Man, this band is terrible (and these guys are a bunch of pricks).

They could have picked another song to butcher.

Not to discount you, but I've never heard a person say anything positive about those guys. It's always how arrogant and dicky they are.

I toured with these guys for a few weeks back in December... and all i can say is that I love them very much.. and they are not pricks at all.. they are very sweet and down to earth people.. So I am the first person to say something positive about them to you..

this band is horrible! all they do is a cheap rip off of old thrice from back in the identity crisis days except the singer for sksk completly sucks and can't sing in tune. save your money and wait for the real thing instead of some cheap clone.

They were pretty cool at the Warped Tour in DC having fun with fans. As a R.E.M. fan, I hope the song turns out well. Interestingly enough, "Losing My Religion" is also the song that Anthony Rapp used at his audition that impressed Jonathan Larson and landed him the role of Mark in Rent.

They were nice to me Evan. I hung out with them in Wilmington and in Raleigh when they were on the Too Cold for School tour. No complaints here. Youre just being a punk.

I agree with the "nice guys and down to earth".

I talked with the singer and keyboardist for a few minutes at Warped Tour in Toronto and they seemed like great guys. So there's another person saying how nice they are.

I've met them and they're really nice. I'm under the impression you've never met them and, if you haven't, you should stop talking shit. I wouldn't call you arrogant and dicky if one of my friends said you were.

I've met them a couple of times, and they were never dicks to me..however..I'm a fan of Tori Amos' cover of this song, but otherwise it's on of those songs best left uncovered.

Punk Goes 90's? Wow..never thought I'd see the day. heh.

What bands/songs are going to be on this comp?

I think it's kind of ironic that their old drummer Pete left the band because he is going on a 2 year mission for his church. Does the song they chose have correlation? Good man Pete.

the dudes in Scary Kids are really awesome dudes. They offered me a ride home from a show one time. I find that most bands are pretty quiet, and then you talk to them and all of sudden they act as if they've been your best buds since the sandbox. I send my love to the scary kids.
