[wnkrs]

waddup this song is an essential summer jam (the last one, called congratulations)

it really captures tha innocence of being young and hittin a nug on the beach/fallin in love for tha 1st time (only 2 have ur heart broken 4 the first time, we have so much 2 learn, life is a journey)

but the rest of the album blows, this song is a masterpiece tho.  let down tha front.  PUNK IS BACK

[NATE K]

This is done nothing for me.

[wnkrs]

ya gotta listen again

[wnkrs]

[wnkrs]

Enjoyed this with a fat nug.

While I don't think these guys are great, they do have something mildly interesting going on, at least within the sphere of music that they're operating in.  Some pretty catchy tunes, and they're always name-dropping Suicide and Royal Trux in interviews, and they just had Helios Creed open for them, which at least means they have good taste and are trying to turn on their fanbase ala Kurt Cobain (obv not to nearly the same magnitude).

Also had one of the dudes from Spacemen 3 work on their newer album. 

In short, compared to other bigger "indie" / college rock acts... better than most.

Jared, what'd you think of the song?

I didn't check out the link, but if it's the one I'm thinking of it's not bad.

I can only do what you speak with this record:


Anymore vulnerability on my part would lead to this:

This reminds me of the French band AIR.  More rock oriented, but with a lot of the same moves.

[HFohr]

and they're always name-dropping Suicide and Royal Trux in interviews

Since when does name dropping cool bands mean you're in one?

[wnkrs]

yo layawaybutch when you come through chicago late at night while everyone's in bed i'm gonna wake you up for a smoke we hit some nugz and i'm gonna put on this song and just wait and then we'll both burst into tears hugging and then we'll go to sleep cuddling.  CUDDLEMONSTER

this song is really good though, by being so punk & negative towards hipper pop music we're closing off pop gems from the dime & on.  pretty stupid.
