CALLING ALL CARS! CALLING ALL CARS!

We're starting the takeover with Four Year Strong's Rise or Die Trying. This record became the blueprint for the 'easycore' subgenre. Driven by the dual-vocals of Alan Day and Dan O'Connor, this album delivers those upbeat, heavy chugging hardcore breakdowns that wrecked us, and damn near killed us when it dropped in 2007! They are a must see at this summer's Warped Tour in Montreal.

So dust off the old multi-disc CD shelf stereo, queue up the album, and prepare to be digitally manipulated!

Up next on the Warped Tour lineup is Tallahassee, Florida's own Mayday Parade. They're at the front of the class, and today's subject is A Lesson In Romantics.

Not a whole lot we agree on with this one, but their debut album from 2007 is packed with hooks, heartbreak, and song titles that are somehow longer than some of the songs themselves.

Set your alarms for 6 o'clock, because it's time we discuss Alkaline Trio's debut album, Goddamnit! One of the latest additions to this year's Montreal Warped Tour, they've given us the perfect excuse to book a trip to the City of Festivals this summer. It may not be Halloween yet, but it's always Alky season.

Released in 1998 on Asian Man Records, Alkaline Trio gave us what many consider the greatest debut punk album ever made.

So, enjoy your day, enjoy the episode, and "don't forget to let your life rot you inside out"

Blood Pact for life.
