Lionheart: We're playing a show with Motionless In White. Get over it.

It seems that some of Lionheart's fans are pissed that the band is playing a show with Motionless In White. I'm not surprised, that's how fans can be. But that doesn't make it logical.

Lionheart has addressed the matter smartly, showing deference to Motionless In White and diplomatically telling affronted fans to get over it. Well played, Lionheart.

To all those upset that we are playing ONE show w/ Motionless In White in Hawaii: relax. Please don't use our FB wall as a place to shit talk another band just because of how they look. If they wanna wear makeup and dress like they do, then that's THEIR choice. A far as I'm concerned, they're a hard working touring band out there trying to do the same thing we are. MIW isn't my first choice for personal listening, but then again that's the beauty of music; there's literally something for everyone. If you don't like what you see or hear, you can move on to the next option.

When we got offered the Hawaii show, I wasn't sitting here wondering "man I sure hope those dudes in MIW all wear Camo shorts, air Max 90's, 5 panel hats, and have the correct shin tattoos to go along with it". All these sub genres have gotten so pretentious and clicked up that it's just embarrassing. Yes, LH is a HC band. No, MIW is not. And yes, we are playing together. Big fucking deal. Music is music. HC is not a shitty high school clic of 'cool kids' wearing the right unknown band shirt to every show. It's about the music, the message, and that's IT. That's what this band is about. And as long as LH is around, I'm going to spread that message on any and every show I can, and to whomever wants to listen regardless of how they happen to be dressed.

The bottom line is MIW were kind enough to let LH on THEIR show, and for that I am grateful. It's a chance for the band to go to Hawaii, when it would be otherwise unaffordable. And we're all excited. Hawaii here we come!

"Camo shorts, air Max 90's, 5 panel hats, and have the correct shin tattoos to go along with it" They just made fun of their own fan base. Excellent.

anonymous 8/18/2012 10:30:04 AM

horrible band plays with another horrible band... this is news??

anonymous 8/18/2012 10:37:04 AM

Nobody cares. Eat a dck.

anonymous 8/18/2012 10:41:47 AM

Never heard of either band. This little "address" doesn't make me want to change that.

anonymous 8/18/2012 11:21:52 AM

anonymous 8/18/2012 11:23:44 AM

That's awesome of Lionheart not giving a fck. I back this. Hope volcanos are stoked.

sfthizz 8/18/2012 11:36:01 AM

anonymous 8/18/2012 11:37:43 AM

Don Ho is not stoked.

anonymous 8/18/2012 1:09:12 PM

Why is lambgoat so obsessed with Motionless lately...

anonymous 8/18/2012 2:34:26 PM

Funny. Before "Lionheart" they were called SKY BLEEDS RED and they were dude bitches. Now they think they are hxc heavyweights. TRUE STORY BRO.

anonymous 8/18/2012 3:10:01 PM

both bands blow ass

ineedsalt 8/18/2012 4:13:30 PM

dudes with rotted teeth and open sores because of meth are stoked

f28r06a42n12k 8/18/2012 4:41:53 PM

This type of music is not welcome in Hawaii

anonymous 8/18/2012 6:30:09 PM

Motionless in white should play with End Apathy.... in Utah...... My Captcha contained "islamism"

anonymous 8/18/2012 7:15:40 PM

"Funny. Before "Lionheart" they were called SKY BLEEDS RED and they were dude bitches. Now they think they are hxc heavyweights. TRUE STORY BRO." Total bullshit. Research your shit and/or provide proof. Two different bands.

anonymous 8/18/2012 7:55:43 PM

^^ honestly who cares anyway? That's the point of this guys statement. Music is music. Who gives a fck anymore. All this shit Is so played out. The dude who said that (true or not) is probably just upset cause his shitty band never went anywhere.

anonymous 8/18/2012 8:42:43 PM

This is awesome. Don't really listen to them but I've seen these guys once. Shit was solid!

anonymous 8/19/2012 3:29:50 AM

i'd play with motionless in white too if it meant i could go to hawaii. hypocrites.

blankzzz 8/19/2012 3:58:07 AM

see, what lionheart doesn't realize... HC IS a shitty high school clic of 'cool kids' wearing the right unknown band shirt to every show.

