a few things I wish to point. What does this page offer that other pages don't? did you go to the page labeled booking?
1. We are putting on 2 of our own shows a month (u-ska does this but only with ska shows ares for any type of Punk-ska hardcore-indie type bands) I think this is something that the scene needs.
2.Punkbeat.com is a show listing nothing more thereis nothing on it that supports the scene. I havn't gone to punkbeat for months because is doesn't change ever.what do we do that punkbeat doesn't. hmmmm Forum,Band listing, Rants, BOOK SHOWS!,put up pictures of bands that are local or roll into town, show reviews, Polls
3. I wasn't aware I needed your permission to make a scene page.It's not costing me any money.I bought the domainawhile ago and the server is free. You obviously don't like me and I new that before you evan stated how you feel. Your completely bias opinion doesn't hurt my feelings at all. What hurts my feelings (and they are hurt)is that you think I'm an asshole son of a bitch. I don't want to be hated I specialy by someone in our scene. Why can't you tell me who you are? maybe there are somethings we need to talk about cause I'm not a bad guy. I don't have to defend my self from a shot in the dark but I want too in this case because you didn't even give my site try. You made a completely irational reveiw of my site. I can take critismbut Iat least exspect it to be acurate.
The entire
">reason to start up a scene page is to provide a
>service for a scene that isn't already being provided"
how could you come here and say that? there is no punk scene page that offers anything close to what we offer Punkbeat DID they don't anymore. I was surprisingly a big supporter of punkbeat.I went there everyday i disagreed with osme of the people that ran it but I still respected whatis was. I didn't think of making this page until they gave up on it. I hope this inspires them to update it cause it is a total crap fest now.
Its fine if you hate me but at least have the balls to stand up and say your name. I don't hide behind aminimatey why do you? Come to the next fight the world show
Dec 8th, Jan 12th, Jan 26th. and tell me my site does nothing for the scene. email all the bands allmy band listing and tell them my site does nothing for the scene. This page is just getting started.If it was someone besides Peter A Jex running this site you would support it. Go to our polls section let your opinion known. But on my forum I expect real names for REAl Opinions
