    magrudergrind + toyota

    so, after punkmar brought this to my attention, i did some quick searching and found out more info. here's a link to a super biased (in favor of magrudergrind) metal page thing....basically, scion (aka toyota) is funding magrudergrind so that they can put out their new EP for free. Apparently, scion has also been sponsering metal/grind shows so that they can also be free. here's the link for more info.....let them eat cake i suppose

    Re: magrudergrind + toyota

    On the one hand, it's awesome that the Magrudergrind release was made free...on the other, Scion's agenda behind this shit is pretty damn obvious, even if they aren't making money off it. They wanna make themselves seem "hip" or whatever, and by extension Toyota seem hip...so yeah, I'll still listen to Magrudergrind (and Neurosis, Brutal Truth, Municipal Waste, and any other bands I enjoy who have dealt with Scion), but fuck Scion/Toyota regardless.

    Re: magrudergrind + toyota

    wow...this suddenly became more depressing. toyota has to pay for all those losses because of their brake problems some way. brutal truth is the one that surprised me the most.....from splits with spazz to selling out with scion, the brutal truth is now apparant hehe....

    i guess grind can't talk shit on emo anymore....

    Re: magrudergrind + toyota

    I don't quite understand what the problem is. Does the company give the bands money in the hope of making money by association? Do the bands have to buy Toyota vans? Or do shout outs at gigs? Could it not be that Toyota merely sponsor gigs of a somewhat extreme nature and these bands end up on the bills? I wouldn't want my ep funded by Scion or whatever but for a lot of these bands, I can't see what the big ball-drop is here. The worst seems to be The Melvins spray-painted on the side of the car in their flyer - cringe!

    Online shoplifting.

    Just take the ad, but tell everyone here to ignore it.
    Put it in the points of unity or something: "just ignore the Toyota ad"

    EDIT: I'm obviously kidding also, just in case no one noticed...

    Re: magrudergrind + toyota


    yep. toyota/scion has their name up on band's albums and shows, and the bands get to do free stuff. so basically, they've become the ultimate sponser/label for these bands.

    and no, the bands don't have to buy toyota products, nor do they make any money- they just have recording and shows paid for them in full via toyota product placement.

    i think the problem with this is obvious considering the fact they (the bands) are supporting one of the biggest capitalist and ecologically damaging forms of business there is.....

    this post has been brought to you buy the scion tc

    wow....fucking thou is part of this too? i just don't understand why toyota thinks they can make money off of these bands that are only known by those within the DIY scene in the first place....save of course shit like mastadon and cannibal corpse....i guess those bands are the hook.
