Directed by the Endeavor Media Group (Bayside, Silverstein, Comeback Kid), the video perfectly showcases both the band’s high energy brand of powerpop and rollicking sense of fun, as we follow Marshall, Wil and the rest of the guys to school one day.

Coroner – Punishment for Decadence [ADB]

This tape is on Noise/Futurist records, and it was originally released in 1988. The lead singer sounds like Dave Mustaine (Megadeth) and Scott Ian (Anthrax) mixed together. The guitar riffs sound like the Air Guitar riffs from the Bill and Ted movies. The beginning of the tape is kinda boring, but the tape starts sounding a lot better during the middle. This was a great find at NRM in the…

By Divine Right – Bless This Mess [ADB]

It was released in 1999 on Nettwerk records, and it had 13 songs. It cost me nothing. They are Canadian power-pop with a 70’s feel, like Sloan.
