      @@CastleChris92 but once you award S tiers to lesser bands its like giving a perfect 10 figure skating or dunk contest score. So what happens when something better comes you have nowhere to go. Sum 41 was like their bigger Canadian brother and they existed in the same time with them, Greenday, Blink 182 and Good Charlotte so Finns A tier seems pretty reasonable. Lagwagon and Millencolin got me into that scene but both are C Tier-ish bands. Personal significance doesn't hold much water in the grandiose sceme of things.

    NFG is to me one of the the most influential of the genre, up there with Blink and Green Day as truly molding the sounds going forward. I would say that easycore is the template for a lot of pop punk over the last 15 years for sure, and NFG definitely started that trend.

      I would say NFG is definitely a big influencer for easy core but also pop punk and I would say they definitely got kids into post hardcore too. I’m not the biggest NFG fan I mean I am a fan but I like need to listen to them like I do my favorite bands if that makes sense but what’s weird for me is I consider them to have the best musical style I love the super pop punk vocals, with the Heavier guitar tones, some metal influenced guitar riffs that’s 100% what I love that’s the kinda music I liked to create don’t get me wrong I love screaming and break downs but in my own band I just want a great singer and guitars that sound too heavy.

    People who forgot about Lagwagon seriously need to go listen to their newest stuff. They changed their style to a heavier tone but it's still so good.

    Simple Plan released a new album in 2022, and it's really good. I was surprised, because bands usually fall way off after 20 years. I saw New Found Glory live in August 2022, and they put on an amazing show. What I liked most is that they didn't pause between songs like a lot of bands do. They were just non-stop. They played 18 songs in an hour and 15 minutes, which included a 7-10 minute break in the middle where Chad Gilbert told the audience about his battle with a rare cancer (Pheochromacytoma) in 2021. They even played a cover of "Let It Go" from Frozen. lol BTW, NFG has a new acoustic album that just dropped a couple of days ago, which appears to contain some new songs plus some classics.

    I loved Lagwagon in the early 2000s. I got to see them with Rufio and Yellowcard opening. They were definitely an 'older folks' pop-punk band. They wrote a lot of songs about becoming adults that were pretty poignant but sort of lost on younger kids. No Use For a Name was another great example of this.

    Hey Finn,
    I can’t speak to every reason why pop punk artists wore wristbands, buts here’s why I did in the later years of playing with Home Grown. I sweat..a lot..when playing live. The wristband would help keep the sweat off the strings and pickups, as well a quick swipe on the forehead ‘cuz the salt would sting your eyes and be incredibly frustrating when you played in poorly ACed venues or down south on Warped Tour.
    And speaking of Warped Tour, I remember all the bands sharing T-shirts with one another because..well we ran out of clean shirts..but then eventually all those free shirts you got from your friends started to stink..bad. Solution, cut out the sides of the shirt (kept the BO off the armpit, and let the hot southern breeze blow on through).
    My experience anyhow. Love your work.

And then that EP after that, Element of Sonic Defiance… that was a game changer for me. Those two records just felt so ahead of what other “similar” bands were doing at the time. The next few records were excellent as well, but those are the two that have stuck with me through the years

    Geez, I think Lagwagon should be higher than that. While I've never considered their songwriting on par with some others from that era, they belong to a very small minority of punk bands to release that much material without putting out a truely weak album.. Off the top of my head about the only other band with a more consistent catalogue would be Good Riddance. To be nearing double digit albums without a single bad one is almost unheard of for any band, but especialy in the punk world.
