Let's play a game where we list pretentious assholes in punk rock who go by their middle names.

Oh, that's right, there's only one. What a fucking jerk.

i missed that one in detroit but i saw saves the day and trio with hot rod circuit and dashboard the year after the face to face tour. then saw the whole tour again a week later at krazyfest.

now that i think about it, that tour was in 2001 so wasn't the face to face tour 2000?

Find a date. By rule, you have to have sex on prom night. Go to prom, do your slow dance, go to the parking lot of the venue, have sex in the backseat, go to the show, then go party with all the people you went to prom with.

It's possible. Because I lived that dream of a night. Except it was the Swellers and Near Miss I believe.

But look at all the other influences as well. Alk3 would be Alk3 (maybe even better) without Jawbreaker.

heh Brian Fallon mentions and quotes Jawbreaker in an interview. Plus his previous bands are pretty much in the Jawbreaker style.

But hey, what am I rambling about. I'm not so big on Jawbreaker myself.

However you left out Nightmare of You, also appearing on the bill.....who happen to be amazing, in my opinion atleast....though maybe not the typical .org band......I feel they are worth noting. Brandon Reilly is great (as was his other band, The Movielife) and so is his brother, Travis (This is Hell).
