Comments:

In extreme premature preparation for Warped Tour's final lineup this summer, I'm listening to Trash Boat!

The album's opening song 'Strangers' ft. Soupy Campbell from The Wonder Years captivated me right off the bat. 'Tring Quarry' and 'Second Wind' are total pop punk headbangers, but my personal favorite is 'Catharsis'. This one stole my soul with lyrics like, "Life fucks me up sometimes, but I don't wanna miss it", "Life will eat you if you let it", and "This earth will never know my knees".

I'm considering a tattoo of lyrics from this song - I am that serious.

Nothing I Write You Can Change What You've Been Through discusses everything from broken relationships and the effects of divorce on young children to broken psyches and coming to grips with even the darkest aspects of yourself as an adult.

Trash Boat is definitely a band worth checking out if you love the pop punk genre and all the heartache that comes with it!
