Hearing Finn say "Alright people!" Always makes my day a little bit better

I’m so excited for that new job for a cowboy album that’s definitely coming I swear

I was into the style of a lot of these bands, but still found them way too late and it kills me every day. Something Corporate and Forever the Sickest Kids both have great songs and I really wish they got bigger. Motion City Soundtrack I did know and always loved and I will always push them to new people. I love their style of songwriting. LGUAD is still so brilliant, man. The absolute embodiment of someone told to stop listening to sad songs all day. So they wrapped their gut-wrenching lyrics in upbeat tunes and the fact it works is amazing. They deserve so much more love.

Job for a cowboy are the best. Sun eater is a masterpiece. They have some of the most vicious riffs on genesis and ruination. Jfoc keeps getting better and better.

Absolutely love MCST, such an underrated band, great lyrics, great hooks, super catchy and emotionally varied

It´s great that you are bringing back this format! I was missing your "Why did not they get bigger" videos :)

Sun of nihility was a master piece

Discovered Something Corporate in college, Konstantine stuck a chord in my heart.

FTSK is kinda back. I think they’re testing the waters. I saw them last month at So What Fest. They played the main stage and still sound amazing.

Motion City Soundtrack holds the fuck up.

Hell yeah Finn, I'm so stoked you included motion city soundtrack they're so underrated and oh so dark lol

I was in a hardcore band along time ago and we used to use the party in your bedroom song as our intro music to our set every show 😂 good times

Ive been a fan of Motion City Soundtrack since before their debut album dropped, one of my all time favorites. Great song writing paired with hook laden music. Their first 4 albums are phenomenal.

Motion City Soundtrack still sounding AMAZING live in 2023

I was in the scene from about 2000-07 and fell out of it after college and needed a change. Thanks for sharing bands that I missed and no doubt would have loved had I known them then.This Forever Sickest Kids album is really good.

I have a real soft spot for Head Automatica.

Only watching this for the JFAC love. Hopefully we’ll see an Agoraphobic Nosebleed video soon!

Great video topic fella 😉😃😃

dude i loved your bands that should have been bigger series cause i learned shit i didnt know, glad to see its revamped

I love Forever the Sickest kids! Was jamming out to them at emo nite last month. I Did a tik tok driving home from work jamming out to she’s a lady.

Thank you, I was trying to remember "I woke up in a car" by something corporate for months...

I've gotta tell you, the Long Island Punk/emo scene LOVED Something Corporate. I'm actually surprised to see them on this list. Jack's Mannequin was underrated around us and the new solo stuff Andrew is doing basically no one knows about even though I hype his stuff up to everyone I meet.

More of these videos please!

Motion city soundtrack has been at on the weekly Playlist for well over a decade since i first heard them

JfaC gives me the idea that they knew exactly what they were doing with their first EP, just make a huge splash with deathcore, then hard pivot to straight death metal, eventually into progressive death metal. I think they only got better with time.

Great hit of nostalgia Finn, thanks for creating! We toured with Cash Cash and Cobra Starship back in 2009. they were really good guys who wrote killer catchy songs. Party in your bedroom was with Sam Hollander i think. i do remember JP saying he listened to a good amount of Madonna which may explain that sound they went for. Great to see they are still killin' it

JFAC had such a big style change because the revolving door of members. Davey is the only original member. I think Charn is playing country now

The first time I heard of something corporate was back in 2003 when they played their song space on fuse tv along with lostprophets, afi, linkin park, the darkness, etc.

These are a bit off genre/topic, but I love em: face to face seaweed la peche IRON CHIC (Srsly fuzkin slaps and they're largely unknown, singalong pub core, like dropkick but way better) caskets Moose blood Mr kitty Songs: dawn of the dead, drug like We're about the same age Finn so I'd love your take on any of em some may be right in your wheelhouse...and btw you've hipped me to a buncha cool stufff through ur vids so a big ole sloppy thanks for that!!

Job For A Cowboy is my go to gym song,I knew it sounded so familiar when i rediscovered but now i remember seeing it back in the early 00"s

I definitely remember the pig squeal girl and a job for a cowboy. Love the video sm

Also, I was surprised you cut out right before that gnarly pig squeal in "Entombment of a Machine " haha

You should do a full video about FTSK. Love them too

The timing of this video is insane bcuz I just started re listening to forever the sickest kids.

No Idea If I'm The Only One, But There Are Several 2000's Kids/2010's Kids Who Know Forever The Sickest Kids For Having A Song For The End Credits For The Original Diary Of A Wimpy Kid Movie.

siempre me pregunté por qué miss may i nunca llego mas lejos, tenian carisma y canciones de sobra

Saw one of the Jack Mannequin dudes at a local show in Richmond a few nights ago!

