CEMENT. BRICKS , METAL WIRE, THAT LEAD AND BUILD UP TO SIDEWALKS AND ALLEYS. CEMENTED ALLEYS AND TUNNELS LEADING TO BRIDGES AND TUNNELS, TO THE LIE. THE BIG LAUGH. THE ISLAND.... THE CITY. THEY ARE BOTH FUNNY. THEY ARE BOTH A JOKE. BOTH AS DIRTY. ETHNIC: FIVE TIMES FANTASTIK, FOUL-MOUTHED, SELF PROFESSED CREATORS OF "DIRTBAG MUSIC" ORIGINALLY FROM STRONG ISLAND, ETHNIC WAS COURTED BY THE HARDCORE SCENE AS A PHENOM IN THE LATE 90's BEFORE ULTIMATELY BEING BARRED FROM THE OFFICES OF THEIR OWN RECORD LABEL(FRAMEWORK). ACCUSED OF SHIT YOU DON’T EVEN WANT TO BE ASSOCIATED WITH. TOO MUCH TO MENTION. A BAD RAP FOR EVERYTHING. BLACKLISTED FOR LIFE FROM NUMEROUS RECORDING STUDIOS AND FOR A FEW YEARS FROM THE ENTIRE U.S. CLUB CIRCUIT! THEY KEPT PLAYING IN OTHER BANDS SUCH AS SCAPEGRACE, HALF MAN, STRIPED BASSTARDS, SCIENCE DIET, 52X, DAWN OF BATHOS AND LAMAGNA TO NAME A FEW. FACT IS. THEY WERE THERE FROM THE START. WHEN BANDS LIKE THE CRUMBSUCKERS WERE SPOILED WITH FREE GUITARS PROVIDED BY RELATIVITY RECORDS THE DIABOLICAL E MELTED DOWN THEIR ENTIRE RATCAGE COLLECTION OF AF AND BEASTIE BOYS JOINTS TO MAKE PICKGUARDS FOR THEIR MOCK GUILD X79 GUITARS AND BASSES WHICH THEY LATER BROKE INTO PIECES DURING SETS WITH SUCH BANDS AS BORN AGAIN$T, JAWBREAKER, THE REFUSED, INTO ANOTHER ETC...AS MEN, AS MEMBERS OF THE GROUP AND ON VACATION IN THE CITY OF ATLANTIC THEY BUMPED INTO WOMEN OF THE NIGHT WHO POSED AS "FRIENDS". FORCED TO WATCH HOURS OF BATMAN EPISODES, MR.DRISCOLL AND OSAMA RENTED LOCAL CLOWNS TO TEACH THESE GIRLS A LESSON IN CREATING AN ATMOSPHERE, REVERSING SEXISM AND APPRECIATING THE FINER THINGS IN NEW JERSEY. ENTHUSIESTS STILL SEEM TO HAVE A PROBLEM COMPLYING WITH THE ETHICS OF THE SO CALLED EVIL E. ITS NOT SO BAD. WE ARE BEATEN MEN. WHATEVER MAN. MISUNDERSTOOD. GRAB A PIECE OF THIS. FROM THE HOTEL ROOMS TO THE ALLEYS.... FROM THE DEATH CAMPS....... TO THE HOLY LANDS...... FROM THE WAREHOUSES WHERE THESE FIVE GUYS STAND. ETHNIC TWO THOUSAND FOUR FIVE SIX AND BEYOND. NEW YORK HARDCORE.
HOW DO YOU LIKE THEM NOW?
CHECK IT!

This is one band and probably the only band I am looking forward to seeing again after seeing the first incarnation of ethnic. I'm really pysched to see this new return of them.
Bridge and Tunnel BroadOct 25, 2004 02:39 PMThere are 35498609849068490684 hotter girls on myspace with more professional looking pictures you could have used. AND they'd probably be willing to take off more than that. But hey, your choice. I'm flattered dot com.

what evidence can i offer? i should have kept peices of broken window glass from all the shows at deja 1 as proof of how "tough" long islanders are. all i can offer is my memory, and how ethnic, in my opinion, rose above the melting macho cheesepot that has now successfully turned to shit out there.
awesome!!! thanks srd and the diabolical e

once again i hear talk of a neglect reunion. since i know they are gonna wuss out on killing themselves at the end (not that theyre even gonna play cause they're not), you have to bring the dynamite. because alot of people don't need to be taking up my air. besides, you guys got back together first. and you guys actually like each other. probably.
probablybrothers hugo?

Subject: wow!
Body: Steve,
Hey what's up? amazing you are on here. i am not sure if we ever actually had a conversation or anything but scapegrace meant alot to me. i am not sure how to articulate this without a long boring detail or to encapsulate it without it being encrypted? But... In '94 i enlisted into the Marine Corps (did my four years and got out in '98.) it completley fucking sucked for the most part.up untill then all i knew was "scene" related, anyhoot, at one point around 1995 at the Jacksonville, N.C. local mall i saw a couple of young skater kids and one of em was rockin' a scapegrace t-shirt. it hit home and it felt good to see that. this was before internet so it was a lot more sincere.
those were good days. the framework shows, the angle/hotel lenningrad, stony brook college. i stumbeled on your profile from the ethnic profile what i heard on there sounds amazing and not too much of that stuff moves me.
just wanted tosay hi and "thanks."
