[Escape@Hand]

The album that changed everything for me.

Thanks Robbie, Johnny, Paul, Sinclair and Gordie.

Anyone else here got some intense IBE love?

Mean Streak, Copenhagen, If New Orleans Is Beat, Gus... what a gem.

I know 75% of the people here grew up with Fully Completely and Henhouse etc... but this was the shit I grew up with.

Although I did grow up on FC, DFN, TATH, and PP, I LOVE LOVE LOVE IBE. I'm really quite sad I'll never hear live performances of Vaccination Scar or You're Everywhere again. The IBE tour was the first time I saw the Hip in the US (Rochester) and it was a standout show, easily one of the best times I've ever seen them. I saw three shows on the last tour (Victoria, Ottawa and Kingston) and the IBE set during the Ottawa show was perhaps my favourite moment out of any of the shows, from a purely musical standpoint (the Kingston show had an atmosphere that was incredible and beyond capturing in words).
