Common Rider.

[Jessizzle]

Common Rider unites ex-Operation Ivy lead singer Jesse Michaels (also on guitar) with a rhythm section of bassist Mas Giorgini (formerly of Squirtgun) and drummer Dan Lumley (Screeching Weasel).

I really like this ska punk band, I re-fell in love with them recently, and cant get enough. I have "This is unity music" on soulseek ( PaintJessGreen) And would recommend it to anyone.

[comptonassrobert]

Meh, I've heard a couple songs and they are decent, but nothing special.

Classics of Love was a decent song though, if not cheesy. The faster vocals were pretty cool.

[Liebensaft]

I like Common Rider quite a bit. I'll try and find links to any of their songs.

I have This is Unity Music and their split with Against All Authority (I have the AAA half too) on Soulseek. My name's the same as here.

[Liebensaft]

Ok, I found a song.

Click here to listen to "Small Pebble" from the albumThis is Unity Music. (http://www.downloadpunk.com/?action=website.DownloadFreeSong&id=1213)

[Gnarmageddon]

I love Common Rider. I have Last Wave Rockers, This Is Unity Music, and Thief in a Sleeping Town.

[comptonassrobert]

Is anybody willing to send me one of their cds at comptonassrobert@yahoo.com?

psp.sp.s Jess do you by chance play trumpet?

[lpsoxfan88]

Common Rider is (was) awesome. I cannot get sick of them.

[Flagjacket]

On Broadway is their best song.

[Brain Toad]

They were the only band that spawned out of Op Ivy that don't suck.

[Zion Gates]

i had a c-d, but then i sold it...not a big fan

[Jessizzle]

Small Pebble would be my favourite song at the moment

[Gnarmageddon]

On Broadway is their best song.
I enjoy Signal, Signal.

[AndreTheHyena]

"Carry On" rules, and then they broke up. Ha!

[Liebensaft]

They were the only band that spawned out of Op Ivy that don't suck.
You forgot Rancid. They don't suck. They just aren't that good.

[AndreTheHyena]

That was his point. It's way cool to hate Rancid.

[Liebensaft]

Oh yeah. Nick's trendy.

[Brain Toad]

That was his point. It's way cool to hate Rancid.

Except I hated them before it was cool.

[echos]

I have the Common Rider/AAA split..it's pretty good, I put a couple Common Rider songs on a tape for my friend:)

[AndreTheHyena]

Except I hated them before it was cool.

This is me showing you my butthole, with disdain: X

[Anarcho Poser]

I love them intensely.

[fatwreckpunk]

last wave rockers is amazing, i bought it the other day and have just been listenign to it constantly. Favourite song is Angels At Play. Class

[AIRIC]

Meh, there's something about Common Rider I don't really like even though they came from awesome bands (anything from SW is amazing)

And nick nack heart attack, Rancid don't suck.

[Liebensaft]

Jess, the new avatar is fantabulous.

[Iron Bug]

Agreed.

[blackflagfiend]

common rider is what rancid shouldve been

[AIRIC]

No because:

Rancid > Common Rider

[lpsoxfan88]

No because:

Rancid > Common Rider
HERESY

[pedro durruti]

Heresy indeed

[Ghostfire3]

I have This Is Unity Music. I like it. 'Nuff said.

[Anti-Prefix]

I listened to Rancid once in 7th grade. I didn't like the particular song. I don't know, I've never thought highly enough of Rancid to download their stuff.

[ThisUserIsAPipebomb]

I have This is Unity Music and their split with AAA.

They are great. I like them more than Rancid but less than Op Ivy.

[DaveToopes]

Common Rider are decent I guess, I don't listen to them much.

[Henrik]

And out come the wolves>>>Common Rider.

[Arucard]

I heard one song on a Hopelessly Devoted To You record, and it was pretty groovy. Quite poppy, but i enjoyed it. I'd like to hear more.

I think it was 'Where The Waves Are Highest.'

[Buzzbomb]

Common Rider are goodness.

[lynch_me]

Last wave rockers is way better than this is unity music.

[AndreTheHyena]

Heresy indeed

Y'all are bitchasses.

[big eskimo pimpin]

I've recently fallen in love with them. Fav song is angels at play.

[DaveToopes]

Did "Deep Spring" ever get really popular? The first time that I listened to that album, I knew I had heard the song before, but had no idea where.

[non sequitor]

rancid are good, common rider are better

Last wave rockers is way better than this is unity music.
i agree

[(r)evolution]

I listened to Rancid once in 7th grade. I didn't like the particular song. I don't know, I've never thought highly enough of Rancid to download their stuff.

download rancid's 2000 record. It's a fantastic album. Anyone who says otherwise is trying to be cool.

[lpsoxfan88]

To be honest with you, out of the four Rancid albums I've heard, that ranks third at best (better than Indestructable...?). And Out Come the Wolves and Life Won't Wait are superior, in my not-so-humble opinion.

[AndreTheHyena]

I kinda agree with the above statement. For straight-up punk rock, Let's Go is far superior than 2000. Don't get me wrong, I love 2000, it's just that some of the songs sound a little forced.

[Weezerfan_returns]

I've never listened to common rider, i should probably check them out.

[Buzzbomb]

You should, they sound like a very mellow Operation Ivy.

[Jessizzle]

Iv noticed alot of their songs sound the same.

[captain_guitarist]

pretty damn good band, not a big fan though, op ivy > common rider

[Skidmark Steve]

download rancid's 2000 record. It's a fantastic album. Anyone who says otherwise is trying to be cool.
I havent heard much of 2000, but out of the 4 albums I have...

...AOCTW > Rancid 93' > Lets Go! > Indestructible

[fatwreckpunk]

Rancid 2000 is an awesome album and is so different for rancid but in a good /respectable way. Go buy it ...

[KingOfSka]

Common Rider is good. It's pretty laid back music. I love Carry On.

[Flagjacket]

I still say On Broadway is their best.

[fatwreckpunk]

Last wave rockers is such a strong album, Its grown on me so much in the last month
