KILLER INSTINCT - DEMO: A REVIEW

yo, if you don't know my man Joey from the Poconos you're fucking up. best dude around. anyway i got a hold of the emps for his old bands' demo, Killer Instinct. let's break it down song by song:

1- Intro
i see where this is going. good groove mosh going on. would most definately pit.

2- I'm Not Impressed
boom, goes straight into a fast skank part. pissed off vocals and lyrics, NY style. kind of reminds me of Inside Out NY mixed with like Sick Of It All 7" era. a ill groove part with hi hats and double picking between verses, then boom into a fast part which keeps things interesting, and back to the first part. pretty good.

3- Outburst
the opening riff could've had it's place on the Raw Deal '89 demo, that's for sure. it goes into a fast skank part with vocals coming at you like fire. i really dig the riffs on this joint, very late 80s nyhc which im sure that's what they were going for. Joey and I definately have long nerd out sessions about that particular era. the last riff is more reminiscent of early 2000's bands such as No Warning, which definately isn't a bad thing at all. my favorite so far.

4- Rude Awakening (Outro)
this kicks off with a slowish part, on some Crown Of Thornz tip or something. then out of NOWHERE this ill groove kicks off. just like that. BOOM. bobbing my head pretty hard to this. then it slows down into a crunchy mosh part that i'd see James Dijan windmill to in the NYHC documentary. it picks back up to a low skank style rhythm with a pretty hard riff layered on top of it. dope.

that's it. the production is good, the vocals are really sick (even though he says otherwise) and this is basically a tribute to NYHC of all eras. very dope. i wish they were still a band. got any shirts left? i rock a XXL. peace.

THIS IS HARDCORE

yo, what's good. karl here fittin' to write up a review for TIH2011. it's my third year going, and as much as i had fun in '09 and '10 i think this year was my favorite one. im gonna do my best to try and remember everything, it was a long weekend.

PRE-GAME:
i got into philly late tuesday night. got to drew's apartment, talked for maybe 10 minutes then went to bed pretty quick. we all got up nice and early the next morning, around like 8. we showered, drew made some ill breakfast burritos then they had to run some errands so i went with them. after that we went to sonic, it was my first time there, the jalapeno poppers and cheese tots were so ill. heather got in town not too long after that so we went back to drew's, watched a couple episodes of eastbound and down then went to pick up heather's friend franny from the airport. after that we met up with drew and lexie at govindas for some veg cheesesteaks and took off to do touristy shit, namely love park and the rocky steps. it was alright. after that we dropped franny off at his hotel and went over to jersey where heather and i had a room for the night.

THURSDAY:
the next morning we woke up, had breakfast/lunch at honeys where i got a ill veg chicken fried steak, after that we went to the liberty bell for more touristy shehanigans. driving around i saw some people i knew from MTL, yelled some shit out of the window in french and stuff. we went to the hotel to check our shit in and stuff, we went swimming for a little while and then headed to the venue. i said hi to all my friends and then the gig commenced.

go rydell from FL opened the fest, they are basically a kid dynamite tribute band, not that it's a bad thing at all. they covered lifetime, that was cool. i didn't watch full of hell. face reality from detroit straight edge were up after, it was a pretty cool set. they covered straight ahead. right after that a newish band featuring bob from let down/mother of mercy on the mic hit the stage. they're called BEWARE and they are a new straight edge band from PA. they were probably one of my favorite bands that night, the reaction was pretty crazy. they played all 4 demo songs and covered Floorpunch - No Exceptions. i moshed. after that sacred love played, i was already hot/tired (the church is a fucking oven) so i went outside. i like them a lot but i figured i had seen them a few weeks before at Screaming For Change. apparently they covered Cro-Mags - Death Camps which is one of my fav non-AOQ mags songs. im still kicking myself for missing that one. oh well. Disengage was next, they opened with the United Youth intro. their set was cool. nothing groundbreaking but it was enjoyable. the new songs sounded chill. Mindset played after. the reaction was the craziest ive ever seen for them by far, it ruled. they were also very tight. and they played a ssd cover. madness. i took a break and didn't watch reign supreme or bracewar but im sure they were good. i went inside to watch foundation from the back. they were really tight as usual. shout out to my man evan for rocking the mic for a second. Underdog played after. the pit was awesome. the setlist was perfect. everyone that stuck around inside were really into it and that was cool. they also played for a while which was a bit tiring but i had tons of fun nonetheless. after it was all done we got some cool drinks and walked back to the hotel. there was talk of a party on the roof like last year, i went to scope it out and there was a few heads hanging out. i stuck around for 5 min then went to wawa with my dudes joey and victor. when we came back everyone got kicked out and there was like 60 people waiting for the elevator on the 24th floor. apparently some idiots had ruined everything for everybody. typical. whatever, i went to bed kind of early and woke up feeling great so that was fine.

