Death Grips

[RR Bigman]

I'm pretty good at separating the actions of an individual/group of individuals from their art/product/etc. They certainly won't be getting any of my money, but I'll still enjoy the music.


And let's not turn the above statement into a discussion of downloadan musics over the interbutts

a piece of Zach's kick.

wasn't it just a kid sized kit placed there as a prop?

Zach was probably still the one who bought it but, as I said,

misinformed

damn good

Screw that "punk" ethos crap. I'm tired of punk being trotted out as an excuse for being an asshole. If you don't want to play shows, don't book shows. If you don't want a label dictating anything, don't sign to a label.
Disrespecting the people that give you the opportunity to do what you love to do is so dumb.

Exactly. There's a great Noisey article about this incident, and this quote is especially true/relevant:

"Ultimately, whenever a band—especially a punk band, and especially one prone to outbursts as Death Grips—pulls half-baked stunts like this, it comes across as the equivalent of a stoned teenager wearing an Anarchy t-shirt he bought at Spencer’s Gifts crashing his mom’s Volvo into a ditch on purpose. It’s not rebelling against anything, and it solves nothing. It’s just stupid."

I mean, as if their music wasn't bad enough to begin with...

but "a stoned teenager wearing an Anarchy t-shirt he bought at Spencer’s Gifts" is the target audience.

Yeah it was. Did the people going to the no show gigs get reimbursed for them? I like Death Grips a lot but if some band made me pay for a show and then bailed leaving some lame essay that looks like it was written by a secondary school kid on a fuck projector, I'd fucking want to break all their shit and more.

I read some interesting post somewhere on a forum stating that this was a kind of distancing of image thing on their part. Cool idea but lame as fuck in practice.

Yes. He probably does own one himself doe

I thought that song was lame maybe it will grow on me

Is it the lyrics?

[ChetMagongalo]

Actually the lyrics I like the most. I just think the music is too silly

I was the opposite. I mean "FUCK THIS BIRD BITCH DRINK THIS BLEACH" is just too hilarious to be a serious statement

[ChetMagongalo]

haha yeah it's totally absurd but I think it's fun

If they keep getting more and more unhinged with each album, I wonder how long it will take for them to just be a noise band.

[D.o.S.]

If you have a good reason to fuck me and the plan, then call. Or text.

Heard it hear first.

Also, I'm pretty sure Exmilitary is the only album of theirs I really dig. I can't get into Money Store or the Dick Pic.
