Someone Needs To Say It (and stop it with the posing already)

Is anyone else sick of this over hyped-over-promoted Maui band? Jesus Christ, how is a band that won a battle of the bands that was obviously fixed (by the way they didn't deserve to get out of the first round of that competition because a little band out of Kihei made up of high school kids called Quick Day Scout busted Erin Smith's ass that nite and deserved to win that nite, but luckily Erin had her friends judging. And in the finals Byron or that other young band with the singer who jumped around should've of won but that's for another day) getting so much recognition for being some great transcending band that is just gonna be stuck on this island for the rest of thier lives. The honest truth of the matter is that they're all too old and do nothing spectacular or special to ever warrant any real national recognition. Do you numbskulls know that if you went to any real rock scene in the U.S. whether it be Seattle, Portland, L.A., San Diego, you'd find countless number of bands fronted by a "cute girl in heels" that is way hotter and way more talented than Erin Smith. I mean, "Kihei Town" why are people enjoying this mess of a song. Such great depth and creativity, writing a song about some bozo in a pair of surf shorts and slippers stumblin' around the Triange in Kihei (lol). This sh*t just seems great because you Maui folk have nothing else to compare it to.

And here's another thing, in the last year we've heard this band be talked about as a "punk" band (lol) and "rock" band (raucous laughter once again) and now reggae (which is good, stick to that genre because the throwdowns music is an insult to rock). Their freakin' show was sponsored by Q103, now i don't know much about the radio but isn't Q103 just some crappy hawaiian, island, reggae station. So how can they call themselves a rock band. Just stop it with the posing already.....a gig at the mall for Hot Topic and a gig at the Gap at the shops of wailea. As far as I'm concerned any music associated with the mall and the gap is not "punk", sorry folks, it just ain't. C'mon people, this crap is softer than Chardonnay. Wake up, open your eyes, cotton swap those ears. I think the sand build up from stumblin' around at the beach all day on the south side is effecting your ability to "listen" to good music......Now that someone has said, chew on that!!!!