anonymous 8/19/2012 4:40:26 AM

Lou's are stoked

Stupid_News_Poster 8/19/2012 9:11:28 AM

Funny, I don't see any posts about it. Shut the fck up.

anonymous 8/19/2012 11:26:12 AM

time to suck all of the momona dcks

anonymous 8/19/2012 1:07:15 PM

breakdowns and 2steps are stoked

anonymous 8/19/2012 4:51:18 PM

Both bands are terrible regurgitations of music thats been played since the 90's. They'll end up putting make up on each others c-cks to celebrate this gay fest.

anonymous 8/19/2012 4:53:37 PM

Yes, LH is a HC band. No, MIW is not. Big fcking deal. Music is music. contradiction dot com you fcking idiot

LoydChristmas 8/19/2012 5:36:28 PM

this Lionheart bro (band is backed hard by the way) is probly dating one of the chicks from Motionless

snoopy2 8/19/2012 6:11:00 PM

anonymous 8/20/2012 3:23:03 AM

lionfart can kiss my ass. they werent built on struggle. they are fake ass dudes, saying they are from oakland when none of the members never even lived there. built in the rich ass suburbs.

anonymous 8/20/2012 3:27:18 AM

lionheart in fact, DID, used to be called sky bleeds red and, did, used to dress like little gays. they used to play the cave in san jose. all the bay cats know whats up.

XBURNFACEX 8/20/2012 6:35:32 AM

blankzzz posted 1 day ago see, what lionheart doesn't realize... HC IS a shitty high school clic of 'cool kids' wearing the right unknown band shirt to every show. You fcking nailed it.

selfgayhandjob 8/20/2012 8:32:37 AM

Band named after a care bear defends decision to open for ladyboys.

anonymous 8/20/2012 8:38:51 AM

Dude hit the nail on the head about "true" hardcore kids. They'll be crying over this.... Not that "true" hardcore kids listen to Lionheart anyway.

anonymous 8/20/2012 10:35:43 AM

"Bay cats"... Really? What's wrong bro you mad cause your shitty band never went anywhere? I'm from the bay, and have backed that band for a while. Stoked that a band from our area has done some of the stuff they have. Oh and only their drummer and guitarist are 'from' the bay. The singer is from Philly or something and the other two are from sacramento. Give it up.

anonymous 8/20/2012 1:04:49 PM

Gay bands and even gayer people for still talking about this like it matters.

anonymous 8/20/2012 3:32:44 PM

How does anybody "back" this band? It is just boring music, plain and simple. If I wanted to listen to Hatebreed, I would listen to Hatebreed.

anonymous 8/20/2012 3:49:16 PM

they probably don't care that they're playing together because their down for the dck

anonymous 8/20/2012 10:05:37 PM

Yo sup bay catz this tha Lionheart singer. We will be playing a special SKY BLEEDS RED set in Oakland (We are from there yo) sometime next month.. Stay true, stay core

iwilladapt 8/20/2012 10:35:25 PM

this article is hilarious. both bands are equally embarrassing and should kill each other on stage- i'd pay to see that.

anonymous 8/21/2012 12:59:11 AM

"Stoked that a band from our area has done some of the stuff they have." LOLLL what the fck have they done?? Released music and toured?? Really??? Wow... kind of like every other single band one earth?

anonymous 8/21/2012 1:18:17 AM

i thought hawaii was supposed to be a place where one can go to relax. not get a headache from both these garbage bands. grow up and go to college already!

anonymous 8/21/2012 3:46:06 PM

Lionheart is lame, and Motionless in White sucks. But let the sageas do what they want. Floorpunch tho.

anonymous 8/21/2012 9:32:18 PM

lol. I'm sure most of you listen to both of these bands.

anonymous 8/23/2012 3:47:55 PM

yeah, "bay cats." lowlife. powerhouse. resist control. sworn vengeance. glad you like to back this band of fake ass dudes.

anonymous 8/24/2012 10:29:26 PM

^^^ oh please, you don't know shit about powerhouse kid so don't throw their name in there in your attempt to sound O.G.

anonymous 8/25/2012 3:18:27 AM