FRIDAY:
we got up, i went swimming with pat and chuck. the manager came up to the pool area cuz he had a noise complaint or some shit, maybe it has to do with the fact that 10 hc dudes with shaved heads and tattoos were doing cannonballs and one norm came up and left and warned him or some shit. whatever. anyway then we gathered everyone and rolled out to new harmony where a bunch of us met for some good vegan food and laughs. the dim sum was ill, i ate like a pig so that was tight. after that i think we went back to the telly to chill for a bit then went to the venue after a while. i didn't catch wrong answer but made it inside in time to watch Praise, who had a new band slide in and play some songs called Peace. it's steb from TFS on the mic and Mike C from Mindset on the crunch, i didn't recognize anyone else. they were REALLY good and i look forward to seeing them again. anyway Praise were really tight. shout out to them for using a tambourine and making it sound cool. i spent the day hanging outside until Mouthpiece played. i bet i missed a lot of cool sets, but i'd rather be hydrated and not feel like crap for the bands i REALLY wanna catch. anyway i went inside when mouthpiece were about to start. a pretty good reaction, people were moshing, some diving and a lot of them knew the words too. they covered Chain Of Strength - True Till Death, sans Curt this time. i don't give a shit about any of you nerds who say Chain wasn't a real sxe band, that song still fucking rules. also respect to Mouthpiece for having a full sxe line up. "what it means and what it meant, nothing's changed in me" really rings true. Title Fight were next, i skipped them to rest and chill outside. im sure they were great, i like them a lot but thats the thing with fests, you can't watch EVERY band. well you can if you hang out in the 21+ or VIP area... haha anyway. TOKEN ENTRY were next... i honestly didn't know what to expect but it was so awesome. if you didn't watch them you're a fucking poser. they played all the hits, the pit was so fun. shout out to everyone on the stage and in the pit during "The Edge". if you know, you know. anyway H2O played after. again i spent their set hanging outside/away from the heat and noise of the venue... i heard they were great though which isn't surprising. their live set is always good. finally, it was time............ from the first chord and the "WE'RE BACK!!" chant, people started diving and pitting. YOUTH OF TODAY hit the fucking stage. i had my spot right at the front and had many a diver jump over/on top of me but i didn't care. all i did was scream my lungs out to my favorite songs and finger point in true edgeman fashion. their set was pretty good, a lot of my favorite songs were missing but then again they have no bad songs (except for Time To Forgive, way to ruin a classic). everyone had a good ass time. anyway after they played we went outside, got some wawa, shot the shit with everybody and kicked it outside before going back to our rooms. i passed out immediately.

SATURDAY:
once again my ass was out of the bed by 10am to go swim with pat and chuck. best way to wake up. i was bustin' cannonballs left and right for a little while then i went back to my room to shower and get ready to bounce. i wanted to show up on time for Stick Together and that's what i did. they were pretty cool, Ned was pitting instead of playing guitar that was kinda cool. they covered Side By Side and SSD. i think they mighta played a new song, i can't remember my memory sucks. fun set. Coke Bust played after. i was outside but i heard them play YOT - Slow Down. seeing as it wasnt played friday thats kinda cool. i didn't watch any band til Rival Mob played. people were going pretty nuts which was cool. they played the intro to Invasion - The Fight, i guess me and my man chris luke were the only ones pitting and any other so called LOCjocks were too busy waiting in line for merch or simply had no idea what the song was... get some knowledge in ya. anyway their set was cool. Brendan dropped the n-bomb on stage. the next band i watched was Betrayed. i hadn't listened to them in so long but they were one of the first bands i got into when i first started listening to HC so i was stoked to see them. they didn't disappoint! the setlist missed a couple songs i wanted to hear but they were really tight. im probably a dumbass for missing District 9, but the only song i really know from them is Victim. did they play it? i hope so. good song. didn't watch Ressurection, id rather see a Release reunion. wishful thinking i guess. caught the tail end of Damnation ADs set. they covered GB - Hold Your Ground, it sounded kinda weird. Mike DC's forehead was bloody like he walked out of a ECW match or some shit. i made sure to catch cold world, i didn't watch them in '09 or '10 but since it was the last time i'll see them for a long ass while i figured i would. they were really good. the pit was chill, not too violent as people were getting pretty tired. understandably so. bane played after, i made sure to catch them as they always rule live. i had my spot under the fan on the floor so i was literally chillin' for most of their set. i have nothing else to say about them, except i pitted/piled on during Count Me Out. i missed strife. i watched blacklisted from the back, i never got into them but watching the pit, shit was pretty crazy. and they were really good. RIP? maybe. Terror wrapped up a pretty cool day. i never listen to them on record but live they fucking bring it. so anyway after that we all hung out some more, wawa, roaming the streets of philly, all that shit. then it was time for bed.

