AMANDA-- "ALL MY BEST FRIENDS ARE METALHEADS"

Hey readers. It's finals week and I've got loads of studying to do so I'm going to keep this short and sweet. Of late, whenever I've needed  music to do homework to that won't distract me Less Than Jake has come to my rescue. For whatever reason, I don't own any of their albums but what I've heard I've really enjoyed so far.This song comes from their third record Hello Rockview and has some pretty excellent lyrics. Apparently it is featured on the soundtrack for Digimon: the Movie which is kind of cool. I'm not very familiar with ska punk or even ska for that matter but I think Less Than Jake is awesome and look forward to checking out more of their stuff. Enjoy!

Comments: Hello! Amanda here! Yesterday I was mindlessly meandering around Youtube when I stumbled across a video for the new single "Settle Down" from the American rock band No Doubt. This was incredibly exciting for me as, between a four year hiatus and various solo projects, the group have not put out a record since 2001. However, this is not the track I've posted here. Fellow fans should appreciate that they sound as killer as ever, have held onto their creative vision, and as always are having one heck of a good time. What’s impressive, to me at least, is that over the years, No Doubt has managed to retain a signature style even while fusing and experimenting with different genres. Their energy, ingenuity, and versatility have allowed them continued success for nearly two decades and made them a personal favorite of mine.  Enter “Spiderwebs,” off their 1995 Tragic Kingdom album, a pop rock song with a ska twist. If you’re not familiar with No Doubt, this is a good introduction to the band, a small taste of what they're all about and capable of. Enjoy the song and thanks for reading!
