"And Now I'm Nothing" from Suburbia, especially since you mention drumming. The 6/8 beat with the snare on 2, 4, and 6 is anything but typical pop punk drumming.

I'll give it a listen. Thanks!

Yes yes yes, oh yes!

Right? Or the Latin influenced shuffle parts or in me vs highway when the guitars are in 5/4 and Kennedy is playing in 4/4 over them.

Gifs are perfect.

He's with Alex North.

Cool to see some technical talk in the thread. Posts like this need to happen more often.

And also, "And Now I'm Nothing" is my favorite song from TWY. Great guitar riffs (and of course drumming).

100% okay with this. Not that they need my approval or anything.

Get in, but a third major album isn't always a great thing (Set Your Goals, Four Year Strong, Man Overboard etc).

But to be fair, The Wonder Years are a much stronger and talented band than those three. Not saying they aren't good, but ya know.