SUNDAY:
aight so i was gonna go swim in the AM but, surprise surprise, it was pouring rain outside. good thing i had brought a rain jacket. i didn't leave the room til like 1 so i missed 10 minutes of Dead End Path's set but what i caught was pretty fun. shout out to Uriah. after that i figured since i didn't care about anything til DTN was playing, me joey and heather went out to this pizza place on spring garden. i had two slices, heather got a eggplant parm sandwich and joey got a big ass stromboli. it was good and real cheap. i'll definately go back there whenever im in ILLadelphia again. anyway we made it back for Down To Nothing. they were really good. played my favorite jams (I Can't Believe My Eyes and Smash It) and the pit was kinda wild but still fun. can't complain. Killing Time played right after and i hadn't seen em in over two years so i was REALLY stoked. they played basically everything i wanted to hear. everyone was just trying to have a good time and that was really awesome. shout out to Lynn and the Quebec City dudes. Reach The Sky played next, damn it was like a rock block or some shit. there was a fight during the first song, i don't really care about going into details since its not important, but it was funny how they said "you picked the wussiest band on the bill to start the fight?" hahaha. anyway they picked up right where they left off and were awesome. highlights include "she really loved you" and "maybe next year". i went outside after to cool off, i missed From Ashes Rise. i never really got into them but i seen em in MTL and they were cool, so im sure they were good tonight. we all went in for the last band of the fest, MADBALL. in all honesty, i was very disappointed by their set list and by the time it stopped sucking no one cared to go off as hard as they should have. still they played pretty good and "set it off", "get out", "it's my life" and "smell the bacon" were worth enduring all the songs i don't care about. anyway after that we all went outside, said good bye see you next year to all our friends, got more wawa and went back to our room. i showered that night cuz i smelled like i walked through a swamp or some shit. the next morning Heather and I drove out to her parents' house in MA where we hung out til Thursday.

alright, done. shout out to all my friends, old and new, Joe Hardcore and everyone behind TIH. it was one of the best weekends of my life for sure. hardcore still lives! XXX

PS: un gros shout out a tout le monde du Quebec.

underdog, boston, etc

yo what's up everyone, karl here to type up a quick summary of my weekend in boston. my stay, albeit a bit short was very fun and was one of the best weekends ive had in a while. here goes.

i left MTL late at night friday around 11:30 to head down overnight on the greyhound. no wifi which kinda blew but whatever. customs were a breeze, biz as uge. i got into boston around 8ish, it was raining so that was wack. i went to starbucks for a frap then to dunkin donuts for a bagel and hash browns. i love that place. anyway so i was just bummin around til the stores opened and i could go shopping. first i went to macys to browse around, i got a polo cap for $16. sweet. then i went to champs. got some socks (im ocd about socks and buy them whenever i see them) and some dope nike frees which i wore all weekend afterwards. them shits are comfortable. oh yeah i also got a cool ass nike shirt with the basic logo oversized and turned sideways. blue ink on white tee. fresh. anyway so after that i made my way out to mass ave to hit up bodega. that joint rules. i got a HUF hat and a bodega tee. staff is cool as fuck too. walking back to the T i bumped into my buddy aaron, he was headed to an indian buffet and was sposed to meet up with gil and invited me to tag along, alas i had alredy got in touch with my dudes keith and mike and planned to meet up with them on harvard square. we chit chatted under the rain for a few minutes then we each went on our way. i got off the T thinking i had time to run to urban outfitters to get some jeans, but when i was paying for them they were calling me saying they were waiting for me. oops. at least they were nice jeans. so anyway, i hop into mikes car, we say our what's ups and catch up a bit. we headed to spike's to get some food and i figured i should try the kennel club challenge. following edge day 2009's epic failure at it (i stopped at 4 1/2) this year i was a man on a mission.

