death farmboys, screamo, but then it was more dark humor and ended up being one of my favorites, Rockboy says they’re like 7 Seconds, don’t rely on hardness to matter

the most glam punk girls I have ever seen, from LA of course, silly talk in between songs but did rock hard, trying too hard to be like the boys with the singing voices though, music could have been more interesting and Rockboy said that they lacked sophistication, the boys loved them
