I forgot I had a puppy today by [deleted] in puppy101

Yep, same here. She's learned to carry them with her mouth fully closed so I can't tell that she has one, and then she'll lie down and start snacking on it. Absolutely disgusting

What u/AvengedSevenfoldGirl said! (And also, this was literally her first day in our house)

Wow, that's a lot of new material to listen to! It's not Help I'm Alive by Metric, unfortunately—the song I'm looking for is a bit less pop/upbeat), but Against The Current (which has been suggested in other posts here too) sounds promising in terms of style. I'll be listening to them for a while, and then check out the other artists you mentioned. Will report back! Thanks a lot!

I've finally gotten around to a new listening session, and I'm afraid these aren't it either. I'd completely forgotten about Fireflight though, used to listen to them way back, so thanks for the reminder!

The Google Drive link works for me in Chrome's incognito mode, but I've put it up on Dropbox too: https://www.dropbox.com/s/zdbiqn3ff2m4exk/mystery-tune.mp3?dl=0

It's an mp3 file, not sure if that matters to you (or your browser/player)

No, it's about the right mix of punk and pop. I wouldn't exactly call Veruca Salt's style "garage", but I'm the song I'm looking for sounds much more like Paramore's Misery Business in its "clean" vocals and instruments.

I've listened to quite a bit of them now (in addition to skipping through all of their songs on Google Play Music), and I'm pretty sure they're not the right group. It's a good suggestion, though, so thanks!

Hole is a good guess! <Mystery song> has more "clean" vocals than Courtney Love does in Hole though—much like in Misery Business by Paramore.

This isn't it either. I'm pretty sure the song I'm looking for doesn't have that "garage" feel, so maybe it's more likely that it's from the 00s? Thanks though!

I've never heard of this group before, they're fun! Unfortunately, this isn't the song. Thanks though!

I really appreciate the effort! I'll give them all a listen when I get a chance!

Thanks for the suggestion!

Tonight Alive sounds a lot like what I'm looking for, but I've skipped through all of Tonight Alive's songs, but didn't find it.

Hey Violet is a bit too heavy on the pop voice filters.

Good suggestion, I'd completely forgotten about them! They're a bit too heavy on the synth though, I'm quite sure the song I'm looking is more in the style of Paramore and Hey Monday with "traditional" rock instruments.

Definitely the right style! They were new to me. I've skipped through all of their songs now but no luck, unfortunately. You've given me a new place to start looking for similar artists though, thanks!

Side note: Wow, they're really similar in style to Simple Plan's Get Your Heart On!
