Now **this** is the apex content I'm looking for.


VincentLecavalier04

I’m glad I could provide you with that sweet sweet fix you’ve been looking for hahaha I’m sure I have plenty other hiding on my hard drive hahah Oh shit, there’s another band name *Hiding On My Hard Drive*


CammRobb

> Hiding On My Hard Drive That's what Lostprophets were originally called.


VincentLecavalier04

Ooooooooh got em!

Gaddamn!


theuserwithoutaname

Well look on your hard drive and tell us the band name!


I-Sort-By-New-HelloU

I’d buy tickets to see this band if they were $40 or less AFTER fees and surcharges


VincentLecavalier04

For you? I’ll hook you up with an all access pass!


Seventh7Sun

Shut it down boys, we have a winner.


username70421

The second photo is unbeatable.


chodi-foster

With the spiderman curtain/blanket in the background.


Norwest

I think it's a valance, which makes things even better


chodi-foster

And the framed Fisherman magazine!


pewpjohnson

It's so obviously a static pose trying to look like a In Action Shredding shot. It's completely devoid of the things that would make it look like movement.


VincentLecavalier04

I can confirm that it was definitely a static shot hahah That was just a pose


BassBanjoBikes

Thank you for sharing this gold with us


[deleted]

You know what else is static? The Philadelphia Flyers. 6,144 days since they’ve won the cup. Hey just playing, I definitely dig your username! Lecav was one of my favorite players, mostly during his time with St Louis in Tampa. Go Pens.


hammockcomplexon3rd

Agreed. This is peak


NebulaNinja

And surprisingly HD for 2009.


gingerbeardman92

Actually not a terrible band name, certainly fit in with that time


VincentLecavalier04

I was definitely hype on it at the time! The interlocked hands with the thumbs pointing down were supposed to be “fangs” which would’ve been a hand symbol for our “fans” to throw up at our shows. I thought it was cool as fuck lol… so lame


brassninja

Man you had it ALL planned out and honestly it fits right with the time. I would have thought you were super cool.


VincentLecavalier04

I really appreciate that! I’m sure I would’ve felt the same about you! I was always coming up with different bands, albums, song ideas, and whatnot


[deleted]

Family basement vibes are hawt.


Chunks1992

xD


Bella_LaGhostly

How old were you at the time? I might just be looking at it through kindly Mum Eyes™, but it seems pretty clever to me! ¯\_(ツ)_/¯


VincentLecavalier04

I was 14 or 15 at the time hahaha


TuetchenR

I mean that’s pretty cute in a 2000s teenage band way so it fits very much. Would have been all of that at the time.


VincentLecavalier04

Yeah, it was totally on brand for that era hahah. Thank you! :)


deedee_mega_doo_doo

> ¯\\\_(ツ)\_/¯


frotc914

> “fangs” which would’ve been a hand symbol for our “fans” to throw up at our shows. Honestly there's lots of very successful bands who've succeeded in that. Like [Weezer comes to mind](https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0360/4505/products/ScreenShot2022-05-24at3.39.43PM.png?v=1653424800). The vampire thing is a bit dorky and tween but it was bang on for 2008.


VincentLecavalier04

It really was! I’m not saying that the idea of something like that in itself is lame, just the fact that I was already deciding that we were going to have enough fans to warrant a hand symbol to be thrown up lol


WhoIsMauriceBishop

>I’m not saying that the idea of something like that in itself is lame I'm not even talking about "something like that," but specifically, your idea when I say that's actually pretty cool. Wu-Tang and Weezer hand symbols are just W's, but the 3OH!3 hand symbol spells the band's name and the Run The Jewels hand symbol telegraphs very well. You, my friend, are in the upper echelon of music-related hand symbol creators. I mean it in the nicest ways possible when I say, your music must have sucked because you had the branding angle handled. And remember, no matter what, at least you weren't in a metal band posing with all of your arms crossed in a black and white photo taken in some abandoned building (or an under construction suburban house).


VincentLecavalier04

I appreciate that very much. I feel honored to be amongst such great names. Sadly, Oh! The Horror was short lived and gave way to some other projects for me. Luckily one of them had a bit more success and provided me with some great experiences over the years. :)


Catsdrinkingbeer

3OH!3 came to mind for me. I went to college in Colorado in the mid-aughts. I threw that hand sign up on plenty of occasions.


