I spent the night in the hospital. Not a good time.

Here's a song by an old band of mine.

Taking Back Sunday used to be my favorite band for over a decade until Adam started singing the songs like a Baptist preacher instead of how he wrote and recorded them. Still some bangers though...

I found a website where people sell music loops they made so I'm working on a 3 song demo. Good times.

I'm a big Vinnie Caruana fan. I love The Movielife, I Am The Avalanche, and his solo albums. This song is from his solo album Survivor's Guilt.

Today's post is for the father of 3rd wave emo. Dashboard Confessional was the last concert I saw. ( With Goo Goo Dolls ).

I've always wanted to cover this song.

This is a perfect song. I love this band so much. They broke up for a while after this album and some of the members formed the band Daytrader and my old band got to open for them twice. Good times.

Of all the bands I love vocally my singing style is probably closest to Dan's. Not that I sound anything like him. Just the pretty and the hollerin I guess. This style of band would be ideal. It'd be fun to tour with them.

One of my favorite bands since I heard them on a Doghouse Records sampler before this album came out. Also love Night Terrors of 1927.

Tim Kasher is such a prolific songwriter. I love how everyone is talking at the beginning and as the song goes on the all shut the fuck up!

Fun fact: I only have 1 bumper sticker on my car and it's an Ugly Organ sticker.

As soon as Straylight Run's demos came out, that was the ideal sound I wanted for a band. Aggressively pretty music. Just a bit of hollerin.
Love it.

In 1999 in Colorado there was this little punk tv station and they played the music video for Action & Action which caused a life long love of The Get Up Kids. It's the band that started it all...

Anyway, here's Out of Reach.
