Yes, they've obviously mastered the skill of time travelling in Minnesota. We don't like to brag, but we are the leading state in time travel. Obviously I meant grew up with them in the aspect that I heard them all around me, especially from my dad. |

Every time I see this thread I get Jars of Clay's "Two Hands" stuck in my head. Probably because I still haven't heard this one.

I haven't heard "Lonely Wheel" yet, but I'm pretty damn sure it has to be better than "Hands."

"Hands" jumped from number 23 to 12 in its second week on the Christian Rock Chart. So "Lonely Wheel" is more than likely the mainstream single.

I'm just speculating since "Lonely Wheel" has a video and all.

I have to say. Hands doesn't sound as good live. The effect during the chorus sounds so cool and I couldn't really hear it live. That's what usually sets the mood of the song for me. They played a new one that wasn't on the EP that was released a few days ago, and it's the title track from their album "Monster, Monster" Gotta say the track "Monster" stood out the most though. They played that last. Oh. Also played Lonely Wheel. Sounded great |

Well, this was an almighty flop and a half. They should have gone with "Lonely Wheel", atleast that stood a chance  |

They'll be covering Tom Petty's ''Free Fallin', sounds excellent from the clips I've heard. |

And since it might as well be titled Fly By Night Scene Bands Whose Average Listener Is 14 Years Old Go Classic Rock, all these cover versions will be unlistenable to anyone over 25 and may induce vomiting and bleeding from the ears. |

Yes sorry '' Punk Goes Classic Rock'' is correct. The other title you mentioned seems just as suitable. Here's the track listing. Looks like there could be a few train wrecks. 1. Hit the Lights - "More than a Feeling" 2. VersaEmerge - "Paint It Black" 3. The Almost - "Free Fallin'" 4. Mayday Parade - "We Are the Champions" 5. The Summer Set - "Rock 'n Roll All Nite" 6. We the Kings - "Caught Up in You" 7. A Skylit Drive - "Separate Ways (Worlds Apart)" 8. I See Stars - "Your Love" 9. Pierce the Veil - "(Don't Fear) The Reaper" 10. Forever the Sickest Kids - "Crazy Train" 11. The Maine - "Pour Some Sugar on Me" 12. Envy on the Coast - "All Along the Watchtower" 13. Every Avenue - "Take Me Home Tonight" 14. Never Shout Never - "Bohemian Rhapsody" 15. Blessthefall - "Dream On" |

Never Shout Never - "Bohemian Rhapsody" 15. Blessthefall - "Dream On" I mean for god's sake, the only reason I've even heard of Hit the Lights, VersaEmerge, The Summer Set, Envy on the Coast, Every Avenue & Never Shout Never is because I subscribe to Alternative Press. I vaguely know what Never Shout Never sounds like, but I haven't heard a full song of his. (Frankly it sounds like they'd all be awful.) I mean, these all might as well be the same band, they matter that little in the grand scheme of relevant music. |

I have a few songs from Mayday Parade, one from We The Kings, and I've heard Forever The Sickest Kids. I've heard of all of these bands from AbsolutePunk.net, but yeah they really do sound so damn similar. As much as I love pop-punk/emo bands, they really do all blend together if they don't have a major distinct sound to them.
