Blink 182

I think this is my all time favorite band.  Although they have a different style of music as to what I like to listen to now, they are my inspiration for music.  I have been listening to them since probably elementary school.  Even though they broke up for a few years, they got back together. Sadly, they only did one summer tour last year, which I didn't get to go to, and now they haven't been doing much in the ways of making a new album.  I think if I got to see them live, I'd be pretty damn happy.  I love pretty much every song they have put out.  They're pretty awesome.  Never gonna dislike them, I promise that.

Sum 41

So this band is one that I don't listen to too much, but I love them.  They're fast pace, and they're lyrics are pretty funny.  I'm so glad I got the opportunity to see them live this year.  They finally played at Warped Tour, and I was so psyched at the time.  I mostly like their older stuff that they put out, opposed to the newer albums.  Their newer stuff just isn't quite as good in my opinion.  Although I do like some of the newer stuff they have out, it just doesn't compare to what they started with.

Yellowcard

This band goes way back.  I'm not quite sure when I first started listening to them.  Alls I know is that 'Ocean Avenue' was the first album I have heard by them, and the only one that I really like.  I was absolutely in love with that CD back then.  Every now and then nowadays I'll throw the CD on in the car.  I still love them, and the fact that they uniquely use an electric violin in the band.  I think it's pretty cool, and different.

The Used

This is one of the bands I've known about for a longer time.  I found out about these guys back in middle school towards when they first put out an album.  My friend showed me one of their music videos, and I immediately fell in love with the band.  Ever since, I've been getting their albums that have been coming out, and even though their music has been changing a lot, I still love them, and always will.  I remember when I used to play the guitar I learned how to play one of my favorite songs by them, 'I Caught fire'.  I will always love that song.

A Skylit Drive

I'm pretty sure I heard about this band during my freshman year of high school.  I was pretty addicted to them for a good amount of time, probably over a year.  I still like them nowadays, just not near as much as I did then. As of now it's an every now and then type of thing, like maybe when they come up on shuffle on my ipod or something.  They just don't appeal to me quite as much as they used to.  I did, though, get to see them live twice in the past.  I do have to say, they are pretty fun to see in person.  They're a really good band, just not as much my style now.

Taking Back Sunday

So for years now, since around the time I started to play the guitar (I don't still play now), I have been listening to TBS. I'm not a huge fan, but I do like their music.  I honestly haven't listened to them much in years, but I still love their old music.  Compared to the old stuff they put out, their newer album, in my opinion, isn't that good at all.  It just doesn't sound like them, or at least what I like to think they sound like. Even though I don't listen to them as much as I used to, back in middle school and early high school, I will still always have them on my iPod as something to listen to every now and then.  My favorite song by them will always be 'Cute without the E'.  It's pretty much what got me hooked.

Miss May I

I've only been listening to this band for about a week now.  With that said, I'm hooked.  The clean vocalist in this band is amazing.  I love the sound and the effects he uses, as well as the screamer.  Most would think the screamer sounds just like every other screamer in the music industry, but I hear a uniqueness.  I like the band's music a lot, and can't seem to stop listening to them this past week.  I really hope to see them live soon, just like what I hope to do with every other band I listen to.  Hopefully this band, unlike others, stays fully together and keeps producing more albums and keeps getting better.

Senses Fail

So my first ever concert was back in middle school at the Deptford Mall right up the street from me.  One of the stores I like there, Zumiez, was doing a free skate show and concert out in the parking lot one day, and it happened to be both one of my favorite skate teams and at the time my favorite band, which was Senses Fail.  That day was the first day I had been in a crowd and it was overwhelming for me at the time.  I was getting thrown around and just wasn't used to it, but soon adapted to it.  I've been listening to this band ever since, and probably will for a long time.  They seem to keep coming out with new albums, and they just keep getting better.  Such a great band.
