cqnaes (May 25, 2011)

this post for the new video just creeps me out though... not sure how i feel about the look on his face...

i feel comforted yet afraid of the future.

bouncingcoles (May 25, 2011)

Props to my boyz int the swell hairs

jimmynorville (May 25, 2011)

I think they owe me a cover of that one song that I assume was also called "Best I Ever Had"

jimmynorville (May 25, 2011)

also, if you're mentioning your mom and dad in a song about getting laid, you're doing it wrong

LowTockRock (May 26, 2011)

I'll assume since its the Org that you're being sarcastic...but just in case. The songs not about getting laid.

gregrussian (May 25, 2011)

I'm surprised these guys made it so far, they're fun but so average.

whoostin (May 25, 2011)

cheese

punkcdsampler (May 25, 2011)

Does this song say anything about how 9/11 was an inside job?

NobleStabbings (May 25, 2011)

That's a sweet preview picture for the video, haha

Cheesetits (May 25, 2011)

Digging the song, it's already better than anything off their last album.

SydBarrett420 (May 25, 2011)

I feel the exact opposite, this song sounds really generic compared to their last album.

boy_eats_world (May 25, 2011)

I miss the shredding

drugmoney (May 25, 2011)

i didn't like ups and downsizing, ended up giving it away to an ex that liked it. i thought it was shit.....just saying

spoon_of_grimbo (May 25, 2011)

i fucking love everything i've heard from these guys, can't wait for my pre-order to arrive. ups and downsizing hasn't left my car stereo in weeks!

trmur08 (May 25, 2011)

I hate this site because of all the bitchy comments on all EVERY page. If you guys hate every band here why would you read about them?

TheDancingMachine (May 25, 2011)

If you hate the comments, why do you read them?

bastard_squad (May 25, 2011)

You are new here aren't you?

Cheesetits (May 25, 2011)

Fact.

mystereohasmono (May 25, 2011)

hahaha

oldpunkerforever (May 26, 2011)

welcome to Punknews, its what we do-oldpunker-

facetofacereunion08 (May 25, 2011)

I like it...

drunkwithpower (May 25, 2011)

I saw these guy once and they were really stellar, but this song is sooooo cheesy

mystereohasmono (May 25, 2011)

I remember back then thinking
easy comes but doesn't stay, what
comes easy never stays
but the politics need means
and business never leaves
you better sing now while you can

Imitate and water down
selection breathes on its own
til we crash I'll write it out
selection breathes on its own
make them open the request
line and let selection kill
the old
take back the radio

skolarx (May 25, 2011)

i like it. funny how close new albums from the swellers and fireworks have gotten released again.

their show together in Detroit last fall was one of the best ones i went to all year

martinNZ09 (May 26, 2011)

Best you've ever had?

ugay (May 25, 2011)

this song is good but borderline cheesy

dX927 (May 26, 2011)

if Happy Days took place in modern times, this would be Richie, Potsie, and Ralph's band.

kentspaz (May 26, 2011)

So good. Gotta get me this record when it's out.

detachedretina (May 26, 2011)

This band gets my respect for sleeping in a wal-mart. Unless that was some kind of punk rock secret trick that they blew.

dethrock (May 26, 2011)

I still listen to "Beginning Of The End Again," on a regular basis. It's too bad they went this new route because they used to be really good.
