So...Against me to play TBMC (1 Viewer)

but they feel they have been the victims of constant sniping from the extreme fringes of the DIY scene

in fairness, who hasn't.

theres a load of bullshit in this thread - for example people complaining about this but then going to the pogues the other night to see a madly expensive greatest hits show in a bouncer laden barn promoted by mcd

preaching diy til theres a corporate band you wanna see and straight away the cash gets splashed - bullshit.

i don't want to get involved in this cos i never listened to against me (or propagandhi or dillinger 4 or any of those) much and don't give a shite anyway but it has already been said why corporate bands or whatever you want to call them isn't the issue. it's a band preaching diy and then cashing in on the popularity from it. a rotten-faced irish junkie with a voice like a mouthful of blighted spuds has little to do with it.
and the '1988 - not diy, 1998 - still not diy = good' thing, yes that is fine because not everyone thinks everything should be diy. is it ok to do your shopping in a big corporate shop like tescos or buy cans (brewed by who again?) from a spar and still claim to be into diy punk? hmm, thorny one, eh??