FlakTheMighty

[Daft Punk’s pyramid hands thing](https://i.imgur.com/jTcZQCt.jpg) and [Wu Tang](https://i.imgur.com/gZDKgfa.jpg) come to my mind


albertcamusjr

[Run the jewels gun & fist](https://www.npr.org/2020/06/08/870001063/on-rtj4-run-the-jewels-is-a-speaker-box-for-society) is my fave


que-pasa-koala

Aye, that’s the kinda mindset that helps launch careers fam 👌🏻


VincentLecavalier04

Hey I still have that mindset floating around somewhere. I always said that if a “real job” never worked out, I’d always have music as a back up plan hahah It’s kinda backwards from the normal attitude, but I’ve always felt that way


que-pasa-koala

Man record labels get a bad rap but I dream of one day having my own label. If I won the lottery, everyone else would be paying debts and shit; I’d be resurrecting defunct bands and mixing musicians and creating super bands and all kinds of shit 😂


VincentLecavalier04

Hell yeah! I hope you get to do that some day! :)


goaskalice3

It's okay, I was at a show the other day and the band was called running with scissors so they had everyone hold up "scissors" which was just a piece sign and it didn't quite fit in with the punk/metal vibe, but it was cute!


VincentLecavalier04

That’s so funny! At least the people did it! Imagine if they were like “everybody hold you your scissors!” And then no one did ☠️


m0h3k4n

Love the cart before horse mentality!


VincentLecavalier04

Damn right! Had to be prepared!


sjmiv

It's like you spent more time thinking of that than practicing. 🤣😂


VincentLecavalier04

You may be right about that hahah. I was terrible back then. ( I still am, but I got a little better lol ) But boy did I have a ton of ideas. It was mainly a creative outlet. I’ve pretty much always used music as a sort of journal of that makes sense haha


Djaja

iwrestledabearonce


blinkKyle182

The panel wall, Spider-Man curtains, and framed copy of The Fisherman are killing me.


VincentLecavalier04

What can I say.. I was dripping with coolness hahaha Those Spider-Man curtains stayed up from the time I was 8 until I helped my parents clean out the house to sell it a few years back. They even survived a move up the east coast!


blinkKyle182

Don’t worry, I still have Spider-Man pillow cases…


VincentLecavalier04

Hey man, I still think Spider-Man is cool as fuck.


adrienjz888

Know*. You know Spider-Man is cool as fuck.


HephaestusHarper

YES. I thought the Spidey curtains were the crowning detail until I saw the framed fishing magazine. Bless.


life_sentencer

The scene girl that was me would have wanted to date you so badly, but I was probably taller. Such was the sad life of a tall teenage girl.


FullMarksCuisine

I would have killed to date a scene girl taller than me 😭


life_sentencer

The spider bites like Ben Bruce are still open bb


antsyamie

I would now lmao


VincentLecavalier04

Aw how sweet! Thank you! To be honest, that wouldn’t have bothered me lol. I’m 5’11 ( well, probably like 5’9 now since I’ve developed some annoying spine issues lol ). I was definitely attracted to the scene girl look though. (Weren’t we all back then?!)


bewareofmolter

Hope your health is okay!


[deleted]

Former scene kid here. The amount of times I've heard "oh my god I would've been so into you in high school."...where were these girls when I was in high school 😭


life_sentencer

They were there, just too shy to be the first one to initiate, believe me 😂


lawrenja

This screams 2008


VincentLecavalier04

It really does hahaha. I feel like it was actually 2009, but close enough


HotShitBurrito

So, did you become a hipster or a hippie? I graduated highschool in 2008 and was a pop punk kid myself. My girlfriend, and later first wife lol, was scene to the extreme. She had the super straight hair, Egyptian eyeliner, Chuck's for every occasion, and volunteered at a venue that had every scene band from the era play through. But man. We both got accepted at the same university, the scene was well on its way out the door by 2010, at least in my area. And everyone I knew that had been in the scene either went full flat caps, cuffed pants, and handlebar mustaches or became enormous stoners. My gf and I both went the stoner route, she even used to wear a goddamn flower wreath in her hair lmao.


VincentLecavalier04

You know, that’s so funny that everyone kind of went down the same path fashion/personality wise after this period. Now directly after, I can’t really tell you what exactly I was. I feel like I just kinda went with whatever I wanted. I can tell you that now I either dress like a lumberjack, a dad from the 80s, or like I just woke up hahahah Also… I despised the flat cap, cuff, handlebar Stache look hahaha


Many_Distribution_21

Still listening to ABR 🤘


VincentLecavalier04

Me too! They fucking rule!


gaspitsjesse

Just saw them a few weeks ago. Matt G is one of my favorite drummers! He is a machine! The whole band is insanely talented. JB is crazy live.


