Pretty much say "Hey our band sucks and were broke give us money' get a job its not 2004

MeatDelivery 7/1/2013 5:57:13 AM

Crowdfunding is the modern day way to sell out. One of you gays should just get godaddy.com tattooed on your face to pay for the album.

This might be the most ridiculous crowdfunding endeavor yet.

as gays beat n1gg3rs

anonymous 7/1/2013 6:39:28 AM

This band fcking blows. They have (and never will) put out anything listenable. Sadly, Hot Topic shopping, gays will shell out money for these douche bags.

anonymous 7/1/2013 6:53:46 AM

"seriously where did the mexicans go" Got real jobs. Landscaping, roofing and hanging drywall.

anonymous 7/1/2013 7:06:13 AM

New singer is way too good for this gay ass band. 50 grand to record out of their guitarists house? Are you fcking shitting me?

i_talk_shit 7/1/2013 7:13:04 AM

what is "linear" about liner notes?

anonymous 7/1/2013 7:32:20 AM

This is just getting ridiculous. Wine tasting on a f'in island. Come on.

anonymous 7/1/2013 8:11:06 AM

Maybe if your band didn't ride the same album for 20 years and kept the lineup intact you wouldn't be here....who am I kidding you would still be here, DEFONCED

LoydChristmas 7/1/2013 8:25:12 AM

shit band but gotta admit the one perk with the VIP pass to all shows + free merch at each show would be worth it to whoever is a fan.

anonymous 7/1/2013 8:30:42 AM

hahahahah same album for 20 years

maclynb 7/1/2013 8:36:17 AM

did the dude just say "vinyls" @ 2:37 ?

anonymous 7/1/2013 8:53:27 AM

GFYS, give up.

wait, all of you guys watched the video?

anonymous 7/1/2013 9:02:59 AM

Recording at the guitarists moms house costs 50 grand apparently lol

They would have been paid to do this more than likely as it sounds rehearsed. But this is our world now. We need to promote ourselves order to be not so much successful, but just to survive, if you're unable to pursue this means you get ousted, unable to make a living, therefore, you can't survive and will suffer, it's very elementary. So they are doing the right thing by putting themselves out there.

lockouts in San Pedro are stoked!

anonymous 7/1/2013 9:58:38 AM

dont know why everyone hates on crowdfunding. its just bringing you closer to the bands you enjoy and cutting out middlemen. if you don't like them, guess what - they wont get your money.

anonymous 7/1/2013 10:00:21 AM

no mexicans no care

anonymous 7/1/2013 10:14:58 AM

I just got back from washing my car. When I was done I bought coke. Then my aunt slanged my dick. Anyone else want to share meaningless stories about themselves?

anonymous 7/1/2013 10:22:12 AM

"some members of ABRB are homeless and are couch surfing, living out of suitcases in order to make ends meet to maintain the ability to stay on the road to play music" Sounds like it's time to quit playing deathcore and get a real job then.

Why don't you douchebags get out of that swanky hotel and get jobs to pay for your new record like REAL metal/punk/hardcore bands have been doing for years and years and years? Oh...You're too good for that? fck you.

anonymous 7/1/2013 12:09:05 PM

this band is filled to the brim with gays

anonymous 7/1/2013 12:10:55 PM

So if they sign to a label, they'd have to follow a time honored tradition? Wow, that would be ridiculous, they definitely should take enough money from their fans to last one album, and tour cycle until they break and have to sign with a label.

anonymous 7/1/2013 12:14:37 PM

What's cool is you can go to a vacation spot with the band, that you fcking paid for. Think about how fcking stupid spending that free time, and money on something productive sounds!

marching_band_rules 7/1/2013 12:21:38 PM

"dont know why everyone hates on crowdfunding. its just bringing you closer to the bands you enjoy and cutting out middlemen. if you don't like them, guess what - they wont get your money." a deathcore band is not some arena rock group that rabid fans can be 'brought closer' to. they're a deathcore band asking impressionable teenagers to pay for the making of a record that could be recorded and pressed for a tenth of their goal. this is shameless sell out bullshit

anonymous 7/1/2013 12:43:19 PM

There is some serious audacity going on here when you have obviously upper middle class white people in sunny California begging for money. Ask your parents, it's what you've done your whole life anyway.

