"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: All aboard The Nailheads express! You don't wanna miss this ride! Hailing from Montreal, Canada, the band are back with their fourth full length album. Live To See Tomorrow is a musical journey that covers a variety of influences, styles, and instruments. Harmonicas, pianos, bongos, and horns? Absolutely!
"Some people just stay the same," sings Ritchy Nails, "cause they're all
too scared..." Songs such as "Waiting For Dawn" break the six minute
mark and highlight the bands incredible variety of influences such as
The Ramones, The Clash, Johnny Thunders, Johnny Cash, Hank Williams,
George Jones, Motown, & more. This is a band that is not afraid to
experiment, although "experiment" is probably the wrong word choice
because nothing feels stretched or out of place. The influences are diverse, but rock n' roll is
the glue that binds them together in a neat little package.
"Kill Or Be Killed" is a straightforward rock n' roll energy track. "Nothing Comes Easy" busts out the harmonica for a little bit of the blues. "Do The Charlie" is a modernized version of soulful oldies from the 50s and 60s that will get your feet moving.
"There's Coming A Day" is another lengthy track that takes the listener on a trip that transitions from rock n' roll ballad to gospel sing-a-long reminiscent of Billie Joe Armstrong's take on The Temptations' hit song "Shout!" during live Green Day shows in the early 00s.
"Nothing Left To Lose" is a somber tune that makes me want to call in my tab, unhitch my horse, and ride off in to the sunset. The only problem is that in the not too distant future, the only thing to unhitch outside the local watering hole will likely involve the unplugging of an electric vehicle from a parking stall.
Live To See Tomorrow is an album that brings to mind images of sippin' on whiskey in a wood-stained pub while reminiscing on decisions made long ago. For your next drink, might I recommend The Nailheads special; one part punk, two parts rock n' roll, mixed with a dash of country, soul, and gospel.
Rating: 8 / 10 - Punk influenced old time rock n' roll is alive and well with The Nailheads unique blend exhibited on Live To See Tomorrow.