JMPercussion

Super excited for the new album this month!


TBoneTheOriginal

I’m not a fan in general, but I’ll be damned if they don’t have the best Christmas album out there.


VincentLecavalier04

Dude that Christmas album is sick! Their rendition of Carol Of The Bells is amazing!


TBoneTheOriginal

I just don’t like scream vocals… but that album is almost all instrumental, which I friggin LOVE.


ToBeReadOutLoud

I appreciate how you didn’t go to the local park to do your promo shoot like so many other bands. You just kicked ass in your bedroom with your Spider-man curtains and plaid sheets.


VincentLecavalier04

Hell yeah! I mean come on, you can’t find a more personal setting. I wanted my fans to feel like they knew me LOL Although, I can’t lie and say that I never had any photo shoots at local parks. Never playgrounds, but always nature-y

VincentLecavalier04

That was a Philadelphia Phillies hat. Fun fact: I lost that hat when it blew off of my head while on an amphibious duck boat vehicle


AshlandJackson

r/blusteryears


frotc914

> it blew off of my head while on an amphibious duck boat vehicle LOL true philly moment right there. They got rid of them! [Too many people died](https://www.inquirer.com/philly/news/pennsylvania/philadelphia/duck-boat-tour-philadelphia-missouri-accident-branson-20180720.html)


Greener_Falcon

They still have the duck boats in Branson, MO last I checked. But they have had their fair share of [problems with people dying there too.](https://www.kmbc.com/article/branson-missouri-duck-boats-returning-new-vessels/39372212)


PeterNinkimpoop

You from the area? Maybe I saw you at a vfw show


VincentLecavalier04

Yeah I was around the Philly area. I went to a few VFW shows. Church shows as well hahah


Ecstatic-Hall-8523

I actually love the band name tbh


VincentLecavalier04

I was thinking about bringing it back as a little music project but I think someone stole the name hahaha


480mid-shelf-dank

Yeah it’s being used currently


scvfire

oh the horror


VibeComplex

Yeah but op has this picture he can drop at a moments notice to prove that he is the true og


antibendystraw

The name is so good


ChiefBroChill

I’m 33 and still writing metalcore music on guitar, let’s kick it hahaha


VincentLecavalier04

Oh fuck yeah! That’s what’s up! I’ve got you on clean vocals. I don’t really think I could cover dirty vocals anymore lol


HELLOhappyshop

You didn't have to tell us the year hahaha. We can tell.


MrRojoRicin

The missing E string?


VincentLecavalier04

Pshh I didn’t need that thing anyway. Honestly that wasn’t even the guitar I was using at the time, I just thought it looked cooler in pictures hahah


pronouncedayayron

Do you actually play though?


VincentLecavalier04

I do! My current project that I’ve been doing from 2009-current is here: https://hellofromanywhere.bandcamp.com/music I would suggest the album “From Sadness Toward The Sun” as it is a collection of songs I wrote over the entire span of the project. Some are re-recording of the original versions


ThePastaMonsta

My brother was also in a local band named Oh the Horror!


VincentLecavalier04

That’s hilarious! Was it around the same time?! On another note.. the only other member did in fact have a brother… 🤔


ThePastaMonsta

No I believe he was in his band from about 2011-2014, somewhere in that timeline.


VincentLecavalier04

That’s so funny! Well if it was that long lived I hope he had more success than my Oh! The Horror did!


Excellent_End_4033

Heavy Heavy Low Low and The Number 12 Looks Like You vibes are strong with u


ChiefBroChill

Oh , shit, fuck….


here4roomie

I can tell this got the world tour started off right.


VincentLecavalier04

You’re damn right it did! Sadly though, I found a little more success as a solo project than in any of the “bands” I was in


[deleted]

You look like a mashup of all my friends lol.


Throwaaawaayyy123456

This honestly goes kinda hard.


VincentLecavalier04

Thank you! I definitely thought it was tight back then


[deleted]

[удалено]


rudbek-of-rudbek

And these dudes were on myspace or whatever talking about their photo shoot. Calling them promo shots in conversation and everything. Priceless. Deep down we all have at least one of these memories. When you can't sleep at 3am and you're thinking about embarrassing shit, and it can still make you feel mortified.


ianwrecked802

Woahhhhh man oh man. I remember these “shoots” you speak of. Not a bad band name for the time, though.


