Just returned from a concert at the Backstage in Munich. Support has been Semana Santa. Metalcore from Wangen, Germany. I saw them a couple of times now, and every time they seem to get better. Or at least I like their sound better. They cleared the stage for Hand To Hand, who have just released their debut, A Perfect Way To Say Goodbye. That’s quite a title for a 1st album, isn’t it? What I don’t get is that Hand to Hand is always referred to as (Ex- As Friends Rust). AFAIK Zach (drums) is the only connection to As Friends Rust, sound-wise there’s definitely no similarity. Not even the slightest. They are playing pretty intense, errr, well, emocore with a good portion of metal. Sort of. I somewhat lost track of all the genres and sub-genres. Anyhow, great show, I really enjoyed it. Check the band’s pages for listening in..

Now for the noise: on my way home I lost my muffler. There have been quite some sparks flying around on the highway.. fortunately it happened just before an exit so I could leave the highway and loose the muffler completely on safe terrain. No problem, I packed the muffler into the trunk and drove the last 80 km unsilenced. That was a nice ride. I don’t understand that some car-tuning freaks do this to their cars and themselves on purpose. Crazy world.
