Surprised there's not a thread for this already. Anyway, Chris Wollard is coming out with his first solo CD sometime soon, titled "The Ship Thieves."

As for Chuck Ragan, both his CDs are amazing, especially the studio one. However, I've never been too big a fan of Hot Water Music, though some of their songs were really good. On the other hand, The Draft is one of my favorite bands.

So, if I were to get into HWM, what album should I start with?

No Divsion.

Personal preference but every song is a winner. A lot of people will say Caution but I feel song for song this is better.

I would then try fuel for the hate game and caution.

Moonpies for Misfits ep was top stuff as was forever and counting the pre epitah stuff is very raw which I like maybe its because im a big fan of Leatherface.

to be fair most of their stuff is awesome.

Wow really surprised that no one seems to dig them on here.

i dont know much

Hallelujah!!! Very Happy

I talked to him after a solo-show like 3 months ago...he's one of the coolest guys ever.

He seems like a pretty straight up guy his solo stuff live is immense proper sing alongs!

I wish HWM would get there arses over here even middle of butt fucking nowhere Belgium have got a show so far.

I can't wait for the Revival Tour, it's gonna be amazing. Chuck Ragan and Tom Gabel performing solo sets, and covering each other's songs? I might die before October gets here.

Tim Barry's pretty incredible too, and Ben Nichols solo should be good. unfortunately, they aren't coming within 500 miles of me

Just found this there is a whole set you can work through.

Yeah...I knew this set before. Very good one, very energetic!

I want to see them so bad. Crying or Very sad

anyone listened to "Bristle Ridge" yet? not really into it...too bluegrassy, and austin lucas' voice is a little annoying

Awesome show. I just ripped the audio if anyone wants it. And I got a few questions about The Draft. Does anyone have any info on this song or other unreleased songs?

I love this song. It's called "Chewing On Broken Glass", and they were playing it in '05, but they haven't released it yet. And there are like 5 more unreleased songs on youtube. Do they have a new CD coming out sometime soon?

I saw Austin Lucas as support from Chuck.....and I can't say that his voice was annoying....why do you think that???

He was one of the....no....he was THE best singer that I have ever seen live....just incredible.

And yeah....I think that a new Draft record is on it's way!

By the way....check this out: Streetperformance by Ragan, Lucas, Gaunt and Barnes!

Great guys!

idk, i just think lucas' voice is a little too twangy sometimes (this coming from someone who hates country music), but I do agree that he is a very good singer

Ah...ok....I see.

just found a live video of The Loved Ones covering "For Broken Ears" on their most recent tour. the sound sucks, but it's still pretty cool

there's also a video from the same show of them playing "Massive" with a really awesome intro

Chris Wollard already put some solo stuff out under his own name in a split with Mike Hale from Gunmoll/In The Red. I believe that the name of his new project is Chris Wollard and the Ship Thieves. Ar least that's what's listed on the Fest 7 roster.

The Loved Ones do a pretty good cover of Ragan's 'For Broken Ears'. I haven't listened to Ragan's cover of 'Pretty Good Year' yet, but I'll try find it online later. It might be up on his Myspace.

i didn't know he covered that! that would be awesome!

and i read that the ship thieves also includes Brett Gurewitz somehow. that'll be awesome

The Draft have toured with AM! Not sure about HWM. They really sound similar. I love HWM's cover of Alkaline's Radio - brilliant. I am not a huge fan of their other stuff though ...

Any fans here? Fav songs?

God Deciding, Where We Belong, At the End of a Gun, Man the Change...Honestly, the songs I dislike would make for a shorter list.
