RIP Blogged and Quartered



In the light of the current Mediafire fiasco , which has them basically eliminating some of the best blogs in existance simply because of a couple rare copywritten albums that you could never find anyways, we have lost Blogged and Quartered, the premier stop on the internet for amazing punk/hardcore demos and albums that were otherwise lost in the folds of time.

Stormy did a great job running the blog from the overall spectrum of rare music he provided and the detailed and informative write up right down on the the point. Two bands in particular that had a profound impact on me growing up were without a doubt Moss Icon and The Hated. Two early Annapolis post-hardcore emotive groups that I feel helped shape alot of things and even today aren't getting the recognition they deserve. Its not like this music is even available for purchase. He put up complete discography's, and especially for a group like The Hated somehow obtain master recordings (obviously from the never to be released Troubleman collection) and provide them to the people is amazing. Not to mention countless other bands I was turned onto from the blog including Funeral Oration, Jawbreaker, Live Joy Division and Rites of Spring, and the list goes on.

Im gonna try to get some of this music back to you its just gonna take some time. Im really busy with this job, the sun is shining and makes me want to get out and really take advantage of this great life. I love Victoria. Anyways rest in peace Blogged and Quartered, thank you deeply from the corners of out hearts.
