LYRICS:
You have picked the wrong mark. You tried to pull an inside job. You’re a thief of a different kind. One who preys on those fighting to stay alive. Pull your hand back, or lose the sense of touch. Remove it at the stump. Pay homage to Medieval times. We won’t fall in line. You couldn’t hack it convincing others that you would back them. This isn’t the real world. If It was you’d be chewed up. You’d be spit out and left with fractures. This bridge is burned. Kicked us when we were down. You stole everything we had to show for. Your purpose is pointless. We need to both move on. Where do we draw the line between helpful and hurtful? We’ll come home with nothing so you think you are something. This process has made us stable, more capable. Even though you always cut us down, we’re here to say we’re proud of what we’ve become. It’s time to bury the hatchet. We won’t bury it in your back. We’re not like you. We won’t bury it in your back.

Gave these guys a listen to many many many a moon ago. And my reaction was "meh not bad". Then one day they played Edmonton Alberta with I wanna say Silverstein. And naturally my gf being a fan of Silverstein got tickets. So we go. I consume the normal amount of overpriced concert beers that one needs to consume and these guys play. And Im vibing them. Then at the end of their set as everyone cheers. My drunk ass let's out the loudest woo that had ever graced my lungs and voice box. And who happens to hear my woo? The drummer. For he looks up to where the woo originated from and we lock eyes and I'm guessing he thought "damn that was a mighty woo. You sir deserve a drum stick for that" cuz sure as shit after we locked eyes and did the "sup" head nod that men do. I see a drum stick flying in the air towards me. And you bet your bottom my drunk ass caught that drum stick(which was a accomplishment all in its own right). Now I love this band. Not only cuz there music is good. But because HE HEARD MY WOO. To this day that is in my top five me moments of greatness.

JB wrote somewhere upon release of Guardians - maybe in a tab book or something? - that he and Dustin wrote pretty much all the songs on Guardians, splitting it half and half. He's written a bunch in the past too like Sincerity and some of Pangaea, among others. I like his writing style a lot.

Was at a show once and JB was playing next to this stack of monitors. They were damn near as tall as he was. At some point right in the middle of a song he hikes his leg up to the top of the monitor in the most awkward way possible. Dude looked uncomfortable as all hell. But he stayed there for a solid minute like, "Welp, I have committed, must see through." He eventually brought his leg back down but his foot came down minus one flip flop. It sat there...atop the monitor.. He walk around a little bit a kept looking at the flip flop, then to the side of the stage, then back to the flip flop, obviously asking for help. Jake kind of pointed to the ground, I believe he was pointing to spots where he had spit. JB kind of clumsily walks around and finally a stage guy comes from the side and grabs his flip flop, the crowd went nuts. He puts it on JB's foot and thumbs up him and then the crowd. All of ABR was laughing and the crowd went fucking nuts. Great show.

I was a teen when I grabbed Thrill Seeker and started to learn to scream. These guys taught me many things, about how to treat people and how to persevere. Now I'm 30, going to see them for the third time in October, with my wife who's almost as endeared to them as I am. I'm no sob story kid, but if they were aiming to make a difference at all they made a difference in me.

My sister loves these guys too and is your age and she’s the only other person I know who likes them and can actually geek out about them with.
