That was merely the first wave!

They turned it down because they were too busy on "hiatus" and finding a ride to chicago would be too hard. A few of the members of that band are my friends and one of is constantly telling me that the reason why the band that I'm is going to have a hard time finding success is because we're not "unique" enough. They honest to god think that they're 1 of 3 ska bands that exist in the whole chicago land area...

Holy shit people still listen to Ska?!
Only thing funnier would be modern nu-metal bands.

The terrible local music I have is more a side effect of the existence of rich kids. So, their parents spring for full string parts on their albums or, oh hey, their dad is a producer, so all their stuff comes out sounding super clean and auto-tuned to perfection. Then, their shows are hosted at Presbyterian churches where you can't curse or be "too loud" because the "levels will suffer if you have your amp up too much". Things like this infuriate me. But, at least they're musically coherent. I guess I just disagree with their methods and their sound.

...because the guitarist's dad owned the only place in town where we could have metal shows, and we could only play if they could play too. And if I did 100% of the booking and promoting, without me or my band getting paid.
But their dads used to party with Pantera, so of course they have the right to be arrogant pieces of shit with no talent and no concept of how music works outside of their small town, their circle of friends, and their small CD collection.
EDIT: I also have to give them credit for the massive amount of inspiration they supplied, because playing with them encouraged us to be the fastest, heaviest, loudest, tightest, most abrasive band in town and put these assholes to shame at every show. Our music wasn't that much cooler, but god damn were we a better band. We wouldn't have practiced so much and gotten so good at playing together if we weren't filled with so much hatred towards the bands we played with.
Did you have them headline so that people could see you then leave?
