This is Hardcore Fest 2009- Our 4th Year and we’re ready to showcase again what’s best and what’s brightest- the bands that we all know and love, the bands that have busted their balls to get their name up and the ones we should be spending some extra time getting to know. This year will feature more names from the years past then in the last 3 installments of TIH. As I’ve always worked for the working bands, its important to get time to the bands who were an inspiration, a favorite and for a lot of us- Bands whose songs touched us in a way that while they’re no longer playing or as active they’ve made an impact or we’ve become endeared to them. While I will always push to keep the focus of the fest on those bands that are carrying hardcore in the present day, to deny a band as important in recent times as Floorpunch, or to the Suicide File who in their short time have made an impact would be wrong of us.
Reach The Sky came at a time when so many bands were trying to be the next metalcore kings or toughguy champs, yet their songs resonate still inside of so many personal memories that having them on our Fest as a Last Show wasn't even a question for me. It Had to be done.
We as a community need to remember the bands and their messages that came before today, as it was their work that brought us to this point and their influence that birthed today’s hardcore scene.


This it not the final band list, and there are other activities before and during the weekend that we will make announced as we get closer to Fest.

TICKETS
Tickets will be on sale in June. We’ve never sold out a day so don’t stress and worry that it will sell out, just make plans to get your tickets in advance from our website or from the R5 productions site (listed below)
Ticket prices have averaged about 50-60 for the weekend, and without a full lineup I can’t have a final # but it will not be outside of our average, again in about 4 weeks all this will be final and these answers will be provided.

HOTELS
I can tell you we’re working very hard to get accommodations at block rates, but if you are flying in and are worried about getting a place to stay look at our myspace and website for local hotels. Or ask someone who’s gone before, maybe they can tell you where they stayed. Closer to the venue will cost more but may be more convenient.
Across the Ben Franklin Bridge/ Tacony-Palmyra Bridge in NJ are priced a bit cheaper but there it a commute. Again check our sites in a few days as we’re working to update all that information to help you with your accommodations.

TABLES/LABELS ETC
Those labels we worked with in the past will be emailed in a few days and told of the table situation. Please RSVP in regards to the tables asap.
For new people, we also have space but again it’s a first come, first come situation.
Please contact us direct in regards to reserving table space for your Label/Merch company etc.
We DO NOT cater to any political organization, so please don’t ask for table space for your propaganda.


Again thank you all for being very patient in waiting for the announcement.
In the months to follow, look to the myriad of websites we run for the most ACCURATE information. Don’t go on rumor and gossip alone in regards to who it playing or if its sold out.

THANKS!!!!

FUCKING REACH THE SKY, FLOORPUNCH AND SUICIDE FILE !!
Trying my hardest to go this year !!

xCDx

I know I missed Thursday...

I came home from a hard day of soldiering, 4 mile timed run in morning and bullshit running around all day, and I didn't get to do a lot of things. Went to shower and than came out and fell asleep on my bed I missed getting dressed, eating dinner, blogging and a friend's hardcore show. So today I will be doing two posts and one will be a WHOLE Season of a TV show for you. I apologize, but I was dead tired.

xCDx

So more music time...

I am finding myself looking for more and more music daily and having a hard time finding quality shit. SOOOOOoooooooooo I guess I will start uploading daily music and movie/TV download links to my blog.

Let it begin.

Luckiest G33K Alive

So the wife and I are at Wally World buying candy before the movies and she is pulling out change and she pulls out a 10 sided die. I asked "why do you have that in your purse?", she replied "I love you and I never know when a spontaneous gaming event will occur". Wow Vanessa is the woman of my dreams.

I'm back home !!

Yes I know I didn't post while I was deployed.. screw it.. I'm home safe.

Thanks for caring.

They pay me to do this....

Well this week in pictures:


M&Ms Save Lives !!


Been at Air Assault School Training Site all week.


Stock photo, but I had BRM this past week, scored shitty, but oh well.. live targets in a few weeks.