anonymous 7/1/2013 2:00:34 PM

It totally costs 50k to press merch and to record on protools. This band is a fcking clown act. Asking 16 year old scene kids to borrow their parents money for this is fcking ridiculous. Must suck to be jobless and have a band that's had 100 members.

fresh new merchandise options ^^^^^^^^^^ Get a fcking job.

anonymous 7/1/2013 5:50:28 PM

This is pathetic.

anonymous 7/1/2013 5:58:47 PM

How many Hugo Boss shirts can you buy with $50,000?

anonymous 7/1/2013 6:39:06 PM

OK Hold on... They're begging for money... WHILE They are staying at some swanky hotel? WTF? Seems fishy.

anonymous 7/1/2013 6:51:42 PM

These guys are legit. Last album was the t-ts. Will be backing hard.

MacGyver 7/1/2013 9:20:28 PM

Do not want. Last CD was utter shit.

anonymous 7/1/2013 9:28:17 PM

literally would pay for this band to stop. That was hard to watch.

anonymous 7/1/2013 10:47:18 PM

hey we can afford to drink beer & shit but give us 50K. gays.

anonymous 7/1/2013 11:57:13 PM

Toured with 'As Blood Runs Black' in 2007. Not a single member here is represented. Why the fck are they still using this name?

anonymous 7/1/2013 11:58:47 PM

Oh. Never mind. Leche is still there. Didn't even watch the video ;)

anonymous 7/2/2013 12:01:05 AM

Nick is still there too? Why am I posting on lambgoat? I quit!

anonymous 7/2/2013 7:54:19 AM

Maybe their campaign would work if they had a time machine

anonymous 7/2/2013 9:55:53 AM

"and much more" aka their bank accounts

anonymous 7/2/2013 10:11:14 AM

"Tightening up our nuts and boats."

anonymous 7/2/2013 12:24:22 PM

if i'm not mistaken they were part of some gayy ass sales pyramid for timeshares or some shit. I bet they lost all their money to that shit

anonymous 7/2/2013 12:36:27 PM

Pre Production $1,500 Rehearsal Studio $2,800 Per Diems @ $25 - $3,500 Trailer $3,500 Gear Purchase (replace stolen, pre-pro, studio) $3,200 Artwork $2,500 Campaign Exclusive artwork $1,000 Studio Time (Track, Mix, Master) $15,000 Travel $1,500 Accomodations $1,800 Misc $700 Per Diems at $25 a day for each person? "Misc", "Accomodations"? You fcking scam artists. They're recording this at their fcking guitarists house. His moms house no less.

anonymous 7/3/2013 5:15:53 AM

The album would be exactly the same/same art/same quality /same distribution whether they got $10k or $50k. They just wouldn't be able to live it up without the other $40k. I mean they're in LA at a hotel that costs more per night than some people's monthly rent. I guess whatever people wana spend money on, but it seems like these bands are getting away with asking too much. They want label money but don't have label resources or label infrastructure to tap into.

anonymous 7/3/2013 8:37:00 AM

The Old Navy tanktop display is stoked

anonymous 7/4/2013 6:50:37 AM

ill be supporting you guys - breaking away from a label is bold, its awesome that the fans get a say. its what kids have been saying they want, but they dont get how to has to happen from the bands perspective. most people leaving comments here are fcking idiots and obviously don't know the industry.

anonymous 7/4/2013 8:55:16 AM

need 50 grand for more shitty beer

anonymous 7/4/2013 12:42:02 PM

obviously the gay two posts above me doesn't know that Nick/Leche are some of the biggest fcking degenerates in the "industry." you also clearly don't know that there is a typical protocol to remaining a respectable band that can be relied upon. I'd be willing to bet the $50,000 that they're asking for that a large bulk of the kids who actually donate to this stupid bullshit WON'T get what they "donated" for.

anonymous 7/4/2013 2:08:47 PM

They have what, one original member now? Seriously they have enough former members to make like 5 bands out of.

anonymous 7/8/2013 8:05:41 AM

ITS THE fckING CATALINA WINE MIXER!!!
