Love Brock must listen now!
Liar.

Lake of the Wood is really good!

I was hoping it was the Justin Brown I went to high school with. Unfortunately not.

The Outbreaks EP was recorded and produced by Brian Zieske (The Hush Sound - So Sudden, The Academy Is... - EP) @ the Gallery of Carpet Recording Studio, Villa Park, Il.

I dig Band of Beards.

Justin Brown's RIYL is intriguing.

Oh man, my compilation was included! Thats awesome! If you love pop punk, then definitely check out the "AAAHH!!! Real Pop Punk" compilation I did! Huge thanks to twitter.com/poppunkwayo for submitting it for me!

Totally digging The Real EP.

Like Pacific is the freakin' best.

everybody should check out jacob robinson and lydia ellison's cover of make you smile
