when i talk about what pop punk is, i often show people this band.
Honestly I think Dorkrockcorkrod is one of, if not the best pop-punk record ever written.
I love the Ergs! and had the pleasure of meeting Mikey in Montreal last year. Really nice guy!
Love The Ergs! A good friend of mine put me on them, Chinese Telephones, and Tiltwheel. And you weren't kidding about the Night Birds, that band is absolutely incredible.
Ha, awesome! Someone told me they saw some of my videos on here so I looked it up. I can't believe you managed to sum them up in roughly ten minutes. I think I've thrown one more set of theirs up since this was published.
Hey Jealousy is a pop punk BANGER 🤘🏻
Dude do a video on the whole anti hardcore movement of the 80s: Flipper, Butthole Surfers, No Trend, Mighty Schphincter
Fuck yes I am down with this please
After listening to them I think their sound would have fit perfectly into (and shares some similarities with) the late 80's UK scene that Snuff, Perfect Daze, Goober Patrol etc came out of.
As a lifelong fan of good pop-punk, I found out about The Ergs waaaaaayyyy too late, but when I first heard Dork Rock Cork Rod I was immediately sold. When they popped up on The Chris Gethard Show (apart from Mikey being the drummer for the amazing house band) I was hyped as fuck. So goddamn good.
Hell yeah!! Yeah like I said I didn’t get it at first when I first heard them when I was 15. They popped up on my radar again when I was like 18-19 and since then I’ve been all about em.
I saw the Ergs in Durham around the mid-2000s. I was a new teacher, and some of the H.S. kids from my school were surprised to see me in the pit. Good times.
I met them in 05 at a party gig in Freehold NJ, playing with the largely unknown band The Fred Mertz Experience, who were around from 89 thru 16 but only played sporadic shows after 04. I played rhythm guitar. Both bands kicked ASS that night and it was a good party.
Dorkrockcorkrod was The ERGS! newest release and I snagged a copy. I practically wore out that CD over the next couple of years. It's still one of my favorite punk albums.
I'm going to see Mikey Erg in Asbury Park this Sunday on the same bill with my friends Fetal Rage on the bill.
Love The Ergs!!!! Great choice!
I had no idea they were from South Amboy! Need to listen ASAP
I lived in New Brunswick and played in a few bands at the time, and the Ergs were kind of always a thing right off the bat. Meaning, all they had to do was play a show, and they were on everyone's mind afterwards. Great band for sure!
nice title!
I only knew Mikey from drumming with sfh, pretty cool to see him getting a lot done
Absolutely love the ergs! You should do a video on BTMI! Jeff is such wn interesting dude!
Great Video again!
Seeing footage of the FU Church, especially that kids carpets makes me so happy
I got to see Mikey erg at a basement show in my hometown for the tour of his self titled album. I started asking him questions about like the bands that he’s been in and like which one was the most fun and so on. And rather than answer questions about himself he turned every question on me and was like a man what are you into like I don’t wanna talk about myself like would you like to do then he saw a weird Alpin and we literally talked about “Weird Al” for 15 minutes and how big of an influencer years and you know how everything about him is wonderful. Mikey erg is phenomenal as a human and musician
Just talked to Mikey today, he has seen some of your videos. I can't remember exactly what he said about this one, but it wasn't negative. What others have said about him is true, he's a good guy.
My favorite band is the ergs bass player’s other band Night Birds
gods of pop punk
I found the Ergs after someone saw one of my instagram videos and asked me to cover "pray for rain"
Do you like The Chats?
I love the Ergs so so much ;O;
Hi- Seattle local here. Just wanted to let you know that I loved this video but also have a small correction. You posted the poster for the wrong year of Seattle Pop Punk Fest. It was the one in 2020 which The Ergs played, not 2019. I was joking with Mikey before the show, asking if they were just gonna play all of Upstairs Downstairs, and he was like “actually, we’ve been talking about that.” And then they played the whole record PLUS the deep cuts and hits in their catalog. I had my copy of Upstairs Downstairs in my car and had them all sign it. I wish you were at that show!!
Yeah I know it was the wrong flyer (it was from the year I actually DID get to go lol). I couldn’t find the 2020 one for some reason. And right on that’s awesome! Upstairs/downstairs is so rad!!
@@thepunkhistorian6397 when Mikey stayed at my house on tour with Worriers, I was like “sooo do you wanna sleep upstairs or downstairs?” 😂😂😂 Then I jumped in their van to hang out for the rest of the tour down to LA.
@@kaylaalisongreet hahahah right on that’s awesome
Interesting you didn't mention the Steinways...
Can you do a video on goregrind?
you mainly do punk bands I already know.
of course that is by no means a bad thing
it further validates the shit outta me
The ergs rule
shrek .........yan(like can)-ick.......
did they support libertarianism / anarcho-capitalism? just asking due to the Don't Tread On Me flag behind them...
I mean I don’t know what their political stance is. But I’m pretty sure that the don’t tread on me thing was the venue/house they were playing at as I’ve never seen or heard anything else like that from them anywhere else than that clip
@@thepunkhistorian6397 ok. thanks :)
