1905 was a political melodic hardcore punk band from Washington, DC that started in 2000, played a few shows, had a line-up change in the summer of 2001 (adding a new bass player to the mix), regrouped and reworked some things, and played rather consistently since October 2001 until they broke up. The lyrics address the politics of our everyday lives and how the individual plays an important part in the greater scheme of things. These lyrics are conveyed through female and male vocals. The vocals go between singing and screaming. The music has a distinct feel to it and there is definitely a great deal of emotion poured into it. 1905 now has a full length CD called Voice on Exotic Fever Records, look for the LP soon on Amor y Lucha.

    "To envision a world without chains but recognize that we, as individuals, can only chip away at the links. One at a time, day by day. To have the ability to wage quiet wars in our everyday lives, and recognize the subtle victories when they happen...."

    anyway, some of us live a bit tense and that leads to pretense. i've seen enough of my favorite artists called pretentious to not let it get to me, but it still hurts a little bit. "you have to speak your mind." the album was called 'voice' afterall... i admit calling people "heartless" is somewhat dramatic.

    about the white middle class thing, congratulations...born + razed. thankyou for writing me off based on the way i speak. i can't escape the mark of the culture that brought me up. but i can think of nobody less likely to understand what i am trying to express than the white middle class. who would know better than me? forgive me if that's pretentious, or am i allowed to speak? that culture treated me like shit, left me for dead, + as soon as i left my coffin every step i took the cops let me know i wasn't welcome anymore. i've found awareness doesn't depend on black&white or class, but more how much somebody has suffered and healed. 1905 has a lot of love in their pain, that is why they are so important to me. i can tell you've suffered a bit, the healing part i'm less sure of. but words on a screen is a shitty way to let somebody understand and, uh oh, it's veering off topic. the censors will soon realize discussion is taking place.

    no, no, no... it has to do with what you can relate to/understand/empathize with in the music. amongst varg's beliefs is white supremacy...i don't think burzum is white supremacy incarnate (although i think some people who aren't 'racist' can relate to a similar kind of hatred...most of us are bigots, yourself definitely not excluded. that said, i think burzum and most everything that is expressing something true to itself is worth something, whether i agree with it or not...that makes me different enough from a lot of people to comment on them. in my opinion you're more guilty of what you're accusing me of than i am, but then that's where the pre-tension comes in?). it's not about ideology necessarily, it's about what they are expressing. i tried to explain this...you've seen what you wanted to see in my words, which could mean whatever to whoever reads them. i don't think 1905 fails musically, i think there's something you don't like in the music. that's what i was trying to say.

    i listen to whatever i think sounds good, and from time to time, that's 1905.

    if you don't believe in/care about what 1905 is singing about you're not gonna like it (heartless), because their music is their belief incarnate. + that's what i look for in music and that's also why most people in the mainstream think anything that's not on the radio is terrible, why most white people are unable to listen to any rap music that doesn't represent black people and this society exactly how they want to see it, and it's why most people who find an underground genre listen to nothing but that genre, they have no means to understand what's being expressed outside of it or anything outside their own experience + issues. music sounds bad when you don't believe in it. yeah, i'm emo at heart, but that's why the mainstream genre "emo" always sounded like shit to me. i don't doubt you may have trouble understanding what i'm telling you now + find a way to classify me so you won't have to deal with what i'm trying to express. whatever.
