cwhitmuzik Posted March 29, 2014 Author Share Posted March 29, 2014 Dave is probably the best singer in the genre. He's gotten so much better since the early days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Out Of Time Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 Dave is probably the best singer in the genre. He's gotten so much better since the early days. Dave's voice is really good but Matty from A Loss For Words or Derek from State Champs are on top of the genre... The Saint 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cwhitmuzik Posted March 29, 2014 Author Share Posted March 29, 2014 Dave's voice is really good but Matty from A Loss For Words or Derek from State Champs are on top of the genre... Those are the other two I considered. An easy top three. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brock N Roll Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 Dave's voice is really good but Matty from A Loss For Words or Derek from State Champs are on top of the genre... I agree. Live and on record I'd put those two at 1 and 2 respectively. I've probably seen fireworks 25-30 times around the Midwest. I put on shows for them around central Illinois way back in the day and I can honestly say that Dave's voice has always been god awful live.

I saw them with the Wonder Years last year and he sounded amazing, so much so that I was disappointed in TWY by comparison. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah every time I've seen them he's been awful. Still super fun shows though. To clarify, Fireworks are definitely one of my favorite bands. I don't want people thinking I'm just saying that to ruffle some feathers haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seamoney Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 I haven't seen a show of theirs in a while where Dave didn't sound A+. Until around 2010-2011 he could be all over the place but he's been rock solid every time I've seen him since. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Princess Logan Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 Finally got this in and I'm so excited. Though, I can never commit to where I want to put stickers. I almost put one on my laptop and then immediately regretted it. Now it's haphazardly back on the sheet. I'll probably end up just treating them like they're a lyric sheet.

Did you book the show at the Morton American Legion in March of 2010? If so, thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brock N Roll Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 Did you book the show at the Morton American Legion in March of 2010? If so, thanks. I helped with it yeah! Fun show. Sad that that was the last time they came to central illinois. They used to come like 4 times a year or so. Fun fact: I actually discovered The Wonder Years by putting on a fireworks show in Peoria. They brought TWY out on what was their first actual tour outside of the northeast. It was outside behind the peoria river plex. TWY played right before fireworks and were awesome. Then fireworks set up to play and the first song they were going to play was "From Mountain Movers to Lazy Losers". 10 seconds into the song right before the gang vocals that go "We're Holding On" , they cut the power on us and shut the show down and kicked everybody out because they had a strict 10PM rule. Luckily one of the kids in attendance, his parents owned the Planet X roller rink in Pekin and let us move the show to there. There was about 30-40 of us who caravanned over there.

Yeah, that Morton show was a blast. I convinced my family to cut our vacation a day short so I could make it, and I've never once regretted it. I wish I had known about their earlier shows in the area. I've definitely heard the stories about that TWY/Fireworks show before. Makes me wish I had gotten involved in that scene sooner.

TheMoosen Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 Just picked up my copy from HT last night. Cannot wait to spin it hopefully tomorrow. Also if anyone is in the northeast Ohio area. The HT at Chapel Hill had a few copies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hipsterasfolk Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 Spinning this now, I can def dig it Def a lot more appealing than the last album...... that tooth song. Just picked up my copy from HT last night. Cannot wait to spin it hopefully tomorrow. Also if anyone is in the northeast Ohio area. The HT at Chapel Hill had a few copies. When did they start carrying vinyl? Last time I went there, they said they didn't have any albums....then again that was probably awhile ago!

Last time I went there, they said they didn't have any albums....then again that was probably awhile ago! Just recently. I had no idea they were until Travis posted a list of stores carrying an album (maybe this one?) and I was shocked to see Chapel Hill was on there. When I picked up a copy I talked to a guy there and he said they are getting rid of all of their cds and only carrying vinyl. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ive been in Kent for farrrrrrr too long which is why I go to Chapel Hill more often than not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Princess Logan Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 For anyone around the area, Young Ones has one copy of the EP left. They're only allowing one per customer, so I wasn't able to pick up an extra copy. If you're around the area and don't want it, you should still go pick it up and give it to a board member that needs it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jonochuu Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 Has anyone managed to get ahold of that acoustic bonus disc yet? I checked my local independent record store for it the other day, but they didn't have it. I can't get enough of this album and I really wanna hear those tracks!
