AllAccess says this is going to be the second single from the band's self-titled album and will be going for adds to Active on September 23rd.
This is just a tribute video, but I'm sure the official will be released soon enough:

Good song, I can see this being another hit for them. I was hoping for "Christ Copyright" though.

I'm okay with this choice, but I'd rather "Christ Copyright" or "I'll Be OK" over this.

Yeah, I was also hoping for "Christ Copyright". I'm not particularly comfortable with the subject matter in this song to see it as a single.

Why not post a better link of the song? Anyway: you will probobly hate that I mention this, cux this is probly one of the least important reasons why some of you like this band, but this is one of the more melodic songs on thier album. I used to love MTV untill it went to the coorporate toilet, so I kinda like this song. The chorus is very good. BTW, a link to the album and Mr. MTV. www.youtube.com/watch?v=losfEMxb7o0&index=4&list=PLcS8rpamFG8lMJBHBWjpX-8sEYYKDiQ9a |

Also, given you like more melodic music and ballads, I'd think "I'll Be OK" would be among your favorites on the record. I'm rooting for that as single #3. |

jvandyck87. I was actually gonna mention "I'll Be OK", but I didn't want it to steel the new singles moment. That one would be good as single #3.I also got KO'd by "First Punch" Even the chorus sounds a bit early 2000s angsty.

This is significantly better than "This is The Time", which I didn't care for so I'm pleasantly surprised. Hopefully it continues to grow on me.
I think I'll be ok with this particular song getting the free pass on active that metal songs usually get.

Most real metal fans wouldn't call anything that charts on active rock "metal". For the sake of discussing mainstream rock music, it's metal. |

I don't know, even calling it mainstream metal is a bit of a stretch. I'd rather just call it hard rock, I really don't see anything metal about this or "This is the Time." |

I think Stone Sour, Chevelle, Breaking Benjamin, TDG, Deftones, etc are hard rock, I find these guys heavier than that. Plus they scream alot (not that screaming = metal, but they generally coincide naturally). But to each his own I guess.

I compare them more to Fair To Midland and maybe a bit like Slipknot. I only know the two singles, so I'm not sure if I can judge by just those two songs.

I don't concider them Hard Rock at all. Nickelback, AC/DC , Slash. that's hard rock. I concider them more along the lines of Disturbd. So I call them Nu Metal or Alternative metal. the official video is out. <iframe width="560" height="315" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/IXxHwOkYEYs" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> I like it cuz it's a much needed stab at pop culture. It's still won't let me emedd the vid. SHIT!!!  www.youtube.com/watch?v=IXxHwOkYEYs |

I'd classify these guys as Alt Metal probably. "Hard Rock" and "Metal" are little too broad, and yeah these guys fit with Fair To Midland though I wouldn't slap a "prog-metal" label on them.

I still like this, but the lyrics are really dumb. And yes, I get the point of the song.
That doesn't matter too much though, because I like the lyrics for "This Is The Time" and I don't like the song.

I'm sorry, but any song with the line "Fake tits, big breasts" is laughable. |

Free drugs, Cheap sex
Fake tans, Big breasts
High times, Pimped rides
Lost days to blackout nights
I need this, I need that
I'm not complete with what I have
If I do this, If I buy that
I'll get mine, I'll get mine
I want, I want, I want...
Empty me, empty nation
Emptied us of inspiration
Bastard sons and broken daughters
All bow down to our corporate father
In my iLife, In my iWorld
On my iPhone, With my iGirl
Just one bite to understand
Even Eve couldn't live without the iPlan
I NEED IT
Do this, Buy that
Get my drugs and sex
More drugs, Want sex, Need sex
MTV, MTnation
MTus of inspiration
Bastard sons and broken daughters
All bow down to our corporate fatherThe Apple hating verse is the most ridiculous, but this might be the most ridiculous active single lyrically since "Gunfight" by Sick Puppies. And even that song at least taught me the story of how the west was won
