grudge city hardcore

this is a call to all inhabitants of the salt lake area who claim to support hardcore music. it seems today that many of you have forgotten how lucky we have become to be able to attend a few shows a week. years ago we were lucky to have a show every four months. few realize how awesome it is to have actual HARDCORE KIDS booking HARDCORE SHOWS, as appose to some shitty club owner who only wants to peddle booze and could give a shit less if hardcore in utah dies out. in the last few months the number of kids who go to shows has seriously dropped. though few kids are showing up to shows these days many of you still claim to care. far too many of you bitch and moan about how hardcore is dying, how hardcore means so much, and so on and so forth, yet dont go to shows. many of those same kids were among the many who complained about there being a complete lack of bands coming through...well were the fuck are you now.this is not about hostility, this is about reaching out to everyone to take the time to support something they claim to love.but hey, maybe you dont claim to love hardcore, maybe your just into the bands who are the pick of the week as far as hardcore is concerned. if thats the case you more than any should try coming out once in a while to shows though your favorite band isnt playing. this is where those bands came from. this is where they started, at real shows, with real kids who care about something.again, this isnt about hostility, this is because we care. everyone is welcome, that is what hardcore music is about, new people sharing views...expression.so show up, be counted, what the fuck else are you doing most nights. put off buying that new hat and drop a few dollars at the door to help support real kids trying their hardest to bring great music through our state. try stopping buy and helping out a touring band that isnt as big as bleeding through or as i lay dying who you may think is just as good and have no idea existed...after all, theres no way youve heard EVERYTHING.no longer will you have the excuss of "i didnt know there was a show last night." its now on you...get off the computer and make your mark.
