Forums: NZ Music,

Mandy Moore is better than The Rabble

Fark!! I hope Mandy knows how much you love her? Have you set up a fan club yet?

You know you don't have many positive posts in this site. Got a real big chip on the shoulder eh!!! It's Christmas man! How bout keeping your sarcasm to yourself? Whatever happened to Christmas Cheer??
Merry Xmas to you too! :-/

Chick-chick-chickadee!

Has a nice ring to it. :)

Actually, thats one of my first negative posts.

>:-D

You are from Wellington...Have you actually ever seen The Rabble play? - they have never gigged in Wellington.

Im actually from Auckland, thanks.

Obviously i haven't seen 'The Rabble' play.. But i downloaded their songs, under the impression it was going to be some really raw crust punk. Unfortunately for me, they sound almost exactly like Rancid. They may take that as a complement, so i guess this post wasnt too deconstructive.

Sorry - I thought you had posted a message about your metal band in Wellington, must've been someone else!
A few people have commented that their sound is similar to Rancid - I don't hear it myself, I find the ska influence in Rancid irritating after about 3 songs, but thats just me - not big on ska...I like Rancid, just not the ska-ish bits.
What (Auckland) or elsewhere bands do you think are worth checking out at the mo?

I don't think I have seen any other punk bands in Auckland quite like the rabble. I don't listen to rancid, but the rabbles music sounds real old school. I love their covers also. I'm no punk, but I can still sing to them.

Auckland bands?

hmmm..

Grenade Kills 3
Dawn Of Azazel
Horde Lorde

and Hybrid Flame of course, which is my band.. but i have to say that.

go HIPPO EATS DWARF!!!!
ok thats enough self advertising for today i think....

yeah marko, you do have some badarse riffs.

¿punk rock?- ¿surely youre cant be serious?

appropriate response= i AM serious- & dont call me shirley

Well why did ya bother to look in this forum then?

Because he is a spoon.

raw

Great looking site. I haven't actually heard any of the Rabble. Oh, i heard them on T.V for the finals but i can't remember what the sound like. I'm d/ling songs now :)

heh heh - this is gonna sound real dumb, but we made a standard band website, you know blah blah just like everyone elses and then thought fuck that - lets have some fun! So my partner and I (he is the tech wizz and I am the arty farty) have been up all night and slogging all day, doin somethin different.
The drummer in the band is a wicked artist so we wanted to create something that utilised his drawings...
Hopefully you got to see the new version! :-)

http://www.therabble.net ]

Yeah i got to see the version with all the cartoons at the start.

nice site, the lead singer sounds like Lars frederikson with tim armstrongs accent O.o but there syles pretty original :) keep it up dudes!

Glad you like the site! There will be a song from the new 6-track on the site soon, we're just deciding which song to put up.
I think they do have an original style - influenced by the old-skool but still quite unique...

http://www.therabble.net ]

Yeah i liek there style and all there songs arent the same wich is good because alot of bands songs are all pretty much the same, so keep it up dudes!

Peace
