cold world is so corny and just sincerely weird dudes, but title fight is still so sick. they’re a super formative band for me. i wanna shout out siren records on some same-county shit but siren sucks, especially as a venue, and everyone knows it.

i remember exactly how i felt listening to floral green the first time. i still feel that way when that drum roll starts. i always wonder what would have happened if hyperview sounded like blacklisted like the songs they went into the studio with

Were you not a fan of Siren as a venue/record store even when it was on the 2nd floor on Main Street back in 2008? I played Siren after it had moved to across the County Theater on State Street, and it was definitely different, for sure.

I grew up in Bensalem, and we didn’t have much of a scene after the early 2000s - just before I started going to shows, we had Polanka Park, which so many rad bands had played. By the time I was in high school, there wasn’t shit going on and it was me and my one other friend or few who were the only kids who liked punk an its other subgenres.

That all being said, not having a record store in my sprawling-ass, gigantic shit town that was too big for itself, not having a Main Street, not having a music scene, had me just really excited to go to any show or be at any venue. So, I can’t really include myself in that “everyone” who knows it sucks. I don’t say this to be contrarian or condescending or to say you took things for granted - just saying why I’m not one of those people, and I genuinely ask what is up with Siren and what is it that you say everyone doesn’t like about it.

i’m talking about the one after it moved and was on the first floor on main street. i was way too young and uninvolved to see the first iteration. i also went to high school in bensalem and am from bucks county too, so i feel you on having nothing in the form of culture. i just always hated playing siren. the owner was a dick, the shows always felt weird and they would always find a way to condescend to you about the most meaningless shit. out of curiosity, how old are you? did you get to catch the heyday of the doylestown thing? bc i would have loved to catch all those bands on the come up.

in conclusion, i was slapping while drunk and maybe took some exaggerated shots at siren. it’s fine, i just had bad experiences playing there.

i can admit that i wasn't too into cold world back when they were active(sadly probably went outside during some of their sets lol) and didn't fully give em a chance until it was too late. babies born feet first is such a fun album once i realized they weren't taking themselves too seriously. shit slaps lmao https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4CD7TXMaGOk&ab_channel=toxicterror55

Sounds about on par for Central Bucks - the condescension and things. Central Bucks is wack.

I’m 31, turn 32 next month, and graduated from Bensalem High School in 2008. I’m not exactly sure what is regarded as the heyday of Siren, but I started going there in the fall of 2007 - went to see Title Fight, and I think I was with two friends and Bill, who was doing Flightplan Records at the time and putting out the Kingston 7”.

I’m pretty sure I was at Balance & Composure’s first show. Even got to see Title Fight play with Algernon Cadwallader, Bridge and Tunnel, and Balance. Algernon had us sit on the floor of Siren, and Bridge and Tunnel played one of the best sets I had ever seen. Saw Tigers Jaw a ridiculous amount of times - maybe the first time they ever played Doylestown? After shows stopped on the second floor of Siren, I went to a lot of shows at The Moose Lodge. Honestly, I would go to any show in the Delaware Valley that Title Fight or Tigers Jaw played. I think from 2007 until their recent hiatus, I only missed a show or two that Title Fight played.

From what years were you at BHS?

BIG UPS TO BAD SEED, the "I AM THE JUDGE" bit in Justice Deserved makes me want to commit a felony.

I get that having got into Cold World almost a decade after Dedicated To...'s release, I had a much different first experience with them than someone who was in the scene during their prime. Could totally understand Cold World be jarring at first listen, it definitely was for me. But at that point they were hardcore canon and was a constant recommendation as I was getting into the genre.

I'm just glad you see the light now.

i went to ghost and graduated in 2012. youre pretty much describing what seems like the golden age to me. balance/tigers jaw/daylight/title fight/etc. all coming up and playing shows in PA. jealous you saw algernon. i missed their moment by inches and then they were just ruined by the 900 algernon rip-off bands i saw in philly. i’ve heard little whispers of a reunion but can’t speak with anything even resembling certainty.

I was such a huge title fight fan, I remember hearing symmetry and just being totally hooked. I probably watched this tour video hundreds of times. They just seemed like they were having so much fun, doing all the things I wanted to do…

Glad to see this thread popping, I miss TF and glad I got to see them a bunch. Crazy it’s been 12 years since the first time I saw them with Balance and Composure(rip)
Y’all heard the nada surf cover before? It’s a favorite of mine

personally I can only hope to be remembered in a slap post three years after my death, with my name spelled wrong

I think they did a show together way back when for a benefit, so it’s not crazy to hope they’d do a tour with them once Ned takes a break from Glitterer.
