August Burns Red have been quite vocal in their opposition to the myriad of hardcore bands that have come out and flooded the market (with many of them sounding the same). To me this is their song to those bands ... those that simply follow the trend, don't try to innovate or create their own sound.
In the end if a band is "middle of the road" they will fade from existence. The hardcore boom seems to have popped a little bit, and I think we will see who is left standing after it all (August Burns Red are one of the few hardcore bands I actually enjoy because they do progress their music and innovate).
