Send in Child Protective Services.

This band just crushes everything. 

Go buy everything they’ve released and go see them every chance you get.

Just the right amount of hardcore and Rocket From the Crypt with hints of cock rock.

In light of that, I’m going to spend the rest of the year highlighting our scriptures.

Originally Kelly Clarkson

A second Kelly Clarkson cover? I didn’t see that coming.

I like this song, but it’s not as good as the band’s cover of “Once Upon A Time” by Robert Bradley’s Blackwater Surprise. But I already posted that in February, so here we are, with the silver medal winner.

Second place or not, this is still a great cover that sounds and feels so much different than the original.

I bought their first album at some point in 2006/7 because No Idea was selling it for $2. I listened, thought it was ok, then forgot about it. 

Dumb. 

This is from the band’s second album, and if I had been paying any attention, Glass and Ashes would have been one of my favorite bands.

Members went on to be in Young Livers, who also broke up after 2 albums.
