What do you guys think of the two new Motion City Soundtrack songs released so far from their upcoming album? They don't quite blow me away, but I still dig them. MCS is probably the most consistent band I know. If you haven't heard them: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oMA7fB84Qfg http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5_FSeqhLGv4

EvilHawk posted:Oh hell yes. I only really listened to Certain from their last album (though I did listen to it about 15 times in one day, it's super catchy) but this sounds awesome. Hopefully the rest of the album will be as good. Sounds like you're looking for some new pop-punk - check out Knockout Kid's EP "Your Name All Over It", Me Vs Hero's "Days That Shape Our Lives" and City Lights' "In It to Win It". They have summer written all over them. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tsb8Y3D0V5Q http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5e2orIXcM6Y http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yjrmPyxjyP4

I hope AlternativNews puts out another summer playlist. Last year I discovered a handful of awesome bands just from that. Living with Lions, Me vs. Hero, The Anchor Boys, The Offseason, etc. I'm down with any band that fills the hole left by All Time Low when they stopped sounding like Coffee Shop Soundtrack and starting sounding like whatever the gently caress it is they're doing now.

Now, here's some new jams that I'm digging the hell out of. Real Friends - Floorboords (off the Everyone That Dragged You Here EP) Misser - Reconnect This (off of the Every Day I Tell Myself I'm Going To Be A Better Person full-length Light Years - Feet First (off the ...Just Between Us EP) It hasn't been a banner year yet for pop-punk (it's not summer yet! gotta wait for then), but these three releases are all really good. edit: the Mixtapes full-length is easily my most anticipated release of the summer. Did you hear the track they did for the new The Thing That Ate Larry Livermore compilation, Right Where To Find Me? It's awesome. And it doesn't appear to be on the internet right now, I'm glad I ripped the MP3 off of ap.net's servers while they were streaming it. edit2: Aggro posted:I'm down with any band that fills the hole left by All Time Low when they stopped sounding like Coffee Shop Soundtrack and starting sounding like whatever the gently caress it is they're doing now.

Not to dredge up the Patrick Stump conversation again, but "Sophomore Slump or Comeback of the Year" came on my last.fm earlier and I had a revelation. "The kids you used to love, but then we grew old." Look Pat, I know Pete wrote most of the lyrics, but you can't write a longwinded rebuttal about wanting everyone to love your "Soul Punk" poo poo when you sang a lyric SEVEN YEARS AGO about what was gonna happen to you.

William Beckett (ex-Academy Is...) released some solo stuff. Here's his video for "Compromising Me": http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DIurJbZjRKE I'm glad he doesn't care what I think about him, because I think this song is God-loving-awful.

I saw The Academy Is... at literally the perfect time. It was just before Santi came out and they played every track from Almost Here, plus three from Santi (the first two tracks they released, which are both still pretty great, and Seed, which is not great at all) and I think maybe one from their first EP. It was fantastic. I guess hearing some of Fast Times live woulda been nice too, but Almost Here will always be their strongest work by far.

Yea, Almost Here will always rank as one of my favorite pop-punk albums of all time. I must have listened to The Phrase That Pays a hundred times when I got that CD.

I was really hopeful for Fast Times... because as a band they seemed to acknowledge that Santi was pretty much garbage and they promised a return to form, so to speak. I didn't hate the stuff I heard off of it, but it was not what I hoped. Almost Here is such a great album, it transcends a lot of genres. I think they just got too big too fast.

I'm digging this Real Friends EP so much. It's tremendously awesome. Definitely gonna be in my summer rotation, and past that most likely. I really disliked Me vs. Hero. They just sounded too "fake" or something to me. Can anyone suggest stuff that sounds more like Real Friends? Older stuff or newer stuff.

I'll assume you've already heard The Wonder Years.  Stickup Kid - Dreaming of Kenny Rogers (off the Nothing About Me EP) Rust Belt Lights - Haters Get Hated (off the I Call Fives/Rust Belt Light split) Playtime Revenue - Worlds (off the Revolving... EP) Second to Last - Feels the Same (off the Vessel EP) Turnover - Permanent (off the Citizen/Turnover split) Forever Came Calling - Front Porch Sunrise (off the Handguns/Forever Came Calling split [why the gently caress do they have a VEVO?]) Forever Losing Sleep - Stay Classy San Diego (off the Only Up From Here EP) There's a few for starters. It's all newer poo poo from the past year or so, but all has that "honest" edge you're looking for. deadwing fucked around with this message at Jun 25, 2012 around 15:27 |

I am a huge fan of SYG (minus their last full album), The Wonder Years, Fireworks, Such Gold, and Title Fight. Thanks for the suggestions, I'll check em out! P.S: Totally stoked for the new Such Gold album, but I hope they get better production quality.

A lot of people at Absolutepunk.net hated Fast Times because it wasn't "mature" enough, but the band went all in on creating an album encompassing youthful energy and fun, and for the most part they succeeded IMO. "About A Girl" and "Summer Hair = Forever Young" are pretty much perfect pop/rock songs. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2cd-ZOgeA3Y

The main problem with Fast Times... isn't the direction, it's that all the other songs on the album are essentially either worse versions of the two tracks you posted, besides After the Last Midtown Show, which is a pretty good slower song.

By the way, has anyone heard the new Make Do and Mend yet? It's amazing. It's not a powerful, poo poo-kicker of an album the way that End Measured Mile was, but the songwriting is incredible.

I like Fast Times plenty but the sound does somewhat feel like a regression - they were always one of the more mature bands, in a sense, to come out of that scene, and the switch to a more youthful sound with lyrics about high school made them sound a little too generic. Still far better than whatever the gently caress's going on with most of Santi, though.

Aw, The Offspring put out a new album on Tuesday. They'll never put anything that captures the energy and spirit on Ignition and Smash, but they'll always have a special place in my heart for being the first band that I heard on the radio and then begged my mom to take me to the record store to buy their album. I probably saw them like ten times when I was a teenager...it blows my mind to know that everyone in the band is over 40 now. And they're still doing "Whoa-ohs" on almost every track  Edit: Although Cruising California (Bumpin' in My Trunk) might have just burned a solid decade of goodwill. Holy poo poo what a catastrophe of a song. Aggro fucked around with this message at Jun 29, 2012 around 00:39 |

That song is absolutely hilarious. And I think it really speaks to how much The Offspring suck these days that they can release a clear parody song and have everyone think it's legit.

The Offspring own, is what I'm saying.

Starting Line, New Found Glory and Taking Back Sunday are all doing 10 year anniversary, play a full album tours and I'm glad I'm not 14 anymore because I'd be sad I didn't have money for this. Instead I'm glad I'm 26 and can spend money on better things. Still might go to TSL at Starland if tickets are cheap cause it's like next door

Oh wait, so this thread is pretty much the pop-punk thread? If it had a more descriptive title I'd have found it years ago. I wonder if this would also be the place for Lower Than Atlantis, who I've been enjoying lately.

People are just raging about it and its drat hilarious. Also. If anyone cares apparently Wade McNeil of Alexisonfire and more currently of Gallows tweeted some time back that Alexisonfire will tour one last time. I'm assuming it'll be sometime after the Gallows tour and City and Colour wraps up a few dates towards the end of September. If they hit anywhere around me (Upstate NY, NYC/Boston/Hartford/Philly) I will probably go to a few of those shows.
