Green Day 1039 and Kerplunk come to mind. In only the most flattering way.

Sounds nothing like Jets to me. Much more Bay Area influenced.
Just the vocals, the way he's singing reminds me of Jets more than Jawbreaker, musically its definitely pop-punk and nothing like JTB.

Nice! cool vids, except for that obnoxious skank wearing the red dress. Looks like the kind of girl I'd like to drown in a vat of hot donkey piss.
heh. I guess The Thorns Of Life should prepare themselves for their audience's (predictable) Battle cry: "PLAY SWEET AVENUE!!" During JTB's tenure it was "PLAY KISS THE BOTTLE!".

Oh holy shit that girl was a bitch. She was so insanely pissed that people were taking pictures, saying it it was more punk to just enjoy the show...but wasn't it Blake himself that had quite a lot to say about the merits of NOT being punk in a certain song???
Regardless, Thorns of Life were amazing. I was never able to see JB or JTB so this was all I could ever ask for, really. Incredibly perfect, the songs were the best, it's all we could want, let's pray for a record and a tour.
Oh and thanks to Doug about the heads up for the show!!

Huh. Wow, who knew I was such an insanely great judge of character. Although,I'm confused about her "being pissed" about people snapping photos. I mean what business is it of hers? what difference could this possibly make to her? Is she some kind of sacred guardian of this new band's likeness. "The Thorns Of Life Image Nazi"? heh.
Or was it because it was the low-key/semi-secret unveiling of Blake & Aaron's new band - and she felt like it was something that shouldn't be exploited/exposed in some way and so she took this burden upon her shoulders and annoited herself scene babysitter?
Fuck, how is that 'punk' anyway?? How is 'not taking pictures' a punk thing to do? That's hilarious, especially considering theband is obviously way past/above some ridiculous code that let's face it, doesn't mean shit.
Let me just say, if I had been there,and she had said something like that to me, I would've whipped my John Thomas out,pissed all over her leg, shake it out once, then zip up and "say "HOW WAS THAT HONEY?!?!? WUZ THAT PUNK ENUFF FER YA?!?!?!?!"
What this bitch needs is a life. A career, a mortgage, a spouse, a family to feed and support, a fucking reality check. Then all this stupid bullshit about what's punk and what ain't would melt away quickern you could say "Sid Vicious Rulez!" forever. Give me a fucking break.
I'd like to reiterate my desire to drown this twat in a vat of donkey piss. Sounds like it would be a mercy killing.
Oh, and guys - let me just go on record and say that anyone who uses the word "Broseph" ISN'T punk, dewd.

Sounds like she was a luddite...later on did you see her you attacking any mechanized looms?
My favorite thing to say to people who talk about what is or isn't punk is ...."Punk is whatever you say it's not".
Three cheers for the 2nd picture down with the dude behind the amps swilling a beer and holding one hands up in rapture! Looks like fun, hopefully they'll make their way down to Florida, the armpit of the south. They should have played The Fest, I'd have gone for sure then...

I love how the girl is waving her hand up and down relentlessly and yet it is the camera snaps that are the distraction.
Aaron's drumming is a perfect compliment to Blake.

Kinda OT - but Hugh, I wanted to compliment you on your terrific blog. A nice looking, entertaining and informative little corner of the web I must say - one that I would recommend to any indie rock/pop fans. Well done. Keep up the good work.
