Canadian Punk Band, I have been a fan for couple years now, I have all of their records.
Not that big in America for some reason.

One of their songs:

yeh i do , saw them at leeds festival in 2007 and at manchester academy in October last year, im a big fan of the guitarist Ian D'sa (not sure on spelling of his name). The ex is a great song really energetic.

Yeah, wanted to see them on their tour over here a few months back but had no money.

Love the first 2 albums, not managed to get the latest yet although like what I heard from it. very unimmaginative album titles thouigh...guess it beats making up a crap name.

Pins and Needles
Red Flag
DIAMM
Prisoners of Today
Nothing To Lose
Standing In The Rain
The Ex

My favourite...not many or any I dislike thinking about it.

yeah, i have one or two of their albums. sometimes i go thru phases where his voice really irritates me, but for the most part i do like em. i saw them open for rise against this summer, pretty good show.

Yeah I really like them. Got all their albums. The first is my favourite, second one is alright and their newest one is okay. The faster, louder, harder stuff from their first album is what I loved about them.

I saw them open up for Rise Against during the summer.
It was lots of fun cause my friends and I made sure to get there early to see em and it seemed like we were the only ones who knew their songs

Although they're pretty small in the states they're probably the biggest good rock band in Canada. They're doing a headlining arena tour in March in Canada

Guest

against me! is opening up for them in Canada.
I wish I could see that

Yeah their first album is awesome, second also good.

For some reason now I just have no drive to listen to them. I feel like I'm 20 years old and growing out of rock music!

I'm exactly the same way with this band. I got BT II from a friend in 2006, and I hated his voice, it grew on me to the point where I started to enjoy it then I would revert back to being agitated by his voice

This is how it goes, Red Flag, Devi In A Midnight Mass, Line and Sinker, Fallen Leaves, Try Honesty.

If you plan to download an album, I would recommend getting their live album 666
