Yeah, so I guess the initial Weapons hype-hate still exists. Shame. Any thread onlookers don’t trust the villainous haters. A.R.E. are the great overlooked band of the 2000s. Too those who have made their decision perhaps you should evaluate your sense of humor or lack there of.

p.s. Seek out the Peel Session. Was Thomas Bullock on the Peels?

“don’t be scared” is a classic

thomas bullock was a.r.e. weapons. i think that them exploring club rap, teenage thrash, and general americana in the ensuing years has been fairly intelligent and widely misunderstood (really), if not always successful, but that first wave still gets my goat. they had a nicely curated sound/equipment, immaculate vocals, and ‘be nice’ is one of the prettiest, sleaziest songs of all time.

recall that old ‘feature’ that the blow-up did, before they ‘went print’, during that period when today’s 20-year-olds were about 13…in an era of electroclash, dudes with haircuts and bad sneakers, i guess some things from the ’00 – ’03 malaise were kind of neat.

i bought an a.r.e weapons cd back in the day cause vice included them on a list of something like “cool shit from a to z” and they were part of the a entry. i guess that’s pretty pathetic, but fuck, their music is really not good at all.

ive never heard a.r.e weapons (because im a fucking snob and if i hear about them from shitty places i wont check them out) but i will now because street carnage endorses.

The individuality is awe-inspiring. With such compelling lyrics it’s only a matter of time before society ceases to interfere with their way of life.
