You want nothing more than to slap your boss. And then to quit your job. You want to spit in your professor’s face. You want to tell your parents you’re joining the circus to make money for crack…JUST TO PISS THEM OFF. Today is the day you tell your best friend that those jeans DO make her ass look big because HER ASS IS BIG. You want to list off all of your exes to your guy who have been better in bed. That’s right. This is what I refer to as a “SCREW EVERYONE” day.

And they should never be spent without a soundtrack. So me and my Ipod went and made a playlist for these days.

“Spent on Rainy Days” BRIGHT EYES (Indie)
“Blueprint” FUGAZI (Punk)
“Gravity” DRESDEN DOLLS (Rock)
“Today is the day” MOROS EROS (Indie/Experimental)
“The Egg” SHINER (Indie/Alternative)
“The Other” ISIS (Experimental/Metal)
“The Never Aftermath” THE END (Metal/Ambient)
“In The Belly Of A Shark” GALLOWS (Punk/Rock)
“Complete and utter confusion” FEAR BEFORE THE MARCH OF FLAMES (Experimental/Rock)
“Set fire to the face on fire” THE BLOOD BROTHERS (Other/Punk)

So instead of taking your Screw Everyone day out on the people around you…why not just put on these songs and let out your angst the old fashioned way? You know…like a 14-year-old who just slammed her bedroom door in her mom’s face. And then locked the door. And then wrote “Screw EVERYONE” in her blog.

What’s better than a southern punk rock sounding band comprised of tattooed boys who have some serious chips on their shoulders? A southern punk rock sounding band comprised of tattooed boys with serious chips on their shoulders who are FROM ENGLAND.

Most people call them Gallows, but after spending a couple months on Warped Tour alongside them this past summer; I call them The UK’s Answer To The Shitty American Hottopic-esque Bands Polluting The Minds Of Today’s Teens, instead.

They’re angry. But they’re honest. They don’t prepackage themselves with the sorta fashion you’d expect out of a festival like Warped Tour these days. In fact, Gallows pretty much don’t give a f*$k about anything. Read More »

Admittedly, I’ve been on this strange pop-punk kick and I’ve been listening to bands I got into in like…2001. Nonetheless, this is a brand new song (well, it’s a Sixpence None the Richer cover…) from New Found Glory called “Kiss Me”.
