I didn't see Drain. I don't want to talk about it. Last week, I flew down to an ungodly-hot Austin to cover Oblivion Access, a very cool festival that's devoted to fringy and extreme sounds. On the last day of the festival, the year's most exciting hardcore tour came to Austin as part of that Oblivion Access program. Drain, Drug Church, Magnitude, Gel, Restraining Order, Mugger, and Black Mercy played at the Mohawk -- an outdoor daytime show when the temperature was well into the triple degrees. That lineup is practically a festival unto itself. I wasn't there. Had to be home. Didn't check the festival schedule before booking my flight. Had to celebrate a kid's birthday. Just one of those things.
