New Release+Review: Dream Homes

Posted by Planetlost On July - 11 - 2009

Remember when pop-punk used to be good? I know it's hard, it's been a while but try to think back to when bands like Jawbreaker, Crimpshrine, and Green Day played punk rock that was meaningful, melodic, energetic, and full of emotion. Unfortunately for us two of those three bands are broken up and the other is trying to be U2, which leaves fans of real pop-punk with their old record collection and the thousands of carbon copy pop-punk bands that give their favorite genre a bad name.

Posted by Jay Riot Music Comments