I know they still have relatively good numbers on Spotify, but I think Relient K should’ve been way bigger. Just listened to Mmhmm for the first time in a while and some of those songs are so. fucking. good

Everything Is Alright is a great description of Anxiety and OCD

If you're doing this series...you HAVE to include Finch, their Say Hello to Sunshine album specifically. It had all the proggy mathcore stuff in post-hardcore before bands like DGD got popular but the critics TRASHED it. It came out too early honestly.

I always loved Forever the Sickest Kids, always wondered why almost no one knew about them back then :(

I still go back and listen to something corporate lol. I always loved the song “ I woke up in a car”

I bought the Forever Sickest Kids cd on Day 1 because I was so hyped and there was no easy way to hear or download the record. Still a great record.

I'll always love Motion City Soundtrack. My ex introduced me to them and we even went and saw them on their farewell tour before the reunited again. Unfortunately my ex took her life, but I still listen to them no matter how sad it makes me because it reminds me of her.

The “They look Canadian” chat message when Justin pierre came on screen😂

Also I def thought you were going to say Hold Me Down was the darkest MCS song!

I was caught so off guard by you playing the clip of the kids in school moshing to JFAC. It actually happened at my highschool back in 2011 I believe and 2 of the guys are brothers and the the other is a mutual friend, I knew all of them and a friend of mine recorded it and put it on her tumblr and the rest is history.

Love love absolutely love forever sickest kids!!!

Absolutely loved 4TSK - So glad I was able to see them when they hit up Slam Dunk in the UK

motion city soundtrack separate video when??👉🏻👈🏻😩

Saw job for a cowboy headline a tour over Whitechapel and cattle decapitation show was nuts

the myspace era was the golden age of internet. it'll never be that good again :(

I saw Job For A Cowboy twice!

My childhood best friend introduced me to Motion City Soundtrack when we were in like middle school (I listened to the CD of theirs that she burned for me on repeat for quite a while) and I always think of them as "that band from my hometown". My high school math teacher even had a couple stories about their lead singer from when he first started teaching at the school that were pretty neat.

Thanks for bringing back "bands that should have been bigger" series!!😊

I remember asking for the underdog alma mater cd for christmas forever ago. And when i got it I drove my parents crazy. Still love forever the sickest kids.

Job for a cowboy played at a bunch of festivals and gwar,slayer,other metal bands I used to see..when that newer style of metal camd out ..then ppl started calling it death core and metal core and it was a ton of them.i liked some of it and it was good rockstar festival bands

Something Corporate only released two full-length albums and a lot of those two albums (Especially the first one, Leaving Through the Window) are just fantastic. I think had they stayed together for one more album they would have started to gain more traction.

Guess we’ll see if JFACB has the old school deathcore style in the new album, and considering they have Navene Koperweis on drums and he’s been perfecting his heel-toe, it’s possible they bring it back. But honestly I loved every album they made and what style they made it in, and I’ll love the new album too.

God I forgot about that Cash Cash song. My friends and I used to be so into all those neon pop punk bands. There’s so much to be said about that scene. So many forgotten bands (Teen Hearts, Racing Kites, Danger Radio, Anarbor, Call the Cops, A Rocket to the Moon, I could go on)

When I first heard Cash Cash "Party In Your Bedroom" I thought he said "There's a lot of Taco Bell to" instead of "There's a lot of talk about you" 😂. That song is so great. I still listen to it on occasion.

I'd add Elliot Minor to this list. Saw them when they were VERY new and before they got shat on and bottled at Download. They never got big, but their 1st album is pretty good still! They had a good pop-punk sound and then cut in classical strings... Here we are 15 years later and I'm still a fan

I'm so excited

I remember seeing job open for in flames and megadeth in Denver in 08’. Never a big fan of their music, but love the energy of their show.

My Ticket Home would have been huge now if they stuck around. So many bands do their sound now it's shocking. I'm glad their vocalist is at least doing stuff in his band Headcave

Job For a Cowboy was really big in my highschool when the Doom EP came out. Then everyone forgot about them.

Motion City Soundtrack also had an amazing drummer. Underrated band for sure

Man… Motion City Soundtrack was phenomenal! Think of their sounding like the cover of Barbie. Happy. Having fun! But internally the lyrics: Oppenheimer. Dark, heart bombing lyrics. Gah.. so good.

Talk more about Eighteen Visions. They’re back and still get overlooked

My high school English teacher used to share the gif version of the scene kids moshing and said me, my twin sister and my best friend looked just like those kids. I hope those scene kids are doing well lol

I still listen to Motion City Soundtrack all the time.

huge huge fan of the Motion, one of the best, god tier shit.

While watching Motion City Soundtrack at Warped Tour, in either ‘05 or ‘06, someone threw a glass bottle up in the air that hit me in the forehead and I had to go hang out in the VIP shaded area for a while while waiting for the medics to come look at me. I was bleeding but I didn’t need stitches thankfully.

