notfiT to be zine! (coming soon)....(maybe)...
notfiT today. It's the Post-Rumour, Post-Halftime era. Debbo and Nathan are gone. With them are The Rumour's connections. Thus notfiT lacks conection to outside bands such as Our Downfall and Daze. These outside influences are all that remains of what is now a memory of Sunday nite shows. Could this be the end? Or does potential still lie dormant but obtainable through the heart and passion of notfiT's young musicians?
With influences taken from The Rumour and it's brother bands, kids in notfiT are forming post-hardcore bands. The talent of these bands is tremendous. But such talent does not save them from the scourn of a second wave of punks following the example J. Chaos and Crazy Tyler Simmons who acuse these bands of sounding too mainstream. Still it's a start and one that shows greatly talented musicians at that while the scene kids critics also provide encouragement that punk rock may yet thrive in notfiT.
Furthor outside influence is still obtained through the the grabed interest of a former NFR guitarist by the punk/surf/hardcore scene available in Valdosta Georgia. You guest it..Johnny C. has advanced yet one more level deeper into his punk rock roots by discovered bands like the honest a's, pavo and the paperkuts. While this stands as a drastic difference from notfiT's usual interests, Johnny's much improved guitar skills in his new band Countless Attempts have proven the influence to inspire a refreshing contrast to the new post-hardcore bands they plan to humbly open for.
A Day To Die 4 still resides as well but with such little respect from newer bands who see age as more than merely a number, yet see time spent being a band as merely an expression of time passed.
Nevertheless this scene is boring and uneventful. With Carter gone forever Johnny Chaos plans to give up on the revolution as well unless he can suceed in one last final attempt out of countless others......to save the underground.
