Can't Stand It Spotlight

I decided to start a blog to chart the path of Tampa Bay HC. I'll throw up some spotlight bands, some interviews, and some show footage if I can from time to time. I'll probably have other dudes post here to get the upkeep going. This first post goes out to my dudes in Can't Stand It




Comprised of members of the late Now Soldiers, Evasion, and the Chicaboom Room heads, Cant Stand it plays hardcore in the vein of whining and Black Flag worship. They had a band going called Endurance which was more a of a side project with influences like Carry On and Chain of Strength. It seems to me that they are taking Cant Stand It to a new level, playing a ridiculous amount of gigs, and writing music at a steady pace. Their vocalist, Vince, seems to have a glass body, getting hurt at every gig he plays, so please my friends, be gentle. 





Anyways, they just released a Free EP this year( or FREE. P. as they so lamely call it). so if you want a copy of that, message them and I'm sure they'll get one to you somehow. The songs on it are hard hitting, short, and angry. Definitely a band worth keeping your eye on. (be sure to check out Vince's knee brace in this video)







So thats that, be on the lookout for more posts in the next few days from the Face Up Crew.

Can't stand is band that plays music that other people that are not playing music will listen to and nod along because the sound is traveling into their ears and making funny feeling appear serious and nerve wrecking. Pope John Paul II believed that he would never see that day that such a group of pizza deliver guys would join together to form a musical entity and he was right. He passed away April 2, 2005. God Bless America!