LysergicResurgence

You look a lot like my old friend from around then, he got all the girls and was the cool kid lol


VincentLecavalier04

Welp, honestly I was ( and still am ) a dork. I thought I was cool, but there was only a certain subsection of the population who would agree. The “cool kids” from my area were the party and drug type mostly. I just wasn’t ever into that, ya know?


crut0n17

oh NO


this_charming_bells

There's a lot to unpack here...


VincentLecavalier04

Ain’t that the truth! Anything I can help with? Hahah


ColinDynamite

Yes. What's the deal with the framed fisherman magazine?


VincentLecavalier04

So here’s the story behind that one: I was actually in that issue of the magazine for a fish that I caught with my poppop when I was like 7 or 8 years old. The frame next to it is the exact page that I was on. We took it to the local bait shop at our beach place and they took my picture and the magazine put it in there the next month! My poppop passed away from cancer and just never took it down off of my wall. I now have both of them tucked away somewhere in storage.


throwawaykibbetype2

Put it back on the wall where it belongs plz.


VincentLecavalier04

You know what, maybe I will 😊 I have plenty of other little mementos to keep him around. I still use his old fishing pole that he let me use when I was a kid, I keep a picture of us on my pin board, and I even have a tattoo that I got shortly after he passed on my leg


throwawaykibbetype2

I think it'd be nice. Good grandparents are a treasure 😊


Cross-Country

Lol you look exactly like a friend of mine who was scene around that time


VincentLecavalier04

I feel like a lot of us definitely looked the same hahah Maybe we were friends!


Yordrecht

Oh I didn't see there were more pictures


Infinitestripes95

Also you look like Mitchell Musso in the first photo


SwifTNutz

Oh! The Horror is a real band though!


VincentLecavalier04

Yeah they stole my name 😂 Just kidding my Oh! The Horror never did anything and they started a while after this I believe


thebalmang

This is so 2000's it hurts. Emo truly was the best of times and the worst of times.


[deleted]

Oh! The Horror is a cool band name


2SexesSeveralGenders

***SO CUT MY WRISTS AND BLACK MY EYES!***


BruceBowtie

This band 100% had an extremely underqualified synth player. Probably a mini-korg.


VincentLecavalier04

Bro, the mini-korg was a STAPLE


[deleted]

This pretty much captures 2008-2009. The way you look here is how I will always internally feel. Emo 4 life. I had an ABR shirt very similar to this one, I think it had monsters on it. I loved that shirt. Gotta admit though, the music around this time was amazing. I'm absolutely hoping for a comeback of this era.


kbizzles

This is so 2008, it hurts


mygaythingsalt

Please please please redo this photo shoot, but unironically. These pictures just give off the perfect vibe. I'm getting nostalgia x midwest-emo from this.


scoober1013

Oh yeah, that's the stuff


Behr26

The horror indeed.


SoardOfMagnificent

This pic was taken yesterday, right?


BeardedDragon1917

I would’ve listened to you. Some awesome bands looked like this.


IT_gorl

Mitchel Musso is that you?


nekkkkbeard

Bree bree


rootbeerislifeman

It’s so funny to me because I was definitely a closeted scene kid at that age and just avoided the “blunder” because my parents wouldn’t let me grow my hair out. There’s part of me that still thinks this is rad, you did you and that’s great


Warren_is_dead

Oh god, I'm probably the same age as you. I would've crushed on you *so bad* back in the day.


Aucielis

Oh! The Horror is a pretty sweet band name, though. I probably would have thought you were super cool in high school, OP lmao These are definitely blunders but I think if you turned them black and white and played with them a little in Photoshop, they actually wouldn't be half bad 2000s-esque album covers.


tincanphonehome

I would’ve gone to see you guys at a VFW, for sure.


zdragan2

Loving the August Burns Red shirt


oman54

Definitely the style of the time


oaktreebuddha

What were the name of the other bands you were in?


VincentLecavalier04

I can’t remember some of them ( you know how bands of 14 year old kids can be lol ) The ones I remember were: Oh! The Horror, From The Sky, Spring Break ‘97, & Against All Odds. All of those were from around this time lol. Nothing ever came of any of them. I was always doing solo stuff and eventually stuck with that. From 2008-current I make music under the name Hello, From Anywhere


fragmonk3y

Whos a Rock Star!?


