Teri Yakimoto

Just another awesome song by a punk rock band that I've listened to a lot. This music just puts me in a good mood and gives me the inspiration I need. It's all about the sound...

Back in 2000 or something, I used to listen to Teri Yakimoto on a badly recorded tape I had borrowed from a friend. Those were the days... didn't care about anything, we just had this music stuck in a shitty stereo and played it on repeat with my friends. It was a moment in time, all about friendship, bad nutrition, staying up late, feeling lost and waiting for something better to come along. But now I miss those times... they were punk rock days!

Now I can listen to this song in a new light, as I rise my middle finger to a life at the office, and so glad of the choices I made.

Realist Pop Punk

I am not one to like titles and labels stuck on me... but  hey, "realist punk" would be something I would be ok to identify with. I like this pic a lot... it's a pop punk thing!

Delta Beta Rush Week

No harm in a shamelessly pop punk song!

The lyrics below are so true about people today; and they still have a bit of a straight edge message. Also... notice the Foundation shirt in the photo still of the video? Exactly!

Cheap beer and cigarettes, make friends at social events... are these the only things you need? Let's talk about the days that you've been gone...

Diamond (DMND) -The Feeling

This band features Trapped Under Ice members (!) and it plays insanely catchy pop rock/pop punk. It's so awesome when you listen to something and every note played or sung is just right! When I played this for the first time, I was like.. "yeah, that's it, please continue doing this right". Indeed, it seems that every Diamond song is a ball of punky, mellow fuzziness. I have a soft spot for this kind of music since a looong time, and I've realized that every few years another crucial band will pop up to drop a majorly important record. I'm psyched to have discovered Diamond at an early stage in their career!
