Reblogging this again because shred, and because I am pumped to play with SMW.
After The Fall - Macho Bullshit
Convince me
There’s something more here than a room full of kids
Pushing each other around and swinging their fists
Show me a sing along then breakdown cliché isn’t played
Out I disagree
Tell me when did fighting became part of your plan
What the fuck does gang mentality have to do with music?
Show me the ideas and ethics we learned
When we were kids still remain
Pack up your macho bullshit
‘Cause you’re not, you’re not wanted here
I still feel the same way
I did when I was nine
Why have all my friends lost touch with what
Was so important to us?

HELP LAST CALL OUT
Hey Everyone -
We were recently asked to play an event in Las Vegas which is a ‘Battle’ of sorts. This battle is to play an annual Extreme Sports event that happens in Vegas every March called Extreme Thing. Every year some awesome bands play, and last year some of our friends, including Senses Fail, Transit & Man Overboard played.
Anyway, we were asked to play after all of the other local bands were submitted, and we were never sent the necessary email with the voting information when ONLINE VOTING BEGAN LAST WEEK! So we are super behind in the votes.
If we are in the Top 20 online vote getting bands, we move on to Round 2, which will let us play @ HOUSE OF BLUES in Las Vegas. That would be awesome for us - it’s a venue that we have always wanted to play.
So if you would, take a second to visit the link below and vote for Last Call. You must submit the required info, and YOU MUST confirm your vote through the confirmation email that they send. Otherwise your vote will not count.
*You can vote once per day per email, so vote away.*

Thank you guys so much. We’ll keep you posted on our progress in this. Please spread the word and have all of your friends vote for Last Call.

Our friend Maryam Hassan not only interviewed us at Fest in Florida in October, but she also photographed us at our show in Chicago in November. Check out some of the photos, and visit Punktastic (UK) for a ton of other awesome shit!

I know what I want and I’ll never lose sight.
So here’s my advice: never let go off the things that keep you warm inside.
And I’m still looking for my sanity and nothing more,
I think I left it somewhere inside 55 Sycamore.
These bad boys will be shipping out in the next day or so. If you ordered one with a LTD SOTO w/ Screen Printed Jacket, your order will be going out next week. There are ONLY 3 WATCHES LEFT! If you haven’t picked one up yet, don’t sleep on it. They’ll be gone very soon.
I’m going to look like such a dork at the show tomorrow:
- Such Gold/Mightier Than Sword/One Nation windbreaker
- Last Call longsleeve
- Khaki pants
- Trucker hat
This is what happens when your favorite hardcore influenced pop punk band plays and you’ve never seen them before….
MTS Family.
One Nation.
A lot of the meanings in our songs come off as super negative. I wrestle with a lot of anxiety and depression, and these things shine through when I write. I’m not shy about my shortcomings, and in life, it seems like we’re all just trying to hide the fact that we’re terrified. So, I write about that fear and how I’m trying to move past it… In doing so, I help myself through to the other side, where I can find some hope and rest. I can only cross my fingers that when people hear our music, they pull whatever it is that they need out of it. I’m not here to tell them how to live their life or how to feel. I just hope that my experiences and my way of working through them help them somehow.
