8/10. Great catchy pop punk songs. Hayley is super talented. 
They matured a bit on the later albums which I always appreciate

I always break out the “my sister saw them at a backyard concert in Orlando, there was like 30 people there”. I wasn’t even there but I still tell people.

they aight.

ain’t it fun

[Tulpa | 3,537]

I like them all right. Hayley can rock carrot-red hair like few can.

I'm not interested in them but I am interested in how did this happen?  Was it, like, a birthday party before they were signed to a label or something?

The closet I got to something like that was Switchfoot in the middle of their heyday came to a small dive in Athens, GA and they advertised it through word of mouth for about 2 days before the showed up to play.  I went a to LOT of Christian rock concerts back then, and they were rarely big events beyond 200-500 concert goers.  I missed seeing SF in their early days so it was nice to enjoy them in a venue that felt more on-par with the crowds other Christian musicians were playing in.

The details are fuzzy but it was like a small show I think taking back Sunday was the big name. Certainly before paramore was big. I remember my sister mentioning how small the girl was.

You were lied to, Skinny.

@RH got the details.

it was 2006. Cornerstone. Here is some video.

She said it was a side stage overlapping another bands set. So there was a very few amount of people in that crowd.

Never heard the name before today and I don't recognize any of the music video examples listed above.  It doesn't seem to be my type of music, but again, I wouldn't consider it torture to listen to.  

[G-type | 2,537]

I am always getting this band mixed up with La Roux (who I prefer), but I still like a lot of Paramore's songs.

[ICrappedMyPants | 302]

4/10 I find their music pretty annoying tbh.

I imagine they would find you pretty annoying too, tbh, no one likes the scent of caca pants.

[Hammerfestus | 3,891]

but I’m deducting theoretical points for jism hair.

4/10

The awful production ruins whatever might be good about it.

[Kguillemette | 1,547]

5/10. Nice little pop punk band. Never really had a strong opinion of them either way, which I suppose is a compliment.

[Skorp | 383]

I liked them during my teen years. Got me out of some tough times. I really can't enjoy them anymore now since I am so deep in the heavier stuff, but I still can still tune into some of their songs once in a while. So I did vote 7/10, but looking now I believe it would be more 4/10.

[JamesRobot | 5,839]

Pretty meh.  Ain't It Fun was the only tune I recognized.  Fairly generic pop punk but she can sing.  Doesn't really hook me though.

[Reed Rothchild | 9,592]

Final bumpage

[Bearcat-Doug | 5,105]

Their music reminds me of the catchy punk/pop songs from Avril Lavigne's earlier albums. Solid 8/10 for me.
