Man these are some bad band names.

Fans of pop punk. Grand Theft Autumn has a new song up featuring AJ Perdomo from The Dangerous Summer. http://www.facebook.com/pages/Grand-Theft-Autumn/374395689256475?sk=app_178091127385 check it out

Aj Perdomo is the new Mark Hoppus. It's seems like everyone has him on a guest vocal.

That was the first thought that came to my mind. I haven't heard any of them yet, hopefully their sounds make up for that.

Someone should get the new Van Halen record and review it.

Hey guys, I'm in zombie western...if you like Russian circles or explosions in the sky, I think you'll like my band. Thanks in advance for taking the time to listen

I, the Giant here. We sound similar to brand new, mainly the devil and god album. Other people have compared us to mewithoutYou, cursive, and a heavier version of modest mouse (although I don't agree with that).

I can't express how badly we need an album review. It's been a year since the release of the album and I'm just now starting to do promo for it. I would be forever thankful if someone would review us.

TLDR: We sound like brand new and because I'm lazy, I'm begging for an album review a year after its release.

Hey I listened to your stuff. It is pretty good. The music is very much like you describe and I think your vocals are where the modest mouse comparisons are most appropriate, in my opinion. Keep up the good work.

Thanks for the shout Ryan. I hope everyone checks out and likes the tunes. :) Mark-The Lion Faced Boy
