Crystal Pistol - CD in the new year!

[Sandy-Hazard]

Hey all, was at CP last in Vancouver. Finally got to see them after making 2 previous attempts.

Put on a great show, total attitude. I spoke to a few of the guys I know in the band and they're very close to signing with a major.

Lets hope so, as we need a bad ass band to kick out the monotony of all this hip-hop drivel. I think the downfall of the hairband era was a lot of the fluff bands and bandwagon jumpers who diluted the scene into a joke (Band names withheld for protection of those may get offended) I think the hip-hop/rap scene is going to eventually implode the way the hairband era did. People that are innovative in hip-hop and rap have said the same thing, that a lot of and I use this term loosely "artists" that are making their scene look like a joke. Rock needs to be fun again, all these nu-metal bands are so brooding and serious. That's why I like the punk scene, It's about having fun and the fashion sure is a hell of a lot cooler.

Holy crap I just went on a tangent. Anyway back to Crystal Pistol they'll definitely be putting out a full length in 2004. Opening band Chinatown was cool as well.

Cheers

i've tried but i just can not get into these guys. they are not bad but they are nothing special. i agree with you on your downfall of the hairband era theory and i would throw these guys in there too. nothing new, nothing original, nothing that stands out. plus, for me the biggest selling point of a band are the vocals and they are not that good here.