Humvee Rollover Training (yes we are upside down)


Around again, we flipped 5 times and I was the Gunner. The gunner doesn't wear a seatbelt everyone else does, so I was being ping-ponged from side to side with my fellow soldiers trying to hold onto me, thank god for my Army Combat Helmet.

ALSO, this is a HBO Documentary on my unit in Baghdad and where I will be starting August 15th... GRAPHIC FOOTAGE.

Baghdad ER

WATCH THIS !!

Ramallah and Punisher !!!

Punisher War Zone - Trailer in HD

Ramallah and Frank Castle ripping heads off !!

This is the trailer that was shown at the San Diego Comic Con 08... R Rated version. This movie seems that it will be a big improvement in the series and will be taking the violence and revenge to the proper level. Too many of the prior movies have been sugar coated, and this one appears to be a step in the right direction.

The song in this video is from Ramallah, the AMAZING Boston hardcore band with Rob Lindt from Blood for Blood, Sinners and Saints. Unfortunetlly Ramallah is broken up, however "Kill a Celebrity" is still living on as one of the most important records of the last decade, with its hard hitting sound and lyrics like as follows:

Just take a look at the papers, and your leaders:
they're killers and they're liars.
See what they do in your name to make the bodies pile higher.
The murders and the terror, they've done it forever
as we sit back and smile at the script that they sell us.


Check out a video from that album here:

"The Horror and the Gag" - Ramallah - Kill a Celebrity

and than download the album here:

Ramallah - Kill a Celebrity - Mediafire

and read the lyrics here:

Ramallah Lyrics

PLEASE read the lyrics, this album has ALOT to say. If only 1% of hardcore and metal said this much than maybe we would see a difference in our society/scene.

1st post

1st Post :-)

You know those annoying faggots in news threads that do that shit, seriously... ban them all.

Oki here we go... first off, I am not a grammar Nazi so don't critique my spelling or my grammar. 2nd this blog will contain tons of profanity and downloads, so be careful at work, no [NSFW] post thou, I am in the military and I would like to check my own blog at work without being court-marshaled.

So I am stationed at Fort Campbell, KY as of June 17th. I drove all the way here from San Antonio, took 3 days to get here 950@ miles, only drove 5-6 hours a day and than got a hotel room, in fear of my car dying on the way. My wife drove here in 1 day all 16 hours in our new Jeep Patriot to visit me before I go play in the sandbox, she wins, love the vehicle 27 mpg and its roomy. I got to my gaining unit and found out I ship to Iraq on August 15th, will be there for 4 months and be coming back around XXX-Mas. Nice easy tour in the Green Zone, taking care of patients at Saddam's old hospital in Baghdad. Life here so far has been okay, went to one show in Nashville smashed a lot of heads and made some new friends. Just been playing a lot of Team Fortress 2 on the PC and catching up on some new Hardcore releases.

This is the "Real" ARMY here.. combat arms knows how to take care of their troops, and also have a good time. S1 office here got me a ton of money for my move and gave me a ton of time off before my vacation in the sandbox. I have seen a promotion ceremony that involved dumping a trashcan full of baby oil, milk and coffee grounds all over the new SGT and PFC. We had a company fish fry to celebrate July 4th, with the 1SG cooking. I am playing on the company Softball Team and also playing racquetball daily with the NCOs of the unit, they whip my ass. So to say this is a change from my last unit would be an understatement, here unit comrade actually happens, and without all the civilians working with us the drama level is ZERO that I have seen/heard so far.

What I am listening to now (with downloads):

• Cold World - Dedicated to Babies Who Came Feet First
• Have Heart - Songs to Scream at the Sun
• No Warning - Ill Blood
• The Carrier - One Year Later
• Trapped Under Ice - Stay Cold

Enjoy... I plan to update this as much as possible. Right now I am just chillen, hanging with the wife so you might just get movie reviews until I get to the Middle East.
