So I’m a little late to my own party -
Day 1 - I just found out about Knub this year though I missed their show in town. Heard the band then realized it was my old pal Dave from Commonwealth/Onespot Fringehead whom I played a bunch with in high school and college. This is his newest band - heavy post punk stuff not unlike his previous ones .band
Day 2 - I actually saw The Hated twice in the last year with different things good and bad about each time but glad I finally got the chance. Still waiting for to reissue the stellar Every Song LP.
