Post CommentThis band photo is the smartest thing they've ever done. Milk it.
No shot she can pull off the cymbal fill at 1:44 live
MH Chaos, Kharma & Sector from Chicago. Also Shane Merrill, his band The Killer & his fest The Rumble. Have at it. BTW are their any bands in or around Chicago who play actual hardcore?
'If we add two slashes in the middle of the song title we won't be ripping off the acacia strain- TAS- Bitter Pill, VCTMS- Bitter // Pill' These assholes cannot create ANYTHING original. They are the george santos of the whineycore scene. Using established trademarks to sell merchandise for 72hour flash sales, using other bands in the same genre to get song title ideas. And yeah- no way she can pull off the cymbal fill live.
When did this bandname without the vowels shit start?
okay now we're really running out of band names
OOOOOOO A WOMAN! LET ME SAY SOME INSULTING OR DISGUSTING SHIT ABOUT HER BEING IN A BAND OR EVEN JUST BEING. THANK GOD YOU BROS GET WHERE I'M COMING FROM!
This band has always been bad. Target audience is retarded 15 year olds.
This band LOVES to welcome themselves onto other peoples buses. They f*cking suck.
Somehow not the worst thing I've heard this week, but you know they treat tour laminates like fashion accessories
"OOOOOOO A WOMAN! LET ME SAY SOME INSULTING OR DISGUSTING SHIT ABOUT HER BEING IN A BAND OR EVEN JUST BEING." ^Thinks men can be women.
"OOOOOOO A WOMAN! LET ME SAY SOME INSULTING OR DISGUSTING SHIT ABOUT HER BEING IN A BAND OR EVEN JUST BEING. THANK GOD YOU BROS GET WHERE I'M COMING FROM!" There is a difference between misogyny and holding people accountable for their bullshit. You can't automatically claim misogyny about a personal attack just because you're a woman. People in marginalized groups are capable of the same type of shitty behavior as people who are not members of those groups.
Music sucks and name is stupid, but it's nice to see a chick on the drums. Wonder if she hits them hard
a xanax bar. how original. these nerds are pushing 30 with no college education, trade skill or assets. how long are their parents going to front this buffoonery and allow them to live at home without benefiting society in any manner. bought on 1215-1235 pm very opening slots on festivals are stoked
lol she's the drummer and at the center of every promo photo they have
Meridith is a much less attractive Emma Booster. I'm not surprised to hear that she has only had sex once.
Victims of what? Being borned in a first world country? f*cking idiots.
Their Spotify description: FILLED WITH BITTER, DEPRESSIVE AND BROODING SELF-HATRED ATOP A CANVAS OF INSTRUMENTATION THAT OSCILLATES EXPERTLY BETWEEN TECHNICALLY-TINTED AND INTENSE TO CATCHY AND CRUSHING, VCTMS NU-INFUSED HEAVINESS DRAWS THE LISTENER IN, DEEPER AND DEEPER LIKE A DRUG THAT LEAVES THE LISTENER BROKEN AND TATTERED—UNABLE TO FEEL, BUT WANTING NOTHING BUT MORE SICKNESS. BAD LUCK SEASON // BAD LUCK CREW
Whole band looks like recovering addicts who now make music for christ
We've reached the point where a band featuring someone from Cane Hill is supposed to be a selling point?
Chick is literally a definition of a stage prop or an excuse to not have to pay a merch girl. Programmed drums on the recording, front in center in the band pics.
Band sucks but this is basically reverse Dying Wish where Meredith does all the work and these guys just ride her coattails.
yo, is she wearing a back brace? she looks like her back broke or her neck is f*cked up. or stuck in a perpetual shrug?
Meredith Henderson is a horrible person. ^ See! Horrible "Person"! How hard is that?
When are the sexual assault allegations starting so we can rid ourselves of this nonsense
"anonymous 54 minutes ago Meredith Henderson is a horrible person. ^ See! Horrible "Person"! How hard is that?" Why are you such a slave to pussy that mentioning their sex ("gender" is fake and gay) twists your nuts? Men and women have their own versions of f*cked up.

I can't believe people are still makin triflin, bottom of the garbage bin ass music like this. Shit is trash. This shit has been done x1000 better by bands before them. I got 2 words for these lame ass sage@z: give up.
Band sucks but this is basically reverse Dying Wish where Meredith does all the work and these guys just ride her coattails ^^ it's pretty clear that she runs the entire show & it's her band - If anything the other members are getting shafted
Shit sucks, but props to Meredith grinding it out independently instead of crying about how unfair it is that the world didn't magically buy 100k copies of their record like the pussies from Sworn In have been.
^^ Anyone can grind it out when mommy & daddy fund your failures
"Anyone can grind it out when mommy & daddy fund your failures" This is the best comment here. You were born white, in rich Chicagoland suburbs. You still live with your parents. Your parents have funded almost every piece of gear, studio time, and merch drop. You get to play shitty metalcore and tour, yet all your albums are about how miserable and upset you are. That is the definition of privileged and entitled. Just because her rich family (with health insurance) dealt with her having cystic fibrosis does not negate all the privileges she's been blessed with. And after ALL THAT, instead of writing songs that mean anything, you pander to angst and depression like a capitalist panders to corporations. This is on top of treating nearly every former band member like a government mule in service of your ego. f*ck this band.

I hope you're ok, my man.
Hi, burning hot haterism here... Is it okay to make fun of the motel art equivalent of metalcore?
What is up with Chicago? Are there ANY bands made up of people actually from the city? It's all upper middle class to rich kids in the suburbs?
no it's all soft nerds from the suburbs. started with like boo, oceano and vom then sworn in made it so all kinds of nerds could break through the minimal tiers. all aforementioned are laughable
Seacago > Chicago Sharky & George kept their city safe
You were born white, in rich Chicagoland suburbs. You still live with your parents. Your parents have funded almost every piece of gear, studio time, and merch drop ^ Sounds exactly like Minor Threat. Bunch of filthy rich, spoiled white kids whose parents bought them and their friends the most expensive camera equipment of the time so they could record their hardcore circle jerks where they screamed about how great they were because no girls wanted to f*ck them... sorry, I mean because they CHOSE to not f*ck girls. Sounds exactly like Bad Religion (but Jewish, not white). Sounds exactly like The Clash, who were filthy rich middle class and larped as oppressed working class revolutionaries (and even dressed like it). 90% of punk and hardcore is rich kids screaming because they WANT to be victims (very high female energy)
