    I never would have thought Alkaline Trio was a ‘pop punk’ band…

    My Chemical Romance - Helena

    plays: 49

    On Friday evening My Chemical Romance announced that the band would be breaking up.

    While I’ve never been a huge My Chemical Romance fan, I recognize the influence the band had in shaping the emo pop-punk music scene that came to define a whole generation of young music listeners (particularly my generation; I was 14 when MCR’s debut Three Cheers For Sweet Revenge released, and 16 when their mega-popular Welcome to the Black Parade hit store shelves). If nothing else, MCR’s disbanding is yet another instance of something that was very prominent during my youth disappearing…the culture and music scene I used to so identify with slowly eroding away (growing up sucks). 

    The above track, “Helena” off of Three Cheers, remains one of my favourite MCR songs. For those who have never heard it, enjoy, and for those who know every word, join me in taking a trip down memory lane.

    So yeah, I’ve been listening to a lot of old Used recently and I figured I’d share one of my favourites from the band.

    In honour of Sum 41 announcing that they’ll be playing a 10-year anniversary tour of 2002’s Does This Look Infected?

    If they can get Dave Baksh to join the band for the tour that just may be the greatest thing ever. It wouldn’t really feel right without him…

    The Joy Formidable - The Greatest Light Is the Greatest Shade

    plays: 19

    One of my favourite things about the music I enjoy is the nostalgia it can invoke. Right now, with the onset of the Fall and a new school year along with it I cannot help but be reminded of a band I was OBSESSED with a year ago…

    Green Day - “When I Come Around”

    Not really all that impressed with Green Day’s newest single (it’s just…boring and without feeling) so I decided to post a classic tune from the band’s best, 1994’s Dookie.
