Bands like that are so far removed from punk that I don't think you can accurately describe them as "pop-punk".  I mean, I'll accept even Blink-182 and New Found Glory as being pop-punk bands, but there's got to be a line SOMEwhere, right?

Also, The Nation of Ulysses is awesome.

I'm not sure how much I liked the vocals in this song, kind of like Geoff Rickly without the annoying vocal tics. The music itself was pretty good, and the noise section in the middle of the song was really rad. All in all, this song didn't suck, that's for sure.

Didn't really like this band. They just sounded pretty generic alt-rock to me. It definitely could have been a lot worse though.

I kind of liked the guy's screamy voice. The music, unfortunately, still sounded (to me at least) like every other "emo"/"post-hardcore" band I've heard. At the very least, they kicked the living shit out of Alesana. Man, it's going to be hard to top Alesana in unbearaboribillity, that is for sure.

Not eating my words yet... but it's a good start.
