Awaiting Onset

Awaiting Onset are a collaboration between the screaming deathcore that is Bring Me The Horizon and the raving beats by the genius Enter Shikari. They combine a liveliness of both bands and make Awaiting Onset.
Some of their older stuff reflect their more obvious influence of Bring Me The Horizon but "I can't see the skyline" and the new song " You're Forcing Our End" take a more dominant enter shikari rave feel.

These guys are from wolverhampton and all the lovely age of 16/17 , so the future shows promise for these boys. They are playing the robin 2 in august so check them out , because their new stuff should sound immense. Finally wolverhampton gets some good music to throw around!

Let's get these boys far, check out the myspace http://www.myspace.com/awaitingonset

Teenagers living the skins life

I hate siding with adults but i think teenagers are trying too hard to live up to this make believe life style they see on tv. Why do they want their life to be like an episode of skins?

The drugs, the promiscious sex; the slaggy lifestyle. it isnt cool. it's twatish.
Why do people strive to cause so much drama in their lives byt proclaiming the wrong things they have done , and then regret it afterwards? Why do they ignore warnings from family and friends for the safety of their own mentality?
why should they get involved with things that could not only endanger their future but also the innocent bystander's?

The average teenager thinks they are in love atleast twice between the age of 13-19 but i'm sorry , i don't think a teenager's mind can process what love is. Love and lust are easy to confuse , and mistakes like this can put other people's life on hold.

So when you mix this in with stress from exams, you tend to get a few arguments. But hey! arguments happen in skins right? yeah , that's resolved by one person writing it better. In real life that doesn't happen. You have to live with the things you say to people. You can't expect the counsillors at school to get the magic wand out of their arse and make it better.

So how do teenagers deal with this stress? Cry? Self harm? Take drugs or anything that may make their extreme depression lift for about 5 min?
Well , it seems that overdose is the best one on tv isn't it? You had cassie from skins, she turned out alright didn't she? Lies , in real life she would have had to deal with what she had done. People should learn to deal with their own mistakes or at least try to prevent them. You can't blame it on other people.

What is this alpha ego that those asbo youths of today crave? Control over their posse , feeling like the king of the castle... the queen bee. If your being compared to effy from skins , then don't be flattered. Be disgusted , your being called a meglomaniac whore , someone who has to have control over their friends because they have no control over their life. Secretly , most meglomaniac's tend to be the sort who tell lies to get what they want , and are generally selfish and inconsiderate.

i'm a teenager myself , and i really don't wanna be all that.But you have no choice do you?
