The Menzingers - After the Party (February 3, 2017) Album • Page 121

Yeah, thats where this all started for me. I don't think I would've truly appreciateed this style of Northeast storytelling punk if I hadn't been introduced to the Souls as a kid. Legends.

 

I wish the Swellers would come back fack. Put them on a tour with these guys haha

 

Yep I would definitely say Bouncing Souls and Less Than Jake are the two bands most responsible for kicking everything off for me

 

The Souls are great (probably my favorite punk band), but I've never really gotten the "Americana" or folk inspired lyrics from them. Like, their lyrics don't scream Springsteen, Mark Knopfler, or Johnny Cash fan to me (with the vivid imagery) even though they probably dig those guys. I guess I sort of see it more in their later material, but I've just never have identified them that way.

 

Apparently Nick's new band was playing in Chicago the other night downstairs from the Touché Amore/Single Mom's show. Would have went if not for that

 

Anything on red scare, but elway and success for starters

 

He has a new band? What's it called? I'll have to check it out.

 

The Menzingers announce shows with Tigers Jaw, Worriers & The Flatliners

Damn I wish I still lived in jersey

 

Very familiar!
Wil Wagner grew up 10 minutes down the road from where I did haha

 

Thanks for the recommendations everyone!

 

Gonna do a Menzies album during my club tomorrow. CW or OTIP?

 

Hmm they’d probably get into OTIP more but they’re probably less likely to listen to CW if you start with that. So I’d say go with CW.

 

OTIP

 

CW the arc they have starting with that one is incredible. I started with OTIP but kinda wish I started with CW

 

OTIP 100%, because it's their best and if they can get through the first two tracks without being hooked, then there is no hope.

 

Living Ain’t Easy is a great fall song

 

Picked up a 7" of Hold On, Dodge at Amoeba for $8 and then saw that it is going for $40 on Discogs

 

My mom just bought me tickets to see these guys with Tigers Jaw in November and I am EXCITED

 

Officially going to the holiday show next month!

Very stoked

 

Seeing them for the first time next thursday and pummpeddd

 

anybody going tonight?

 

As always to every Menz show, in spirit

 

I want to but most likely not :(

 

How is it still 3 months until I'm seeing them
