I remember getting "Bleed American" right before 9/11 on vinyl at Vintage Vinyl (they broke street date), and then they had to take the title "Bleed American" off the album because they thought it was gonna be offensive.

Knapsack and Six Going on Seven were pretty influential and I was always a big fan of Texas is The Reason. "Your Favorite Weapon" was pretty damned good to. And Taking Back Sundays' "Tell All Your Friends" and "Where You Want to Be"? Pretty damned classic, alongside Thursdays' "Full Collapse", which might be one of

Ditto to the New Found Glory comment.

Radio Depts "Clinging to a Scheme" and the Wild Nothings. The new Hammock is epic. If you don't have the last "Tears Run Rings" album, you're missing out. Try finding anything by "Moscow Olympics" (I think they have one CD out). Oh, and check out Tonevendor.com for all your showgaze and dreampop needs. FYI:

"Four Minute Mile" was fantastic, but for when I heard "Red Letter Day" and the "Woodson" EP, it's like something just clicked and I knew that this band had found the right sound for them.

Wasn't this shitty band…
in a commercial with "Erine eSurance"?

You know what?
Their best song is "No Sensitivity". "Clarity" is a sick album too; too bad half the late 90's bands wound up ripping off what they did.
