Thank you! Punk is da bomb

[@VanielDeeform]

Kudos to MXPX for covering this song first in a pop punk style, but these guys took it so much further and really made it better using the original’s & their dynamics. Well played gents!

[@nasghebrrr]

This is absolutely breathtaking, fantastic job guys!

[@Minority905]

Thanks Laronic!

The skills are outstanding!

[@TonyVazquez8265]

I've spent an hour checking out Metal cover versions for this song. Some of them were okay, others used some stupid Autotune for the vocals. THIS VERSION is GENUINE! I love the guitar sound here, I can feel the honesty in the vocals as you guys sang this song in your true voices straight from the heart, nothing fancy, pure Singing! Your drummer is AWESOME! I love how he drives the various dynamics through this performance and his drum fills were right on point! Excellent job, guys! 🤘💝🤘💯

[@fastest5oh]

Seriously, I'm astonished at the talent you guys have. Everything you do is bang on; your covers are all amazing, and your original stuff is fantastic and different from all the other acts out there trying to be blink/green day etc. I don't understand why you guys aren't opening for some of those bands - I'd have you on the tour if I was one of them, in a second. Keep up the good work - I'm enjoying it :) Cheers

[@Minority905]

Maybe we will someday :)

[@ZekeMe0ut]

I sure hope so. Do you have some original work?

We’re talking away I don’t know what I’m to say I’ll say it anyway Today’s another day to find you Shying away I’ll be coming for your love, OK? Take on me Take me on I’ll be gone In a day or two So needless to say I’m odds and ends But that’s me stumbling away Slowly learning that life is OK Say after me It’s no better to be safe than sorry Take on me Take me on I’ll be gone In a day or two Oh the things that you say Is it life or just to play my worries away You’re all the things I’ve got to remember You’re shying away I’ll be coming for you anyway Take on me Take me on I’ll be gone In a day or two
