I am not a big fan of punk rock, nor do I pretend to be. Green Day and Blink 182 are just fine in my book. But I caught a punk show Saturday night in DC at the 9:30 Club, and it rocked. The punk kids (and there were plenty of them present) clearly loved The Curse. A mosh pit extraordinaire ran constant throughout the show. The fans were spitting loogies on stage, and the Philly-based band members were spitting back. Large youths in combat boots collided in the moshing frenzy sending their mohawked skulls crashing to the ground. For a band that was opening for the more well-known Avail and The Casualties, The Curse brought ridiculous energy to the stage. I don't think I understood one lyric of lead singer/songwriter Ben Wolfgang, and from what I understand, that's a good thing in punk music. But The Curse have lyrics (and a core following), as more than one fan avoided security, bumrushed the stage, sang a few lyrics, and then took a swan dive back into the raging crowd. If you're a fan of punk music, I suggest you check these guys out. Don't take my word for it, but rather take a lead from the rabid throngs of hard-core punk fans who injured themselves to the music Saturday night. Their website is http://thecurse.net/start.php. And you can check out a more informed review of their album at http://www.superpunk.com/articles/103889060152181.asp. |

You put periods after both URLs so the show up broken, mate. But other than that, good review. I gotta get to that 930 club one day. |
