The writers of avclub could hardly be considered ’17 year old girls’. You can be a scenester and stick to real hardcore bands, or you can appreciate something new.

Please do not include them in this discussion. There are bands who form to play music and be part of a strong community / help it grow and there are bands who form solely to be worshipped by 17 year old girls. Deafheaven is the latter.

There are dozens of great hardcore bands around the bay – they just aren’t part of the $5 neon wayfarer crowd and thus are not covered by large SF blogs.

Everyone complaining about the lack of music should either go back to their Coachella Pandora stations or, hey, why not start your own band?

Also, anyone involved in any music scene ever knows they’re cyclical. Fear not, another awful Oh Sees type band will come along…

Basically, lol @ myself for caring enough to write that.

That said, how could a band possibly afford rents here? I would be in Oakland or Portland if I was trying to seriously be in a band. Though deafheaven manages it I guess

People move out and people move in, always have, always will. Maybe one of these ham fisted music blogs like bay bridged or sf weekly should do a feature on useless eaters, a great band that moved here from nashville several months ago?
