WHY YOU'RE A RETARD IF YOU DYE YOUR HAIR ABNORMAL COLORS IN 2026

"Why do they always look like this?" - Asmongold We used to dye our hair as Warped Tour era teens, in order to stand out. To individualize ourselves. They co-opted hair-dye in order to signal adherence to the cult of Marxism. We are absolutely not the same. Highlighted Comments: " “I’m childless” Thank you for your service." " It's like someone gassed the whole city with the joker toxin.." " "I have nothing to lose so let me destroy the future for everyone else's children."" " “We are going to fight back” says a person who has panic attacks answering their front door." " I feel like nose rings are the new straight jackets."

Review: Slow Me Down is a brand new album by 3PM from Baltimore, Maryland. The band was formed in 2012 when drummer Brandon Millman and Guitarist Scott Montgomery recruited Brennan Stark as singer and bassist. It wasn't long before the trio found themselves in the studio with renowned producer Paul Leavitt who has worked with bands such as All Time Low, Senses Fail, Strike Anywhere, Such Gold and more. The result is 11 tracks of upbeat, reflective and optimistic pop punk in the realm of Yellowcard, Blink 182 and New Found Glory.


"My heart knows what it wants," sings Brennan on the album's opening track "Something New," "...to take what's mine for once;" the music remind one of listening to an early (if more serious and mature) Blink 182 release. Although the members of the band are still quite young, the music is solid and hints at greater things to come.

One of the stronger songs on the album is "My Soul on Fire." A song about the struggles of growing up and transitioning from a perspective of wonder and excitement about the world to one of confusion. "Time spent here has only made me a head full of doubt... and I don't know where to go, but I'm not alone."

Fans who purchase Slow Me Down on a physical CD will get an insert booklet with lyrics. Physical media is a dying breed but some of us still enjoy holding on to an actual album and reading along with the lyrics while listening. So the addition of a lyric booklet is always a plus.

Our Score: 8/10 - Upbeat, catchy guitar riffs with reflective lyrics from a solid young band loaded with potential.
