Jake Bannon and Dwid start new band

Converge frontman Jake Bannon, Integrity's Dwid, and artist Stephen Kasner have joined forces to form a new group called Irons. Described as "a collective effort to create apocalyptic, non-linear music from a primal fine art based mindset," Irons is currently writing and recording material for a Deathwish Inc. release, which will hit streets next year. Additional information can be found here.

anaturaldisaster 12/4/2007 9:34:05 PM

Either gonna be album of the year material, or unlistenable.

solaceinviolence 12/4/2007 9:48:13 PM

xnotsoedgex 12/4/2007 9:49:04 PM

i don't think this could possibly be any gayer...what a fcking gimmick

danosaur 12/4/2007 9:50:47 PM

sounds a little lame. hope it isn't.

jeremysignals 12/4/2007 9:55:32 PM

if this band was the same musically but without the names they would never be signed. especially not to deathwish.

imalright 12/4/2007 10:01:18 PM

ramallah

chaseNC 12/4/2007 10:01:50 PM

do you gays even listen to music or do you just get on lambgoat and hate on every band for the sake of getting a rep? eat a fat dick.

iron_tacos 12/4/2007 10:07:07 PM

for all you know-it-all shit talkers, you 'no care' blah blah bullshit... id love to know what kind of stupid trash you listen to, point is you still come to this site so you must like some of the music. fckin fck head wannabe elitist fck offs.

jim_dangle 12/4/2007 10:14:49 PM

not sure which post is gayer, the actual news article itself or iron_tacos reply. still debating with a team of judges

chrisd 12/4/2007 10:24:28 PM

sounds like it has the potential to be really good. pretty homoerotic description of it, though.

rob_tcp 12/4/2007 10:30:34 PM

"a collective effort to create apocalyptic, non-linear music from a primal fine art based mindset" aka converge 2

chas 12/4/2007 10:35:15 PM

keithxedge 12/4/2007 11:21:13 PM

You know,Im sure a majority of the kids on here dont even remember Integrity,much less know who they are.But Im sure they all bought "Heroes" and "You Fail Me"

cryptic_slaughter 12/4/2007 11:42:00 PM

I remember Integrity pretty well and STILL don't give a shit about this. No click ever.

swampthang 12/4/2007 11:52:52 PM

taintcore 12/5/2007 12:41:55 AM

There are now officially more bands with pluralized singular names than not.

fkscenes1021 12/5/2007 12:55:44 AM

fine art based mindset. what the fck is this supposed to mean?

tardarm 12/5/2007 1:00:40 AM

this is probably going to be the greatest thing of 2008 you douches don`t know shit

thebigredmachine 12/5/2007 1:50:04 AM

wigjam 12/5/2007 1:52:21 AM

art gays

thebigredmachine 12/5/2007 2:11:11 AM

"non-linear music"... does this mean they're gonna start off by doing windmills?

vcreationv 12/5/2007 2:14:42 AM

LOL @ the kids on here making fun of something that will probably be pretty cool when 99% of you have never written a song in your lives.

metal_bob 12/5/2007 2:16:02 AM

*humps this thread and drops a load* - 90% of LG

bdsaves 12/5/2007 2:39:31 AM

fck, this is gonna be amazing! im sure most (if not all) you poeple siad this is gonna be "lame" just listen to youth crew and are like 15/16 years old. but hey i could be wrong.

sgd54 12/5/2007 3:35:22 AM

Jake Bannon and Dwid are trying to be cutting edge, why can't you all apreciate that?

thevenaedge 12/5/2007 3:41:42 AM

i like converge but i'm willing to bet money that jake bannon wrote that disgustingly pretentious description

ChesterTheMolester 12/5/2007 4:04:22 AM

Still cant get into the last converge record. A bit too artsy/abstract for me. I have a feeling this will be similar :(

janitor_joe 12/5/2007 4:13:44 AM

Dwid is a crazy motherfcker.

CrucialMotives182 12/5/2007 4:16:04 AM

converge = real music gayS!!!

Majority 12/5/2007 6:00:31 AM

anything involving dwid is bound to be fcking epic

weaponben 12/5/2007 7:36:46 AM

oh right...cos this isnt going to be the most pretentious sounding wank since fcking mogwai...fck arty wanky music!

zampano 12/5/2007 7:39:34 AM

Err, how can music be non-linear? It starts, then it ends. That's what it does.

methmouth 12/5/2007 7:57:14 AM

who's gonna play what though? Looking forward to songs about Self-Loathing/Armenians/World is Shit etc etc etc.

portslob 12/5/2007 9:29:21 AM

perilsofreasoning 12/5/2007 10:00:48 AM

Flamboyant_Cowboy 12/5/2007 11:53:23 AM

This should be good.

solaceinviolence 12/5/2007 12:30:22 PM

*will only be allowed to tour on the east coast*

boonster 12/5/2007 12:31:26 PM

so stoked!!!

adam_HELLBOUND 12/5/2007 12:47:44 PM

this is some seriously gayy shit right here. what the fck is "non-linear" music? music is arranged sound, arrangement implies linearity.

hussle 12/5/2007 12:49:50 PM

great, more neur-isis

ricky 12/5/2007 1:03:53 PM

if you're alone does that mean no one likes you???

setsamalac 12/5/2007 1:39:44 PM

vcreationv 12/5/2007 2:14:42 AM LOL @ the kids on here making fun of something that will probably be pretty cool when 99% of you have never written a song in your lives. or better yet, even picked up an instrument.

justhaveheart 12/5/2007 2:08:20 PM

"a collective effort to create apocalyptic, non-linear music from a primal fine art based mindset".......so basically converge jr. with same frontman/different members.

redsunrises 12/5/2007 3:17:05 PM

Can anyone spell pretentious?

redsunrises 12/5/2007 3:18:12 PM

christ save us from the destruction of music as we know it....

Nowonmai 12/5/2007 4:07:02 PM

haters are gay, listen to it before knocking it. supermachiner was cool.

DannibalTheCannibal 12/5/2007 4:11:55 PM

so.. a collective effort to create a "disclosed", "dynamical" music from a "first importance" fine art based "disposition". - i think these adjectives should've been used instead to make it sound less "Psywarfare"...

xote 12/5/2007 4:39:43 PM

I'm not surprised everyone thinks this will suck. But I have faith in these guys. Should be pretty cool.

titsmcgee 12/5/2007 5:27:35 PM

"A collective effort to create apocalyptic, non-linear music from a primal fine art-based mindset" It's music, not rocket science. This band is a joke.

pukeskywalker 12/5/2007 10:53:56 PM

dwid + kurt ballououuo would be better

cryptic_slaughter 12/5/2007 11:34:27 PM

xvegeedgex 12/7/2007 12:10:35 AM

hsr 12/7/2007 1:46:14 PM
