AP.net Interview: Shut Up and Deal
 

It's very rare nowadays to see where a lot of hard work actually pays off. Meet Shut Up and Deal, a pop-punk band that will be on this year's Warped Tour after proving their work ethic to founder Kevin Lyman. Through hustling and determination, the band is poised to garner many new fans this summer. Click here to read an interview with the band. If you like what you read, you can listen to their entire EP, This One's For Me here.

Good job Joe. Good to see you're still around playing.

Cameron (yep, long time no see)

Music's great. looking forward to seeing these guys at Warped.

I don't really listen to this kind of music but this is remarkably good. I hope they do well on Warped.

I like them... for some reason they remind me of Number one gun...Celebrate Mistake days

i gotta say of anyone, they really worked their asses off and deserve this opportunity.

Dude. Good jams. Will definitely be checking these guys out at Warped this summer.

I really like their view on Warped from the interview. I always like going to Warped to get a chance to listen to bands I wouldn't normally know of.

Hurry up everybody! Like them so you can say you liked them before they were "cool!"

But good music, nonetheless.

They played some dates on warped last year, thats where i discovered them, and bought both of their ep's (go buy them! they're really good!!!). I was so happy to see that they're playing every date this summer, they deserve it! Great guys, great music!!! Spread the word!!! Let's see them play to a thousand kids (or more!!) every day this summer!!!

only listened to a few clips, but sounds good from what I've heard. I'll have to check out more of these guys.

I don't really listen to a whole lot of pop-punk these days. But I'm actually enjoying this.

I can get down with this music. Not the best kind of pop punk by far but it's worthy.
Congrats to those dudes for finally making Warped tour and being one of the few bands that
actually care about the roots of the tour and the scene

I am enjoying this immensely. Really good stuff.

Normally I'd be all over this, but there's something that I don't like. I think it's the lead singers voice (I like the back up vocalist better). Nonetheless, they're very good.

how much did the band pay you to write that news post? haha not really saying it as a bad thing, it looks a lot like a press release

heard their music for the first time ever today, and they are great. straight up awesome. hope they continue to do great things.

wow i just made a legal purchase
