The Starting Line Band • Page 93

The song hit #21 on the US Modern Rock[2]chart in 2007 and is the band's only charting single on any Billboard chart.

 

Let’s goooo boys

 

Back half of Direction is wildly underrated.

 

And once more….all is aligned.

 

I remember hearing something from TSLs manager about their label at the time just did not want to get behind the band. They tested the song in some terrible rock market thinking it would fail and they could just move on from them. It backfired, and the song took off, but the label still refused to give them the resources needed for the band to really take off.

 

virgin records you flop…

 

Anxiously awaiting any and all represses

 

Late to the party but HOT DAMN! Fantastic news.

Time to go on a nice sunny walk and listen to Direction :)

 

I wonder if Yip is producing again?

 

Can’t wait to see what’s next!!

 

It’s been a while since I’ve listened to Direction (perhaps 2-3 years?) and man.. it still holds up very well. I used to think BOATS was their best record but now I’m not so sure?

 

I still think BOATS is their peak and they played it a little safer on Direction, but Direction grew a lot over time

 

My biggest problem with BOATS is there’s a lot of corny on it

 

Legitimately cannot imagine going 2-3 months without listening to this band

 

‘the world’ is the biggest problem with BOATS.

 

I personally think the biggest problem with BOATS is that they didn’t go with the Tim O’Heir version of Bedroom Talk and leaving off Classic Jazz/Lasting Impressions

 

I think it's the weakest song for sure, but Kenny's vocal conviction sells it for me, it's still a jam. If the chant was removed from the bridge I'd like it 20% more

 

Classic Jazz and Nights & Weekends would’ve made BOATS my #1 easily

 

I thinks BOATS is still my favorite. In the middle of a discog run, so I’ll see if that changes soon. That era just means a whole lot to me.

 

The full band Nights and Weekends. Chefs kiss

 

If they re-recorded Nights and Weekends for the fourth album I would not be upset

 

yeah nights and weekends is a top 5 starting line song for me.

 

How the heck am I hearing this for the first time. So good!!

 

This is the first time I’m hearing of a non-full band Nights & Weekends? Y’all aren’t talking about Lasting Impressions right