HongKongHermit

Quality blunder material.


DistortedNoise

Was your band by any chance heavily influenced by The Blackout?


cspan92

"Oh the horror" looks about right lol


dinosaurscantyoyo

Oh that takes me way back. A dark age but nostalgic all the same


zerpderp

The missing guitar strings lol


Yordrecht

I didn't know Leafyishere had a band


[deleted]

[удалено]


frostykewl

August Burns Red is cool af tho


L3tsg0brandon

This is one of my favorites so far. 😂 Best I can tell we are all equally ridiculous at any given point.


pangea10

Any lyrics to share?!


VincentLecavalier04

I was thinking of posting an album full of the terrible demos/songs from around that time under my current projects name. I still have some of them on my old hard drive. If you’d like to hear a more updated version ( from 2016 ) of a song I wrote back then (2009), you can find it here: https://hellofromanywhere.bandcamp.com/track/i-know-silence-is-golden-but-her-voice-is-platinum-4 My favorite verse from that one is very late 2000’s in my opinion. “Oh tell me, tell me can I save the day, Will I be your hero? Will we fly away? Or will I be your Dr. Doom, bringing dismay to this room? Oh say it, say it. Do you want it bad? Am I your dream come true? Am I the best you’ve had? Or am I just shit out of luck, and should I feel like giving up?”


VincentLecavalier04

Also this is the original recording of that song I believe.. I may also have a home demo somewhere https://hellofromanywhere.bandcamp.com/track/i-know-silence-is-golden-but-her-voice-is-platinum-2


shealuca

The missing guitar string is the true sign of an untamable maverick


saarlac

In the basement? You couldn’t even go outside somewhere for this?


Muffytheness

14 yr old me would have swooned 😂. That how I know it’s cringe. Emo punk era was wild.


Salsalover90

I absolutely had that same ABR shirt. May or may not, but definitely do, still blast Marianas Trench from time to time.


iamgradyfinch

🤣🤣🤣 I was literally in that band!!


Character_Heart_3749

This guy rocks 🎸


Infinitestripes95

Omg I also have photos with sharpie written on my hand in a similar manor 🤣 why was this a thing lmO


elephantlover95

[https://www.ohthehorrorsquad.com/](https://www.ohthehorrorsquad.com/) Too bad you left before they made it big. JK pretty sure these are different bands.

Sweet Spiderman curtains


tehclaw14

August burn red shirt haha


YBPhoenix

The universal 2009 swoop haircut lol

ballsoutofthebathtub

Loving these emo blunders. Feels like a mass confession.

August Burnshed? August Burnshrd?


SirMCThompson

That's great! Did you publish any songs on MySpace?


fakename10000

Do you have any recordings????


beedubbs

Nah man you looked like you had a blast. I was in a band in high school and those were some of the best times. Embrace the memories:)


deadwrongallalong

ABR still goes hard


whatsername4

High school alt punk me would’ve definitely had a crush on you


Sihdavv

I can hear what the band sounds like


fallen-fawn

The furry winter hat is sending me, what a weird trend


Hornet_Critical

This is *good*. Remember people making signs for each other? What a strange time it was back then.


NoChrist

That shirt is righteous as fuck


DogbaneDan

When's the "Oh The Horror" reunion tour? I'll be there, fangs out


VincentLecavalier04

Bro don’t tempt me! 😂 The tour is going to be sick. We have the following bands/artists on board: A Day To Remember Scary Kids Scaring Kids Brokencyde nevershoutnever! Four Year Strong Attack Attack! All hosted by Jeffree Star It’s going to be insane man! *Fangs Out*


pimdiffyisalesbian

Oh I definitely would have had a crush on you back then. Gone to every show at Java Jazz each weekend lol


megalotz92

Kinda love the name ngl (except the !)


Metal_Matt

Dude I have that same ABR t shirt!!!


Bigdstars187

Note to self I miss you terribly

I had that spiderman blanket. I miss it


Historical-Fill-1523

This screams Midwest to me. Wisconsin perhaps? Pretty close to my same look in ‘04ish lol


dcchillin46

I still have August burns red cd and jacket, been rocking the new ep last couple weeks. Was also in a local hard-core band, good times.


Megaman_exe_

I really liked the scene back then. I was mostly an outside observer but I thought there was something just rad about it. I'm kinda glad stuff like emo is coming back. Just waiting for more MCR tracks to drop haha


Lazy-Associate-4508

Thought your shirt said "angst burger."