12:39 PM

12:57 PM

im happy i did it but never again. i felt like shit afterwards and still feel effects from it in my stomach. and if not being able to deal with eating more soy in 20 minutes than a human should in a week makes me a pussy, youre probably right. that shit is full of estrogen.

so anyway after that we hit up City Sports and i got a northface jacket which is probably my favorite thing i've bought in a long ass time. best jacket. we checked out a few thrift stores for kicks then hit up whole foods. keith and I got some refreshments.

blue machine sucka

after that we went to this dude zach's house where keith and mike were chilling all day. i grabbed a change of clothes, we all bullshited for a while and kicked it around the house then got in the whip to drive up to haverhill for the gig. following the traditional fix on beverages at white hen i checked out the record store upstairs then went down to the venue area. i bought some neon am95s off bourbeau. dfj brian pete and yours truly as well a bunch of other people were just chillin outside waiting for the show to start. some kids were out shooting hoops. eventually we all ended up inside and the gig commenced....

Alert got up on stage first. they played a handful of new songs from their upcoming 7" (pre order that shit on www.sixfeetunderrecords.com fool) as well as old demo cuts and covered yot - together to close off their set. it was a good way to kick off the show. kids were into it. i definately was. they had some new tees, and i'm just gonna leave this here...

hehehe

it's all good. i traded a baby blue no for an answer boot to keith for one of these so they can't be that bad.  ;) peace to jake kyle keith and mike.

after that free spirit got up on stage. dfj filled in for them as kenny hurt his arm moshing to cromags in tx. i dunno if it's them or him but they sounded very tight that night. usual set list, demo songs, 7" songs, america's hc comp song (if you don't own that shit you're a moron) and a sick abused cover. IM NOT JUST ANOTHER FOOL! nothing less to say. kids got down, and shit, so did i. good set.

naysayer played after. i judged it was best for me to catch a breather and just watch from afar. i was basically all around the venue at different parts of their set. they opened with a sick intro i just wished i knew what it was. gary had some cool ass things to say on stage and not just mindless dumb shit like a lot of bands that have that general style do. hopefully next time i won't be dying of heat when i see them. 

rival mob was up next, sans evan. i was still wiped from the first two bands so i just chilled on the side of the stage for most of their set. brendan still had some funny shit to say as he always does. i dunno if it was the low turnout or not but it's def not the craziest mob set ive seen. i mean sure there were kids going off but i've seen some way gnarlier pitting to them. anywho it was an interesting set, it sounded kinda thin due to there only being one guitar (no offense to doug free of course) but i still enjoyed it.

the anticipation was over. motherfucking underdog hit the stage. i can't remember specific moments but all i know was i was vibing hard and just so into it that i couldn't remember deets. they played everything i wanted to hear, from now on, back to back, vanishing point, say it to my fuckin face, a lot to learn. great set. people were enjoying themselves and going off. they were super tight and im stoked to see them again in philly at this is hardcore (for which i probably will have a full report of)

heres a vid i found online

merch pick ups:

aj's zine/gil's zine/loc sticker sheet bundle

underdog drowning skater shirt

alert "carry on rip off" shirt

free spirit snoopy shirt

travis grillo gave me a grillos pickles shirt off his back, does that count?

anyway after it was all said and done i rung out my token entry shirt (that shit was gross, straight up) and changed into my newly acquired alert tee for the drive back. we stopped at a falafel joint, i got a hummus  wrap and two cokes. shit was dope. anyway after that we made it back to zach's apartment, where we shot the shit for a while and watch the ten yard fight vhs. after that we all went to bed.

