About Me

I'm usually SO annoyed by bands from Olympia. You know why? I'll tell you why: they have it TOO easy! Olympia is the home of K Records and Kill Rock Stars. So it's easy for a mediocre band from the small-ass town of Olympia to get a deal with either of these prestigious labels. All the college radio stations cream their pants for anything with the K or KRS stamp of inde approval. I've seen it before. Why can't Olympia be like any other town? Why can't they have great unsigned bands that break up after not releasing anything?-- Myles Cooper world famous in san francisco
