also, shout-out to the now-dispersed Red Square scene: Jen Turrell, Rabbit in Red, the Snow Fairies, the Skywriters, Thrift Shop, etc.

Now the question is how many of these bands can tell me where to get a good cheesesteak.

hollertronix: too overhyped / too early to really judge how good it actually is.

fact checking cuz... take note:
ween is incorrect. the band states in the lyrics to "freedom of 76" mannequin was filmed at woolworths; it was filmed at the wanamaker building, where lord & taylor is currently located.
however, woolworth was located across the street on chestnut. it closed in '96-97.

From their previous album:

etc.

Did not mean to make this into a nostalgia Saturday. That usually happens when I'm a bit depressed, which I'm not today.
My other favorite from Fiat Lux follows something like the Great Divide formula:

Altar, good inspirational hardcore:

And the classically brief Rule Worshipper:

Apparently this is all a result of their two albums being reissued last year which I missed.

He-Ho is such a good album. I used to prefer Fiat Lux. I think I like my favorite Fiat Lux songs more, but He-Ho has pretty amazing flow:

Throw in a few bonus tracks of course and that throws off the flow. Mouse was not on the original album. Don't even know where that came from.
― _Rudipherous_, Saturday, 16 September 2017 22:14 (six years ago) link
Although the one-two punch of You and Make Believe at the beginning of Fiat Lux is nothing to dismiss lightly.

Nice to see these reissued on Southern Lord alongside so much Boris!
