The Prince of Party Justin Poole

And statuses from my friends who are there

and I am raging with jealousy.

I hope next year has as good of a lineup.

Hey! People following me! I need your help!

http://justinpoole.tumblr.com/post/50524106396/tropical-storm-presents-queso-maximo-from-the

This is the new track from my thrash band Tropical Storm!

Being that we are just four broke ass dudes from Saint Louis with no promotional budget, label support, or industry contacts we are doing everything (including recording/mixing/art/etc) ourselves.

So it is you friends and fans that we rely on more than anything to help spread the word about our music. If you enjoy the song please tell a friend/re-blog/tweet/comment on the video/like us on facebook and do anything else you would like to do to help.

We genuinely appreciate all the support you give us more than words can express. We hope you enjoy the song and we can’t wait to come play a show near you!

Tropical Storm! presents Queso Maximo from the upcoming EP “It isn’t easy being cheesy”

I’ve got my hi-tops and my denim vest
gotta find the patches that’ll look the best
Growing my hair out to match the rest
Hope I can pass the thrash fashion test

There’s zombies! and pizza! and parties galore
everything cool from the 80’s and more
Mutants and satan and b-movie gore
death! destruction! and total war
More pizza, and beer, and tasty thrash licks
all the metal sluts want to jump on our dicks
Party all night, then sleep all day
This ain’t easy, living life this way

We’ll recycle the riffs that our grandpas played
try to get famous off the names they made
Hope we get signed to metal blade
we only play thrash for the heavy metal babes
We’ll smoke all the weed and drink all the beer
we really like to party, I promise, I swear!
No way is this a gimmick, it’s really not an act
we’re super rad dudes and bringing thrash back

There’s zombies! And pizza! And parties galore!
Everything cool from the 80’s and more
Mutants and satan and b-movie gore
Death! destruction! and total war
More pizza, and beer, and tasty thrash licks
all the metal sluts want to jump on our dicks
Party all night, then sleep all day
This ain’t easy, living life this way

Our flip bill hats are the coolest around
We wanna rage, rage, and party down
Did I mention we like pizza, cause yeah we fuckin’ do
Oh yeah and we also party harder than you

GOOD NEWS EVERYONE

People in Chicago fucking love Tropical Storm!

Its easy to get a little down on yourself when it seems like no one in your home city gives a shit about your band, but going on the road and playing for an enthusiastic crowd has me feeling great.

People were dancing, moshing, chanting, high fiving, laughing, and just generally having a good time instead of standing around trying to look all cool or apathetic or whatever it is people do. All the other bands were really fun and super nice people. It was one of the best show experiences I have had in a long time.

We were fed, housed, transported, and entertained by one of the coolest groups of people I have encountered in a long time. Its always great meeting intelligent, fun, and amicable people who share your passions.

My notoriously low faith in human beings was raised a considerable amount this weekend.

Can’t wait to go back.

Cinco De Thrasho was a HUGE success

All of the bands were fucking awesome and the crowd raged all night long.

Big thanks to Vanlade, Psychosomatic, Lich King, Cross Examination, Black Fast, Fetal Injury and Smash Potater for playing.

Wish someone would have been filming when Cross Exam made it rain “blood” from the rafters during their raining blood cover.

Can’t wait till next years!

Who should we get this time? Havok? Speedwolf? Hatchet? Warbringer?

we’ll recycle the riffs that our grandfathers played
try to get famous off the names they made
I hope Brian Slagel signs us to metal blade
we only play thrash for the heavy metal babes

we’ll smoke all the weed and drink all the beer
we really like to party, I promise, I swear!
no way this is a gimmick, It’s really not an act

Listen to this new demo from my band. Thrash fans will appreciate the lyrics.
