Wow! I love them.. just downloaded a few songs and didn't like it too much but checked out their official site http://www.somethingcorporate.com and fell in love with the song Hurricane in their AOL session.. love the infusion of piano & guitar! :love:

They're awesome. Konstantine is still their best song, but their album Leaving Through The Window is full of incredible songs as well. I especially like Hurricane, I Woke Up In A Car and Punk Rock Princess.

There's nothing better than a man that can play the guitar with his feet. They're pure talent...they can only get better.
I faced death. I went in with my arms swinging. But I heard my own breath and had to face that I'm still living. I'm still flesh. I hold on to awful feelings. I'm not dead... My chest still draws breath. I hold it. I'm buoyant. There's no end.

i heard they suck live but i wouldn't know if that's true or not
we are the brand new beatniks. we are the down and outers.
we are the bleeding hearts, beating syncopated, broken rhythm.
our speed is often break neck. we need to slow it down.
tired of being sleepless. tired of being broken.

Alan = stupid. I meant to say he can play the piano with his feet. It would be impossible to play the guitar with your feet.

What's even better about SoCo is that they're coming to Holland soon. March 27th in the Melkweg in Amsterdam (same place as were OLP played). They opened there for New Found Glory last year, but I missed that show, but I certainly won't let that happen again. Can't wait to see them live, I love their album, so if they're even better live I'm gonna have a great night.

*shameless promotion starts*

Something Corporate recently toured with the Juliana Theory, which is also an extremely good band. Check out, "Into the Dark", and "If I Told You This Was Killing Me would You Stop" for starters.

lol. nice plugging. I'll download one of them in a few.

I haven't heard much by Something Corporate...but you guys are always talking about them so I though, y'know. Anyways....what I've heard = good. I'm currently listening to "I Kissed A Drunk Girl". Which, it has to be said, is an interesting choice for a song title...

I think it's ok :iamaloser:

I have to ask...does anyone happen to know what song theyre releasing over here now? It was on MTV2 today. I watched the video (had no idea who it was) and decided I liked it. I read the title and thought "must remember that".

Naturally, I've forgotten.

I saw soco with Juliana Theory last week. I thought they were awesome. Especially the piano on fire. I liked Fiction Plane (who opened for them). But nobody else did. Konstantine was awesome. And there's nothing more empowering than screaming "fuck you jordan!" at the top of your lungs with a few hundred other people. And I'm sure it would be even better if you know someone named Jordan. They sound great live. And if you want to know about that song, Andrew tells all. "Well, it was my junior year in high school..... and there was this girl..."

I was then to be part of the mystery,
to love and be loved. Let's just hope that is enough.
