A soundtrack to youth that combines nostalgia and punk rock.
The album reached number 24 on the US charts and included a worldwide hit cover of Don Henley's "The Boys of Summer." It retains the energy of their indie days while offering a more refined, melodic punk sound.
This album is a symbol of the 2000s punk scene, where these indie scene darlings exploded with talent on the major stage. From driving punk numbers to epic songs featuring strings, the single-minded passion embodied in every note is a love letter to all adults who cherish "those days." By the time you finish listening to this masterpiece, you'll be filled with radiant emotion.
