Judging by the title, this isn't going to do much. But I could be wrong.  |

Are they attempting to go "back to their roots"? ;)
Quite a few of my friends & acquaintances in high school were really into them, and this was pre-Former Clarity.

I'm assuming this is going to be on their upcoming album 'White Crosses." I know they put out an EP about two years ago, but it's been three years since "New Wave" was put out, so it feels like an eternity since I've heard anything really new from them. I don't really expect this to do well either considering "Thrash Unreal" was the only single of theirs to ever make it into the Top 25.

I wasn't paying attention then but I'm surprised Stop! didn't make it. I watched Fuse alot then and they had that music video on ALL THE TIME. |

I always associate them with "Don't Lose Touch." That's the video Fuse was airing out the last time I had the network. I guess I assumed they had more of a track record.

It only reached #27 on Alt. rather suprisingly. "Thrash Unreal" just missed out on a fully deserved top 10 finish. And yes this is the lead single from the upcoming album titled, "White Crosses". |

If this song is the same one that has live performances up on youtube then it is a song I'm definitely looking forward to hearing in HQ. It definitely harkens back to a Sex Pistols sound and lyric base but I'm okay with that.

allaccess has this listed as the 27th now and it is streaming there. Very accessible song that I could see doing really well once radio gets its hands on it. I would be surprised if this didn't get good callout numbers on early spins.
Full title is " I Was A Teenage Anarchist"

I've listened to the new album. It's MUCH more poppier, less political, and more mainstream sounding than their previous material that I've heard. This may do decently and beat out "Thrash Unreal"'s peak.

We've had the CD at the station for a week. I can't bring myself to hear it because I was so letdown by the last (pop) album. And not to bring up our 100th wrong title or anything, but I Was A Teenage Anarchist is what's listed on the back of the CD.

It was originally listed as "Teenager Anarchist" when posted on Allaccess. I shall change it to save you from any discomfort, Artie.

No discomfort at all. At least you recognized it was wrong, unlike a few other incorrect titles floating around.

It should have a far bigger bullet than that. Cracking song.

I gave this album my full attention for the first time tonight after a week of frequent play in my car and during showers, and holy crap, is this a tremendous album. The lyrics cut so deep and just might've inspired me to write again in my free time. Tonight this album shot itself into the front-runners (HIM, Bleeding Through, Deftones) for album of the year, so far.
I already felt like it was my favorite song on the record before tonight, but I definitely want to see the anthemic "Because of the Shame" released as a single sometime.

I went back and listened to "New Wave" yesterday and it doesn't even compare. This is one of my favorite albums of the year so far and may still stay that way in December. |

I was so let down by New Wave I am too wary to try the new CD. I think I Was A Teenage Anarchist is a pretty decent single, but it hasn't distanced itself away from New Wave enough to buy the album.
