Yeah I get that all the time with them. But I also get it with the Mr T Experience so...

I LOVE YOU MORE THAN TOAST, PEPE!

"but less than a staplegun"

well, obviously.

The Lawrence Arms and MTX in one place is too much awesome to deal with

I think a Lawrence Arms / Against Me! / Flatliners show would be the best!

Maybe one day...

I didnt even notice that I live right next to the picture that is the cover of their Cocktails and Dreams album.

what an idiot.

It weird, i have listened to this band for years, but never really payed attention to anything other than Oh Calcutta. I missed out, really loving the band now i've taken the time to check out their older stuff. The Falcon as well, i have that album on at least three times a week.

I downloaded that album the day it leaked and listened to it about 12 times back to back. Never ceases to put a smile on my face, it's so upbeat!

Give my Devil's Takin' Names cover a listen!

well in my totally professional opinion, i like it! =P cool to hear that particular song more calmed down...

anyway, TLA are my favorite band still going. Quincentuple Your Money is where it's at.

Thank you.

the lawrence arms booze cruise back in the fall = fucking fantastic.

& my best nights always seem to end with me and my friends wasted and singing along to TLA.

Too right!

I bought Oh! Calcutta off of a whim looking at their Myspace and haven't regretted it even slightly. My only regret is being unable to find anything else by them to buy...

You should definitely by Cocktails & Dreams. Order it from Interpunk or Fat.

You must get Ghost Stories too.

I'm suprised there isn't a thread already about them!

They are still without a doubt my favourite band ever. Recently my music taste has been evolving, but the Larry Arms will always remain at the top stop. They were the first band I ever saw live, supporting Rise Against and Mad Caddies about 5 years ago.

I actually got this t-shirt in the post today, it's fucking sweeeeeet!



I love eBay.

Did you have this on for the Bristol Against me! show last night? I have the exact same shirt !

Lawrence arms are brilliant... I went to both the Mad caddies/Rise against/Flipsides London shows . At the small one,the Mad caddies gave out free beer tickets...Lawrence arms and free beer! BRILLIANT

It's a shame they won't be over here at least until the end of the year

Are you really The Gaslight Anthem?

No, I'm not.I realized shortly after signing up that it was a pretty silly/potentially misleading user name.

Hah yeah that was me, although I was lost in a sea of flannel shirts.

I went to one of those Caddies / Rise Against / Lawrence Arms shows in Cardiff. Awesome show!

Oh Calcutta! is a fine album

best they've ever put out!

First 4-5 songs on that are intense
