I am really beginning to dig Relient K a lot. So much more depth, musically and lyrically, than the typical Blink182 wannabe band.... at least in the three songs I've heard by them so far. This one's the best yet.

The term "Reliant K" brings back fond memories of my first car. (It was red, and my mother thought I was so stunning: a blonde in a red car. Um, mom, it's a Reliant K. *grin) I'll have to pick up a CD if I can find it. Thanks for the recommendation.

Just to be clear, they *are* a blink182-style new-punk pop band... just a very good one
and they are named for the car (which one of them used to own), but I guess had to mispell it for copyright reasons.

Although I have no idea what you just said in that first sentence, Jim-Me, I have to brag to kojabu: I had a free backstage passes to the Warped Tour last year.
(My stepdaughter was one of the breakdancers on tour with one of the sets, and I got to groove with her.)

that's the thing, I usually don't like them...
But I do like bits and pieces here and there: SR-71's "Right Now", Stroke 9's "Little Black Backpack", a few scattered Bowling for Soup songs, some Blink 182 and Boxcar Racer.
Sadly my favorite of those type bands, Lit, seems to have fallen quickly out of favor (must be the Carvin endorsement... for some reason that seems to be almost as effective as doing a James Bond theme to send you into obscurity)

I haven't heard the band yet, but I do like their lyrics. I struggle with forward motion a bit myself.

kojabu - I haven't tried them but am willing if I can ever find the time to start searching out new music again... Do you have any recommendations on where to start with Fall Out Boy?
CT - All three of the songs I've heard are from "Two Lefts Don't Make a Right, But Three Do" so perhaps that's a good album to start with. There's another one called "The Anatomy of Tongue in Cheek" in which all the song titles are puns... if that's your sort of thing
Tammy - We all struggle with forward motion, yes. *hug* I hope you're finding encouragement this morning.

I was wondering how long till someone asked that... thanks El JT for getting to it before I was too tempted to.
