Liferuiner Members Arrested for Tagging

Looks like the name Liferuiner just got ironic for the “fill-in singer and former drummer.”

“Two members of a hardcore punk band called Liferuiner were among four young men arrested this weekend in connection with a “rampant graffiti spree” in Toronto’s west end.

The musicians, whose song titles include You Call Me Son, I Call You Dead and You Look Better When You’re Drunk, were arrested late Friday night in the town of Uxbridge - nearly 90 kilometres away from scene of the alleged vandalism - where the band kicked off what was supposed to be a 43-city tour through Canada and the United States.”

Somehow the band will be able to continue their tour. Maybe the fill-in dude was a decoy or something.

My favorite is this:

Various businesses, including a commercial photography studio, an Asian produce depot and a perfume importer, have been sprayed-painted with similar messages such as “Riff Raff,” “Get Loose!” and “Cahoots!”

Get Loose? Hey Liferuiner, 1988 called, they want their catch phrases back.

He really shouldn’t borrow clothes from the other guys in the band.

Speaking as fat man, I can say it was very difficult fronting a metalcore band. I blew my load halfway through the 2nd song hahah. Then I stopped screaming and worked more as a growl, made it about 4 songs.

Matthew Moore -

You blew your load? What the hell did you do on stage and what does being fat have to do with that? Do fat people bust a nut every time they make noise into a microphone?

these guys aren’t a hardcore band. Their more like a mix of Impending Doom with Winds Of Plague. Doom-Metal with breakdowns galore.

Johnny OC is not the vocalist anymore he quit/ran away he had his life threatened to many times on tour, the new kid who is vocals is actually a good vocalist and a nice guy. he unfortunately should be in a more chaos band. the guys who did graf are not even in the band.

I live in the area where the graffiti was done by the band Liferuiner. Personally i think we should all just find where they live and there parent live and we should graffiti there places.
i hope all 4 of your careers are ruined.
And don’t come back to etobicoke.

Matt turned this thread nasty with his careless word choice.

Thmack you, big boy!

I’d like to see some pics myself just to see if they were at least putting up some legit work. Even if not, get over it. There’s far worse going on in our cities, not to mention the world, than kids tagging up walls with goofy phrases.

I heard that some of the stuff actually looks decent.

Also, Get Loose is the former band of ex-drummer Shane. Search them on Myspace if you like good skate hardcore.
