Sweet! One of those songs that never got released as a single but became popular in the groups catalog. It's evidence that fans loved the whole c.d. rather than just the hits!

After hearing your material I definitely see the connection and that's a good combo to be influenced by Greg!

I great example of the poppy melodies mixed with dark subject matter is in the song " Semi Charmed Kinda Life," That song is their biggest commerical hit with one of the catchiest guitar riffs ever, but the song is about being on meth on.

Not so much! I think he's not a very dynamic vocalist but a good enough songwriter to hide his flaws which possibly explains why I never noticed!

Yeh, honestly all the material I've heard by them could have been performed better by All American Rejects or Blink or a pop punk band (I know that 3EB aren't really pop punk but I feel their music lends itself towards that style)