i woke up around 10:30 ish, mike and keith bounced back to wmass when i was in the shower cuz keith had to work earlier than he thought. i packed up my shit, said thanks and bye to zach and went down on harvard sq to this place called veggie planet for brunch. i got a sick omelet with moz, asiago, tomato and spinach in it and some tempeh sausage which was good but not great. i shoulda got the bacon instead. anyway heres how it looked like:

i cleaned that plate up in less than 15 minutes. i was hella hungry. anyway after that i made my way to south station where i succumbed to the pressure and got a pair of slices at regina's. say what you want but i love that chain. after that i got in line to get on and bumped into my buddy conor who was coming back from a pretty long trip. the ride back was quite uneventful. customs crossing back were a breeze also. i got home kinda late but whatever. it was a good weekend and i look forward to seeing everyone again soon. peace.

unfinished biz

hey everyone. heres the unfinished product of what was supposed to be think clear fanzine. i slacked off on that and i even slacked off on this "blog", just goes to show how strong my work ethic is hahaha. the only thing i got together was the interview with Lifers which was the 2nd post on this blog. that interview is now a year old, sheeeeesh... if you look at the intro i had way bigger plans in mind for this. also that thank you list is very outdated to say the least. regardless i hope you enjoy. click on the pages to see them fullsize.

WISDOM IN CHAINS / GRAVE MAKER / BACKTRACK / EXPIRE / HARRIERS / HEAD CHECK IN MTL: A REVIEW.

i went to Berri metro to meet up with Victor, while waiting for him i bumped into JF Pepin (of Mental Crew Canada fame) and we chit chatted for a little bit. he had just bought a ton of records and was catching a bus back to Sherbrooke. anyway Victor ended up showing up and we made our way to the venue. when we got there the doors were just opening, i said what's up to everyone as i made my way inside. there was like 6 bands and i don't have the best memory but i'll try to wrap this up real quick.

Head Check played first, they're a relatively new band and they play a 90s nyhc style with some other influences. anyway they were pretty good, the guitars sounded a bit thin and out of tune at times but it was a fun set, kids were moving a bit. good way to set it off. oh yeah those dudes are all like 15-16 so they're only gonna get better. im stoked to see what this band will grow into.

next up was Harriers, another newer band from Montreal. they have a more modern sound, alot of breakdowns, a lot of mid tempo parts and some fast parts too. they sounded fucking great, their set was tight. you could tell a lot of people were there to see them because the room felt a lot more packed when they started, as soon as they began their first song kids started moshing immediately. some even knew the words to the songs. it was dope to see. another good addition to the MTL HC scene.

Expire got up on the stage after, i saw them in Philly at This Is Hardcore this summer and they were pretty good. last night was no different, they play a hard style of NY influenced HC while incorporating other things that make them a bit more distinguishable. a couple kids were into it, for their first time in MTL it was awesome. oh yeah and they covered Hatebreed - Empty Promises. sweet.

Backtrack were next, opening with Killing Time - Backtrack. i dunno what's wrong with people here but me and victor were the only two singing along and moshing to it. oh well. they played a couple of new jams from their upcoming LP as well as the 7", demo and AHC comp songs. i've seen them a handful of times now and last night is definately up there. nothing else to say about them except lots of fun.

i had to catch my breath so i went to the store to get a water after. i didn't really feel like watching Grave Maker (im sure they were good, just not my cup of tea) so i ended up chilling outside talking to some people about bands when this drunk dude that stumbled out of the bar across the street asked us what we were talking about, then went on to say he loved Iron Maiden (awesome) then told us how his left ear has been ringing ever since he was 17 along with some other shit i can't really remember right now. we went back inside and hung out in the staircase (the best inbetween from the heat of the venue to the freezing cold outside) were a bunch of us just shot the shit for a while. we made it back upstairs to go watch Wisdom In Chains.

now i'm not too familiar with their material and i hardly ever listen to them, but i gotta say that they are definately awesome live. Joe shouted out Yan and Alexa for  travelling to see them all the time which i thought was dope. i was hanging out on the side just watching but did end up in the pit for "Die Young". lots of pile on and sing alongs, it was cool. after it was all done we hung out there for a bit then took off. last night was La Nuit Blanche which meant there was shit going on all night and the subway ran around the clock as well, so there was tons of cops and people all over the place. there was a toilet on a street corner, i took a picture sitting on it for lolz then we got in the metro. there was this girl passed out face down on the floor, probably from mixing pills and booze... welp. some other dude had gotten into a fight. the night was just getting started when we all got on the Green line going towards Honore Beaugrand toward a good night's sleep. 

