woah!

more like 10 years. Brings back high school memories. Now I just need some Homegrown.

pop punk isn't aging well

Maybe it's just me but is anyone else bummed that The Get Go never really toured the US? I know they had a following in Japan but I think they would've fit well as an opener for a pop punk tour.

i think they are too old to be complaining about having a 9-5 and being a kid. they have to be approaching 30

Yeah!!!

I was hoping to hear a song or two before their new album comes out.

:thumbup:

i dig this

Pretty straightforward pop punk tune - hard to come across that anymore. I like it.

not so excited

the drummer looks super stoked lol

Sounds good

i like it, specially the random smoke machine haha, but good tune

Love it.

I'm 28 and complain about those things constantly.

thats kinda sad... sorry :/

I'm 29 and Allister are definitely a few years older than me, a lot of people don't like their jobs after they turn 30 I'm pretty sure

lol. I complain about my job all the time.

Allister is awesome and still rules. Glad they do amazing in Japan, but it would be so cool to see them open a legit pop-punk tour in the states.

This

i think it is more that we, as music listeners, are "growing" up. this is shallow music with even more shallow lyrics.

and as somebody else implied, they are old now; so start writing mature lyrics.

you're probably right. I just can't get into this stuff anymore. I'd probably be stoked if I was 19 years old though. but I'm not.

I work with people in their 40s and 50s who complain about their job. Don't see what's so sad about it.

Diggin' this song.

Love this and I've hated most pop punk that's come out in the last few years.

because Allister is doing it like they are still in high school. grow up

hell yeah! vintage early-2000s drive-thru pop punk. this is how the whole genre should sound.

And like if Lil Wayne or Taylor Swift's lyrics are soo mature ??? And 35 year old listen to that...

Damn, the drummer looks so damn bored.

This true pop punk sound is so hard to come by anymore... shame. Maybe its the era of music I grew up in, but this new pop punk has nothing on Allister.

Haha didn't think I would like this. Nostalgia!

I really hope that the new album will sound more like Before the Blackout. Count Down to Nowhere was a disappointment.. I'm digging this new song so finger crossed.

I'm sorry, is there a cutoff age when I can't dislike working 9-5?

yeah when you grow up and realize that you can change any situation you are in instead of complaining about it.

or you don't sound like a child when you do it...

Oh, I forgot it's that easy, let me just flip my job switch over here and get right on that.

The fact of the matter is, I'm working a job I hate because the pay is good enough where I can send money home to support my family while affording my own life. I'm doing this while looking for a better job in a field I actually enjoy/have interest in, but if you haven't heard, the job market is crap right now. So until then, I will continue to work and bitch about the job I hate, because for me and my family, it's the responsible place I need to be in right now.

Am I thankful for employment? Absolutely. Do I work with idiots and out of touch toolbags? Definitely. The bitching continues.

maybe you should write a song about it.. then you can fit right along with allister and this video

everytime they play here he always looks into it when hes playing, always smiling and singing along to the tunes.

But I'm too old to be doing that, and you'd be in that thread bitching about it.

hahahahaha.. touche

You... I like you. E-friends?

these artists specifically write songs for mass consumption. and, in general, people like "shallow" music. hell, i love taylor swift's new song. i love carly rae jepsen. i love listening to top 40 radio hits. because of this, i have in my head what a generic pop singer/group looks/sounds like.

and allister doesn't fit my vision of a generic pop group. they are gown men. who play in a rock band. yet, my seventh grade cousin can write more interesting lyrics than these guys do. nickleback songs are more stimulating than this shit is. allister's current music sounds like they are desperately tying to get a radio hit.

here we are, 10+ years after next stop suburbia was released, and their sound has not matured...at all.
