Lifetime

Lately I've been listening to a lot of worship music. But I've also had my Pandora station on, too, as you can see below, and I have Lifetime as a radio station. They used to be my favorite band for about a year or so. They're still up there! They combine what I love about punk--the rebellion, the speed, the simplicity--with what I love about emo--the passion, the dynamics, and the simplicity, too. And there's some sweet pop punkness to it all on top of that. Seriously, they just rule super hard and you should get into them if you haven't already. This video for "Airport Monday Morning" is their only music video period and it captures a typical New Jersey basement show (though I've never been to one...perhaps one day...shoot, hopefully I'll get to play one!) It's from their self-titled full length, after they signed to Fueled By Ramen. P.S. Their signing to that label was a big deal. Older punk bands don't typically do that, let alone on a label where the head of it, Pete Wentz, is a major fan. All the more punk rock!