FTSK and JFAC were big back in the days. If I'm not mistake JFAC was already playing mainstages in huge european festival when Genesis just came out. And FTSK was popular here that they even sounded in the local radio and magazines (i live in Peru)

Motion City soundtrack is so good. The words are so sad the music is so beautiful.

Forever The Sickest Kids did play a small part in a medley at the Superbowl. Not that it helped them any, but hey, lol.

Something Corporate has made a massive comeback from their reunion, selling out venues!!!

Broken Heart is from Even if it Kills Me ,Motion City Soundtrack album. Written mostly about getting sober. Its a fun album, but a hard listen. "The Conversation" hits me fucking hard

@!#?@! By Motion City Soundtrack is my jam. I was introduced to them way too late (a few years ago) and their entire catalog is awesome.

you talking about motion city soundtrack is how i feel about la dispute. i love them but seriously can’t let myself listen to them lol

On the next one we need to talk about Hit The Lights. I love them but they just didnt get as big as they could have.

Also In Dying Arms were a great deathcore band (at least back in 2010s) they played very well, the vocals were on point and they should've been HUGE. Ten years later i listened to them and realized their lyrics were very incely. I know why they didn't blow up 😂

1:13 nice Naruto run

I've said it too, FTSK underdog album was incredible. Every song on it was a banger and so underrated

lol I remember Cash Cash playing the Rutgers fest on “the sounds of New Jersey” stage with Amy Lee(Ailee Kpop) and Jessi were there singing what I guess were demos as they sang in English except one song Jessi sang in Korean. It was really odd to see people getting planted in front of you, worked out both are big time in Korea and New Jersey.

lmao perfect description of Motion City Soundtrack music

My wife is obsessed with something corporate and motion city soundtrack.

Are you familiar with the band VCTMS out of Chicago? Independent Nu-metalcore band that will be releasing their 5th album in October. They have features from a bunch of different people including Darius from Spite and Frankie from Emmure....I bet it would make a great video if you could get an interview with either the vocalist (John Matalone) or drummer (Meredith Henderson)

something corporate was so amazing. if you were a teen girl and NOT obsessed with “konstantine,” then what were you even doing? lol. and now he tours as andrew mcmahon in the wilderness, and he’s great live and plays some old soco and jack’s mannequin songs.. motion city soundtrack… i first saw them opening for all-american rejects back in 2005. i have seen them 4x since then, and i’ve met the lead singer.. and i have some of the lyrics tattooed on me. one of my favorite bands ever.. so much great shit from them.. shit i really vibed with, and sadly still vibe with too much sometimes. ha. love them though..

I dig the cerebral incubation shirt finn 🤘🤘

I genuinely love FTSK and JFAC. JFAC and Cattle Decapitation are my favorite death metal bands of all time. Before anyone says that they're deathcore, I feel like that only applies to their first album, then everything after is just straight death metal. I also really like the groove in Sun Of Nihility, which I only mention since you played it. The bass guitar goes so hard in that song to me.

Can’t believe something corporate never blew up. Leaving through the window is phenomenal. They crushed at WWWY a couple weeks ago too.

I'd love to see a video from you doing a deeper dive on the "emocore", post hardcore, "screamo"/"skramz", "emoviolence" (quotations really make sense when using some of these ridiculous genre names) stuff from the mid to late 90's through the early 00's. Bands like Orchid, Jeromes Dream, Saetia, Page 99, Majority Rule and the like. Labels like Ebullition, Clean Plate, Level Plane, Magic Bullet and Robotic Empire we putting out "the soundtrack of my life" in my late teens. The predecessor bands like Swing Kids, Antioch Arrow, Indian Summer and Heroin would be cool to hear about as well.

I saw Job For A Cowboy in 2007 at SOTU. I slept through the whole set.

100% Motion City and Something Corporate/Andrew McMahon ❤❤❤ love love love ❤️❤️❤️

Forever the Sickest Kids and Cash Cash had albums produced by Matt Mahaffey of the 90s alternative band Self. Regardless of the content of the music, I feel like anything production wise Matt touches turns into audio gold. Sounds so good

Yeah!!!

I actually like JOBFORACOWBOY's fourth studio album, Sun Eater. At first I didn't like it like most fans and only really liked two songs (The Synthetic Sea and Buried Monuments) but after listening to and absorbing many technical death metal bands over the years like Blood Incantation, Rings of Saturn, Arsis, The Faceless, Revocation and my personal favorite Death (especially their later stuff, Human and onward), it grew on me. JFAC as well as The Red Chord are still one of my favorite deathcore/deathcore adjacent bands of all times.

Thanks for talking about something corporate. I was a fan in the early 2000s when they were gaining momentum. Then they suddenly vanished
