Oh my god, Lagwagon, Blink AND Pulley. That’s a lineup, I could go on about Pulley for days too - class act 

I've never even listened to them.

Did he actually OD? I thought it was a heart attack?

official CoD was heart failure. but yes it was due to OD'ing. which was due to clinical depression.

oh fuck dude, pulley is BOSS. one for the ages. top-flight epi-fat sound. that's where riddle went off to play when he left face to face. and where radinsky fled to after leaving ten foot pole...

 

[Speedo]

I'll give them a go.

They would be right up your street Speedo. Looks like Davey has you covered. I’d add Silver Tongued Devil, One Shot and Gone on top of that current song list. 
 

Im still digesting Blaze as we speak - Dividers and Baggage really sticking out to me so far. E Dagger / Never Stops catchy as fuck too 

@daveyjones  man they’re SO sick. Glad to see some love here for them. Matt Riddle seems like a dude too. 

There was a video of Mark and Tom singing One Shot on a tour bus back in the day , and that’s what got me into them.

I'll add then to the list!

I can't think of a single song on that album that doesn't fucking hit hard.

I gotta say, this board has in part made my fucking lockdown. None of my mates are big into skate punk / punk rock/ this scene.  A few really like blink but that’s as far as it goes ( I did manage to drag one to a Jawbreaker show a year back  ! ).  To go in depth about these bands with you folks on here is class. Idk, gotta be said

i first saw them in support of 60 cycle hum on the SOMA sidestage opening for strung out.

then several times since. i think the last time was in support of matters.

Lets talk about feeling is one of my favorite records of all time. Definately in my top 5.

Absolute masterpiece. I always wondered why nobody mentions that record when it comes to lagwagon?

the caper himself says it's the band's best one.

The incestuous, lesbian daughters of a merciful God.

let's remember, The Caper (Holy and Wise is His Name) was advocating for the rights of our gay brothers and sisters all the way back in '94 with "island of shame" !

This is a great version of this song, his songs translate really well into different styles and I'm always kind of wondering which version comes first. 

The acoustic versions of Violins and I Must Be Hateful are great too!

Even the demos sound great ... the original Dividers is kind of bad ass, wonder why they didn't keep it.

That’s a show I would’ve loved to see simply because Jordan Burns played in both bands. Another epic drummer. He’s mentioned in interviews how he’d pull double duty back then when Pulley and SO would tour together.

his liverbirds work is well after the fact (2010).