RIVAL MOB / FREE SPIRIT / COKE BUST / VACCINE / LIBYANS / GIVE / MOB MENTALITY / STICK TOGETHER IN MEDFORD MA: A REVIEW.

it's been a few months since i've updated this. i wish i had an excuse but im just fucking lazy. who cares. i'll try to update more often though

anyways! so just looking at the title, you could guess there was way too many fucking bands playing this gig. but it's all good. there's a couple i didn't watch cuz i needed to snack and get a cold drink and shit but i'll do my best to review this. off we go... oh yeah, go check out pics of the gig on Future Breed.

so heather and i got to the venue around 7:15, the show was supposed to start around 6 so i was kinda illin' cuz i figured we'd be late. i also thought we were lost + didnt end up at the right spot but when i saw people walk around with guitar heads i figured we were at the right place. we got inside and stick together was setting up cuz some of the bands from DC were late or something. i had time to say what's up to some buds and shoot the shit with everyone for a bit before it started so that was cool.

so stick together kicked it off with X treatment, and everyone got moving quick. i still had my jacket on but made the wise decision to chuck it halfway thru the first song. i might retire from varsity jacket moshing unless it's at edge day. anyways, i don't really have much to say about their set except the banter between songs was funny as usual, everyone moshed and everyone had a good time. most people knew the words to both the demo and 7" songs so it was a pretty constant sing along up front. they covered ssd - glue and side by side - living a lie. word. and of course they had some ill merch.

mob mentality played after, i never heard of em but i thought they were pretty cool. i was hanging out on the side cuz i was already winded and it was hot as fuck in that place. + the fact that i didn't have water and ate like crap before the show didn't help things much. anyway i thought their set was pretty cool, a couple kids were moving around too but i think the heat was alredy starting to suck everyone's energy out. i dunno how to describe them but check em out, it's worth a listen.

give got up on stage after, for those who haven't heard them, keith summed it up as "if swiz and supertouch had a baby". i can't help but agree. for their whole set everyone was just chillin' in front of the stage bobbing heads and having a good time. i can't say i'm very familiar with their material but last night was definately a good incentive to check em out in more detail. i caught word that theyre playing with Mindset in toronto in the spring, so im gonna try to go out there and check that gig out.

after their set me and a couple others decided to go where the concession machines were in some other building, and basically it was a pain in the ass to get our shit cuz one machine didnt work at all but gave change (basically spit out dimes and nickels), one other machine didnt work either, one was fine and the last one only had diet coke left... but after figuring out logistics i managed to walk away with my bag of nacho cheese doritos and a bottle of diet coke. drinking something felt good. we all just hung out there for a while, shooting the shit, talking about sneakers and other random stuff which caused me to miss the two next bands.

when i went back to the venue vaccine was just wrapping up their set and coke bust were about to play. im not usually a fan of really fast shit but they do it right and they were fucking cool last night. not a band i'm very familiar with but they had some cool songs, i was just hanging out on the side watching. people got into them and shit so that was cool.

free spirit played after, it was basically what i came to expect and a bit more. good songs, people moshed, everyone had a good time. they played a Rampage cover, that was fuckin cool. they played the intro from the demo which i was stoked on. asides from that it was a blend of demo and 7" songs. again, a good time.

rival mob wrapped up the night and i was chillin on the side of the stage for the first half of the set trying to recoup from what was a pretty hot/long night. i did end up in the pit after tho. anyway, unless youve had your head up your ass for the past two years you know what the fuck they sound like. it was a average rival mob set: funny shit being said between songs, jabs being taken on BOLD*, people going off hard and the band being mad tight. nothing else to say about this. awesome as usual.

so after a long night of pitting, snacking, singing along and some other things we picked up, said goodbye to our buds and left. we put in denny's in her gps but i guess her thing is outdated cuz we ended up at a pub 99, which was closed. with no dennys in the immediate vicinity we settled on burger king. i was a bit skeptical at first cuz the veggie burger in canada is mediocre to okay, but the one in the states is made with a morning star patty. it was probably the best veggie burger ive had in a while so i was stoked on it. we put gas in the car, i got a gatorade and we hit the road, back to her house. i crashed immediately.

p.s. stay away from McDonalds Ice Cream. 
p.p.s. *i love BOLD
