i wouldn't say it sucks at all, its just not made for the under 18 crowd. lately i've seen lots of places to play created from bars, which sux for younger audience, but there is a good scene. then again i'm talking NYC, and ur more the philly area. but i'm sure its the same thing. besides, i'm sure you can open for bands at say, bloomfield, and other crapholes, but you gotta start somewhere.
oh yeah, kick ass interview
