways. Haters gonna hate !
ReplyDeleteThis is cool.
ReplyDeletefuck nostalgia core. we need a new songs...
ReplyDeleteFuck Anonymous postings!
ReplyDeleteAs for nostolgia core as you call it. The HC that is played today has very little relation to the HC of my youth. That doesn't make it bad - i just don't know that if there hadn't been a running history if very many of today's bands would even be called HC. Most are closer to some sort of metal hybrid and that is fine. It's just not the HC that I love and judging from which bands sell out there is a strong desire not just for nostalgia but to hear bands that are still more on the punk side of the HC pendulum...
BNB had never been bigger than having GB headline with SOIA and AF primarily playing Victim In Pain (punkier than the later albums) and new songs that have "OI OI OI" screamed in them...
Point is I would love to hear new songs from new bands but the world is not the world it was in 84-90 when many of the bands you call nostalgia were coming up. And the bands today are not those bands. There is a reason that oldies and classic rock radio are still popular. People like what they grew up with and younger people often respond to what's good and loved...
GAY.

ReplyDeleteJC Stark-Arts-you are completely right about Walter writing some of the best HC songs ever. No question. Quicksand is my favorite Walter band as well.
My comment was more in response to a previous post that Walter has not written anything worthwhile in a decade. So I may have overstated the strength of Walter's recent work, although I do personally prefer his newer material over GB & Civ but not Quicksand.
sure, walter is a talented dude, but i'm not into his type of bland rock or his acoustic hardcore. his talented would be better used on tv commercials. the only thing he could wow me with is an acoustic version of discipline's "we all learn" , replete with gus sxe's cracking voice.
ReplyDeletebong hits & brew haha's
Classics.... Walter sings the hits. And you knw what? Better he is doing it than Nickleback. It's awesome and true to the Bone.
