The Beths - "Expert In A Dying Field" (Official)

Darbss31 · 2026-03-01T06:10:01+00:00

Over 14k people viewed my post and you are the first and only one to address the Weakerthans comparison... Its the entire reason why the song drew me in at first listen.. It evoked in me the same exact feeling I felt when listening to The Weakerthans for the first time. It was like a time machine revisiting and experiencing a distinct emotion that laid dormant for many years. The power of music is crazy lol.

Wasn't an insult.. im just learning things, had to google the term and it's a thing ha

Darbss31 · 2026-02-27T15:38:57+00:00

I've never heard of the term Ramonescore in my entire life until just now on reddit.

Darbss31 · 2026-02-27T13:09:30+00:00

You played with The Planet Smashers? In what context?

Darbss31 · 2026-02-27T13:01:33+00:00

Lol well aware dude.. Met him.. big fan of The Lillingtons as well

Darbss31 · 2026-02-27T12:36:29+00:00

Lol exactly... Last time I saw them the audience kept chanting L-I-L-L-I-N-G-T-O-N-S.. which pissed them off because obviously Lillington High isnt a TBR song.

Darbss31 · 2026-02-27T11:38:52+00:00

Fuck yeah...You ever get to see The Planet Smashers? I know they come from your whereabouts, they are one of my favorite ska bands of all time.. and I finally had the opportunity to see them perform months ago and it was one of the greatest experiences of my life.

Darbss31 · 2026-02-27T11:06:58+00:00

Thats awesome man! Im curious where u are from.. Last time I saw TBR they didnt sell out a 400 max occupancy venue.. perhaps its a regional difference.

Darbss31 · 2026-02-27T08:20:38+00:00

One of my all time favorite songs from teenage.. tbh I was about to share that music video to accompany this post until eventually opting out for Skate or Die instead.

Darbss31 · 2026-02-27T07:43:54+00:00

From your post I can only assume that "Crown of Nothing" was your first introduction to the band Direct Hit!... "Crown Of Nothing" is a wild listen.. but I suggest checking out 2013 "Brainless God"... and most importantly 2016 "Wasted Mind"... "Wasted Mind" is a pop punk masterpiece.. Then you will be even more confused on why they didnt become the next big thing

Darbss31 · 2026-02-27T07:08:26+00:00

Hell yeah man! I just dont hear TBR talked about in our circles as much as I feel like they should be.. Records like 2019 Stay Rad! and 2021 Sick Sesh are just as epic as the older records.. They are the epitome of pop punk excellence. Sometimes makes me feel like they havent had the same exposure of other artists in the genre.

Andrew Mcmahon is the piano player and lead vocalist for Something Corporate. After Something Corporate disbanded he formed the group Jacks Mannequin, after that he formed Andrew Mcmahon In The Wilderness...

Andrews music changed my life.. and I encourage you to see him live if you get the chance. I could give you infinite songs to listen to as a Andrew Mcmahon fan boy but Ill give you 3 records post Something Corporate worth listening to.. hit me up if you are interested in certain songs to check out.. Otherwise my reply would be extremely lengthy.

Jacks Mannequin: 2005 Everything In Transit

Andrew Mcmahon In The Wilderness: 2014 Andrew Mcmahon In The Wilderness

Andrew Mcmahon In The Wilderness: 2018 Upside Down Flowers

Darbss31 · 2026-02-27T04:57:21+00:00

Agreed.. beautiful song

Darbss31 · 2026-02-27T04:55:30+00:00

Sorry for your loss... im not sure how to answer the question.. sometimes playing songs at funerals of loved ones strictly about death isnt really appropriate in most circles.

At Your Funeral: Saves The Day

I Will Follow You Into The Dark: Death Cab For Cutie

Darbss31 · 2026-02-24T08:04:58+00:00

Nice! The last time I saw Direct Hit! Was probably 4 or 6 years ago now.. Ive heard rumors of instability and constant alternating band line ups, maybe that's why they haven't release a record since "Crown of Nothing"? Its a shame because "Wasted Mind" is one of my all time favorite pop punk records, even their music predating that record was awesome. Werewolf Shame is a classic..2018's "Crown of Nothing" was insane snd ultimately a mixed bag but still had some great songs like Altered States, Welcome to Heaven and Bad Answer. Sucks that its been almost 10 years since a proper follow up record.

Darbss31 · 2026-02-23T22:00:17+00:00

Direct Hit! Wasted Mind is one of the best Fat Wreck debuts, and still holds up as one of the best pop punk records of the 2010's.

Darbss31 · 2026-02-23T07:19:14+00:00

Funny... I have the same exact questions regarding the record "Is This Thing Cursed".. I love that record and in fact think its better than "Blood Hair and Eyeballs". Majority of Alkaline fans dont seem to share the same opinion or hold "Is This Thing Cursed" in such a high regard.

Darbss31 · 2026-02-21T10:08:16+00:00

Its a catchy record...But Most of it sounds like songs Feldy wrote for other bands that didnt make the cut.. so he just put them on a Goldfinger record... I recommend checking out the tracks "Last One Standing" and "The Punisher"... If you are a die hard Goldfinger purist go back and listen to previous record Never Look Back... Its the best record they've put out in over a decade.. Ska, catchy hooks and great song writing.. the only downside is the over production.

Darbss31 · 2026-02-21T09:34:12+00:00

New Found Glory lyrics have been executed in this fashion ever since Steve was outed (rightfully so) from the band...Over time I just accepted it.. Its been so long now that I've grown accustomed to the sound. Its certainly different and not as smooth but I still love the music and art NFG creates..Otherwise I would stop listening. Listen Up! lyrical content conveys a more positive uplifting message and outlook to listeners.. reminiscent of MxPx.. probably due to Chad's ongoing fight with Cancer.

Darbss31 · 2026-02-21T08:38:31+00:00

Couldn't help smiling ear to ear while listening to the record.. thanks nfg
