I was introduced to punk by a roommate back in 1995. He was in a South Carolina punk bank called Catch 22. He started me out in some of the punk pioneers such as The Misfits and Sid Vicious.
As his taste changed while punk music was evolving, he exposed me to some awesome sounds such as Garden Variety, (early) Green Day, Screeching Weasel, Rancid so forth and so on.
Of all the punk bands he introduced me to, there was one that was simply some of the most amazing punk I'd ever heard. I've been itching to hear this band again, but I cannot remember their name. All I know is that they are clearly pop punk. I viewed the list of pop punk bands on wikipedia, but none of them rang a bell. Perhaps they never took their music above the underground...however, I can remember a few lyrics from some of their songs. Perhaps if I write the lyrics, some poster in this forum will recognize who this band is and point me in the direction of tracking down some of their stuff...
Well, here are some of their lyrics...
"I feel sinking on the rise, elevation from your eyes. My son how could you ever know?"
"Playing in the backyard wishing I could forget, running through the sprinklers until I'm soaking wet."
"Whatever happened to me and my white trash friends? They got sick of me and I got tired of them."
"A mirror image of a silver sky. Bread and wine and turpentine built this country to the sky."
“I can see that clearly now every time I look into that mirror image of a silver sky.”
"Itsy bitsy spider sat down beside her and whispered in her ear."
I know this is a bit random. All of these lyrics are from one album. If any of this rings a bell...please help!
Thanks.
