I'm gonna pop in cause we operate in similar circles. You've been in the ssme band for 10 years, in punk/metal terms for a band not making money primarily by playing that is a long time for a band to last. I've personally gotten pretty cynical regarding the diy punk touring situation where its so heavily based in big fests now and putting up more small bands doing smaller shows has really gotten lost. The bigger bands from my town only play Montreal and fests theyre flown out to at this point. I just make weird music as a hobby now and collaborate with 1 other person on occasion and play noise once or twice a month under a bridge. Im just.lokomg what I do for what it is.
Yeah, ive got a lot to untangle in my head about whether I wanna keep doing it. Im also mopey cause none of the bigger bands give a shit about us. Its fun to play guitar sometimes, but yeah. Gotta sort out my feelings on my own. Dont even get me started on the scene.
