These dudes are smart. They like writing the material they feel like writing. I doubt they would sign to a label they felt would deter them from writing anything other than what they feel like writing.

Listen for synth breaks and "dance-y" parts.

To everyone posting these gay as fuck comments like "no, omg this band is ruined!!!", get real. It doesn't matter what label they're on. You're still going to download that shit anyways. They're still making the same music. They're still the same dudes. I don't even care for this band anyways, no matter what label, but get real.

its impressive that these guys can continue making records using the same two notes over and over
4/17/2012 1:25:44 PM
Congrats to TAS...who the hell cares what label their on, they are one of the few bands that have never sold out their core sound (although Wormwood wasn't the best, hopefully we'll get some Continent-type shit on the new album)

They're fit in with with the reent batch of Rise singings, like Hot Water Music, Bouncing Souls, Make Do and Mend and so on. Although, they could collaborate with As Thick As Blood
anonymous

"They'll fit in," rather
4/17/2012 2:43:27 PM
You're right lol that actually was silly of me. I guess I mean hardcore comparative to Rise's lineup. A NYHC fan would slap me for saying that.
anonymous
4/17/2012 2:49:46 PM
Who the fuck cares about this band anymore? They're fronted by a pretentious, overweight douchebag who seems to think he's the gospel of hardcore. I hope Rise fucks them over.
4/17/2012 2:50:13 PM
I can honestly say this is definitely thrown in from right field... I'll buy it regardless of the label but they always seemed to be happy on Prosthetic...

I'm hoping that my bleeding through inspired theory that rise records is where at one time decent bands go to fizzle and die is correct. This band was KIND OF okay. doesn't matter what color ribbon you tie around a piece of shit, its still a piece of shit.
anonymous
4/17/2012 8:56:36 PM
This band has always been garbage and I'll fight that gay fat nerd singer at any show....Congrats, you are now on a label with Manoverboard, a band that I hate almost as much as you
anonymous

Sludgy nut cunt. Acacia Strain and Rise Records makes me think they'll make Rise into a comedy series on realTV. Vincent Bennett and Craig Ericson go head to head in this weeks daily challenge. Man, I hope TAS can suck 15 inch dicks, because they'll be making fat stacks on rise. Having a mansion with 10 bathrooms so they can shit all day. Fuck it, I bet they made a good decision career wise. It's not like the industry didn't turn into money 30 years ago or anything...
4/17/2012 9:03:46 PM
^ please make this happen. i want to watch someone challenge a nerd in a band and actually do it. ill touch your peepee...

4/17/2012 9:32:43 PM
I don't think Rise Records is a bad label or anything it's just most of the bands they have signed the last few years. The only bands that stand out are Bleeding Through, and Legend.

what the fuck happened to lambgoat? i leave for a couple years and come back to this? 90% of these comments are praising tas or getting butthurt because rise will "change" the acacia strain's sound. are you fucking serious? they've made a career out of writing the same song over and over. why would they change that now? band sucks. record label sucks. fuck it.

From their Facebook page; ?"For those of you who haven't heard yet, We've signed with rise records! If you think this will change us as a band or our sound you couldn't be more wrong." - D.L. from his personal page.

4/18/2012 10:11:29 AM
Of course its about the money, theyve been playing a decade plus, preaching about hate, rise isnt the best label but its a label that gets their bands going regardless of who they are, I mean who wouldve thought fucking miss may I would still exist. Their the best band in their genre. I cant hate on the decision.

funny no one mentions that THIS IS HELL is signed on Rise as well. And they're actually a real hardcore band. And no, this isn't me insinuating that TAS is hardcore. its me saying that a band can sign to a label and still make the music they want. This Is Hell doesn't have shitty dub step parts or cleans or any shit like that. now quit existing you fucking morons.
