Someone married footage of Nightwing (Dick Grayson, ex-Robin in the Batman animated series) in "Old Wounds" to RISE AGAINST'S Alive and Well.

I approve wholeheartedly of this mashup.

P.S. I suppose VOX doesn't like youtube clips, so, here's the link.

Why do reviewers focus on themselves so much? I got more about this dude's scenester seniority than the actual show which he was reviewing. I understand that he feels old or whatever, but honestly, the whole 'people in polo shirts can't like punk rock' argument is pretty tired. People like what they like. Yes, for different reasons, but they like what they like.

I'm beginning to wonder if this guy pays attention.

It's not just the polo shirt, dude, it's the immaculately distressed jeans, it's the shell necklace, it's the beer in one hand, dumb blonde hanging off of the arm, then going "yeah, I like punk rock". Sure you do, man. While you're at it, get your fucking 300 dollar phone away from me, and quit texting when the headliner is playing, while at the same time, bitching me out for trying to get in front of you to see the band you're ignoring.

And oh by the way, did you see the part about SOCIAL DISTORTION? Or the part where I said someone should have punched me in the face? Perhaps you missed the first sentence in the review?

The point is not that I feel old, but old and out of place at a RISE AGAINST show, a band that I've been watching for 3 years now.

Tim from RISE AGAINST would probably want you to listen to this band, LOS CRUDOS.
