#5: You, Me, and...



You, Me, and Everyone We Know... The Band

Why It's Embarrassing: Just look at them! Jesus Christmas. Admitting to liking a band that looks like that is like saying, "Yeah, hey, I am a 16 year old girl". As you may have guessed, they play shitty popular pop punk that has consumed the radio and the MTV generation and that isn't very cool. Also, they stole their name from the movie Me and You and Everyone We Know and got the name wrong. Wow. Just wow.

Why It's Awesome: The band is kind of DIY, which is bizarre in the current state of pop punk. Both of their EPs are available for free off their myspace, their latest coming out today (hence this blog), and ya know what? I like it. There is enough going on throughout the songs that keep my mind from wondering. The lyrics are pretty relentless and angry and about booze enough that I find myself singing along a lot. They're pretty good. Go download their stuff.

Guilt Level: 6/10. Some would debate more. Some won't understand the guilt at all. Safe six it is.
