![]() Those were the years I got into screamo so I never looked back at skate or pop punk after that. After this the band took a hiatus for two years, came back in 2002 and just never hit the same note with me with the exception of ' Blaze'. I chose " Eat Your Words" from this "EP" because it shows a side of the band, much like Osker's transformation, that matured from punk into more than decent songwriters and musicians. The aforementioned ' Let's Talk About Leftovers' comp included 7 tracks that were originally destined for an EP or something, which was eventually shelved and the songs leeched their way onto this comp, which I think is unfortunate as it would have been among the band's strongest work. The LP is now probably my favourite proper release by the band, as almost every song is amazing. His lyrics, although silly at times, were generally pretty darn good. The vocals from here on out have some really good hooks - like, some really really good hooks. It took me awhile to realize how mature and well-structured the songs were - like, after a decade or so, and also picked up on the emo side the band was grazing along, most likely led by Joey Cape. Following ' Hoss' was ' Double Pladinum' which I would label as the band's flailing attempt at stability during a key member change, but this was followed by another fantastic album titled ' Let's Talk About Feelings' which dropped pretty much all metal and focused on an emo-tinged skate punk with nods instrumentally to Foo Fighters. This perfection and then abandonment of their Fat-Wreck, skate/pop-punk style was most likely due to Shawn Dewey leaving the band to start Buck Wild, which I have to leave for yet another review. This continued until ' Hoss', what is (or, at least, was for a long time) in my opinion the band's crowning achievement. They quickly shifted to skate-punk with metallic influences. They started out as more of a metal band than a punk band, which is chronicled on the ' Let's Talk About Leftovers' LAGWAGON compilation. Their name is derived from the nickname that they gave their first tour van, I believe. LAGWAGON were (are?) a skate punk band from Goleta, California. LAGWAGON were a band I got into back in.grade 9, so.13? They were on the 'Survival of the Fattest' compilation that was truly my proper introduction into "punk", which I picked up for the NOFX song "Vincent", but that's another review. įor fans of: Bad Astronaut, NOFX, No Use For A Name, Ten Foot Pole, Osker, Foo Fighters, Satanic Surfers, Millencolin, Pulley, Guttermouth and The Ataris.
