Split Time

Another Boy Sets Fire 7" that I picked up. Boy Sets Fire cover two Coalesce songs and vice versa. It also gave me the chance to check out Coalesce again. Sorry, Marcus, but the voice is still so off-putting to me. Can't get into it at all. So, Boy Sets Fire clearly wins this one for me.

I've been reading The Endless Quest blog for a long time. Btw congrats on going strong for seven years, mcs. One band that has popped up a lot is Coalesce. They're a band from the '90s, a period in hardcore I really like, so I thought I'd give them a shot. Well, there's '90s hardcore and then there's '90s hardcore I guess. Or to make it short,  this is not really my cup of tea. Should have read The Endless Quest more carefully I guess. Looking at some entries again, they were often compared and associated with Converge. Now I know that Converge is beloved by many, many people in the hardcore scene. I tried to get into them several times and even went to shows they played, but this kind of hardcore just doesn't do anything for me. The same sadly goes for Coalesce.
