Weekend Warm-Up No. 8: Warped Tour Nostalgia

–Words and list by Michael Hogan

Excuse me while I have a moment here; this is a pure nostalgia trip. Some of these bands I haven’t even thought of, let alone listened to in years. When’s the last time you talked to someone about Story of the Year? But if you’re anything like me, these songs never really left you. You still know all the words, you can still remember the energy from these songs – as if it was only yesterday you were an angsty little ball of hormones draped in the latest Hot Topic fabrics, counting down the days until Warped Tour. So get your weekend started with a blast from the past teeming with admittedly melodramatic emotion that seemed just right when you were assuring your parents “it’s not just a phase, IT’S WHO I AM!”
