It's been so damn long, we really can't remember which it is. We've been a band since late '97 or early '98. John Polydoros : "Hey, thanks for taking the time to want to talk to us. Can you give us a little history on Vacation Bible School? Squid Pro Quo : Thanks for taking the time to talk with Squid Pro Quo, John. The new song is tentatively called "Up All Night" and hopefully it's not a Records, Draft or Unwritten Law cover.īlink's new song HAS been leaked and you can listen to it right here! But I'll still probably go see them for old time's sake when they come to Tinley Park with My Chemical Romance just for the hell of it. If it's a continuation of where they left off they're still dead to me. So anyways, if this is a throwback to old Blink, I'd be into it. I used to love Blink and go to their shows whenever they came around Chicago back in high school, but then after I graduated high school, they released that shitty record then toured with No Doubt and I haven't seen or listened to anything they've done since. I remember that S/T album they came out with in 2004, and that was when they died to me. However, I'm excited yet skeptical of this new stuff they're coming out with. I don't care how many punk points I lose by saying that. Hell, even pre- Take Off Your Pants and Jacket I enjoy. Sound stadium rock much? I admit I do miss the old Blink stuff Dude Ranch and pre- Dude Ranch. We will have the album that I think is really modern and relevant to where we are in our career.” I really think we have a tremendous, diverse palette. Then we have songs…that are madly different and experimental, (and) songs that are prog-rock blink music, taking a blink song but (adding) stadium rock qualities to it. “ We have these songs that are total throwbacks, exactly what people know Blink is. All songs are available streaming on the band’s MySpace, two are up for free download at Lucky Gator Records' site and the 7'' is available for $5 here. The last two songs, “Blankets and Sheets” and “Sleeping In,” are also really good and almost sound like a toned-down Off With Their Heads. The band’s own description of: “Sad songs. The next track, “CHOKE,” brings it back up with a song about the ex-girlfriend that can simultaneously make a guy want be with her as she is “choking out all the life I have left.” Depressing as it sounds, this is a song I kept going back to. The record starts off with a bit of a snoozer, “The Next Train Home,” but it’s over before you get a chance to really give it much thought. I think I like it better because Lipreader doesn’t sound like they’re trying to recreate the signature sounds of their influences, but instead take that sound and make it their own. Lipreader’s (ex-Das Kapital) Broken Heart Attack 7” out on Lucky Gator Records presents four songs with a sound reminiscent of Jawbreaker or a less political Broadways. This time around, I’m getting a '90s vibe that I’m not bummed out by even though I probably should be. In my last review (Noise by Numbers - Over Leavitt), I mentioned the growing influence of the 1990s resurgence and how it could be a bad thing.
