Rules for new hardcore: 1. Band names must have at least one reference to death and/or dying. 2. At least two members must have bird tattoos and/or ear spacers. Substitutions will be made for vegans or “Xstraight-edgeX. ” 3. All vocals must be screamed. 4. Songs need a minimum of three time signatures. 5. Band members should be cute boys with black mop-tops. 6. No laughing. Lying somewhere between the mordant metal of Every Time I Die and the math excess of Dillinger Escape Plan, Denver’s FBTMOF manage to obey all these rules and still do something explosively original. Moshers, get ready to die!
