I have disqualified bands I know have existed prior to 2008, including some of my favorites such as Here Comes A Big Black Cloud, Popitilopitilus, Mattress, and Magic Johnson, all of whom I guess I’m giving props to right now.1.. Stag BittenHardcore, punk, whatever.. Stag Bitten always brings it.

"Here Comes A Big Black Cloud vows revenge!" yelled cloud guitarist, Danger Dagger
after the fifth attempt to crank the generator had failed." The Taxpayers must feel
my wrath!" he added.. The two bands were the last on the roster at this years summer version of "Defector
Fest",sunday afternoon at Overlook Park in North Portland.. The festival was a three
day event celebrating portland punk, metal, hardcore and whatnot.. This show was to be a VS show.
