Anyone know much about this band. Love their new song help me, but haven't heard anything else by them. Are they worth checking into?

    I grew up with a lot of punk influenced friends, as do I like punk myself. A bunch of people I know are into this band, but honestly I've never cared to give them a shot...but from what I know they can definitely win some people over..

    Great, catchy pop-punk songs about heartbreak, in a nutshell :)

    I got all of their albums from a friend who is obsessed but only really like their earlier stuff, give or take a few songs.

    Check out the albums Goddamnit it and Maybe I'll Catch Fire.

    These are probably my favourite songs:

    Keep 'em Coming and The Poison are as catchy as they come.

    My qoute is from an Alkaline Trio song, Blue Carolina. Excellent band, This Could Be Love is an awesome song.
    All my favourite singers have stolen all of my best lines.

    Nah, their early stuff is perfect pop punk. Not big, not clever, just well written pop songs.

    They have some great songs. A very decent band. That being said, they are very dull live.
    It makes much more sense to live in the present tense.
