RIP Fireworks and The Swellers. Might need to jam Oh, Common Life and Good For Me on repeat until The Menz finally stream this baby.
At least Swellers went out with a pure fuckin bang(er). That flint comp song was straight up one of the best in their discography imo. Perfect ending to the band's career. Fireworks I was so gutted by because it just feels like they have so much more to give - OCL felt like it was leading to something. Basically just need more Fireworks albums tbh at least 5 gimme pls
Exactly how I feel too. I always liked them before, but that album made them one of my favorite bands.
Completely agree. What a song! I was expecting one final Swellers show/benefit for Flint since they never played a final hometown show and once they released the song I really thought it would happen and was bummed out haha
This guy is from Michigan and can confirm it is a cool place. Our governor is terrible and our winters take up a third of the year but I still think the good outweighs the bad. I'm still bummed I missed The Swellers final show here, and never saw Fireworks. I've never seen The Menzingers either, for that matter.
Please go see the Menzingers on this upcoming run. That is your homework assignment. It's really the best kind of homework to be assigned.
I'm coming up for that show I think. Magic Stick is one of my all time favorite venues and that show is going to be fucking awesome there
Do yourself a favour and listen to hold on dodge through to rented world and hope you love every second of it
I'm drinking all the beers while I'm out and wishing I was listening to menzingers, had a massive every time I die session before we came out so that's alright I guess
