Interview with Fountains

This Is Pop Punk Promotions with an interview with fountains, fountains is a pop punk band from germany. You can grab there EP here! https://www.facebook.com/wearefountains/app_204974879526524
Interview by: Branden Whitehead 



What has fountains been up to in the past months?
We've been writing songs for our EP and playing quite a lot. We really put a lot of heart in this upcoming release and changed a lot of things. All the songs on this EP sounded completely different when we first wrote them. We changed a lot until we all considered them as ready for being on our new EP.


Where are you guys from and what is your hometown?
We're all from Mönchengladbach, Germany and it's suburbs. You may have not heard of this city before but Nirvana played their first European show here.


how did your band come together?
We all played in various bands together before. Four of us played in a band called 'Less Than Average' and the band's name described our music very well. We sucked and wanted to do something new, maybe start over. We founded Fountains in November 2012 and asked Sven, a good friend of ours to play bass. That's how we got together. We're just a bunch of kids trying to have fun and we're best friends. 

what should we expect to see from fountains in the next few months? (shows,tour,recording)?
Our new EP 'Souvenirs'! It will be out on September 20th via Acuity.Music and we really can't wait to finally get some feedback on the songs we've been writing for the past few months. We also will have a busy schedule when it comes to playing shows in October. And we've got big plans when it comes to touring in 2014. We wanted to do Europe in spring and things are slowly getting started. We haven't really toured yet so we're really looking forward to this experience. I think this has been our dream since we're kids and we really want to make it true!


what type of music would you say you play?
I'd say we play Pop Punk. I wouldn't say we're a typical pop punk band though. We're trying to bring all of our influences together. Every member of Fountains adds his own style to the band and we're not trying to sound like 'that band'. We're just writing songs we enjoy and we also think that some other people might enjoy them as well. 

how long have you played in a band together? 
We've been playing in Fountains since November 2012. Before that we used to play in various shitty bands.


How's the scene in Germany
I think it really depends on the town you live in. Some cities here have a really cool scene and others don't. I think it's okay. There's more people getting into pop punk at the moment but we don't have a real scene over here. But we have some great upcoming bands here at the moment. If you've got the time you should definitely check out our buddies in Storyteller, In Tradition and FiftyFour Planets. They're definitely worth it!


How has the recording process been?

It was really cool. Simon Yildirim, who plays drums in We Set The Sun produced, mastered and recorded it. He's a good friend and a really chill guy so everything went smoothly. Simon was a big help because he's a musician himself and knew what sound we wanted to achieve. We talked a lot in advance so we could directly start over in the studio and wouldn't waste any time. We had a lot of fun and also had a day-off to clear our minds and think about something else. It was awesome to see all the different parts of the EP come together and finally hear what it will sound like when it's recorded.

what's different about your new ep compared to your first one?

I think it's more serious. We wanted to let the people know what we've been through in this past year. We all had to learn what growing up means and reflected a lot of things that happened in the past. We also tried to look at them from another perspective. I think we tried to do the same thing with our old EP and this one is a follow-up. We also changed our style a little bit. We always wanted to sound like this and we finally do. This makes me very happy.

Why should people listen to your music?

I always feel better when I'm not the only one with certain problems and I think that some other people will feel the same way about this.

If you could play a dream show with 5 bands, who would it be?

For me it would be blink-182, The Story So Far, Forever Came Calling, Real Friends and Four Year Strong. 

what bands are currently inspiring you?

I think we're all huge fans of The Story So Far. We always listen to them when we're in the car together and sing along. But we all listen to different bands when we're at home. I think this is cool because everyone's vision of how a song should sound like is different.

what's the best part about being in your band?

I think it's the fact that we're best friends and not just musicians working together.

how did your band's name come about?

Our song 'Moving On' was called 'Fountains' when we first wrote it. We were writing songs for our new band back then and didn't have a name. We've been down because our old band broke up and we wanted to be at the top again. Just like a fountain. It was the perfect metaphor for our situation because we wanted to be a part of something new, something that we love. Also, life is full of ups and downs and we thought that this is exactly what makes it special. So we thought that 'Fountains' would be the right name for our new band because it actually had a meaning and didn't just sound cool.


Is there anything else you would like to say or mention?

Our new EP 'Souvenirs' is coming out very soon and we really would like you to check it out. We put a lot of heart in these songs and they mean the world to us. | Don't drink and drive.

Interview with Knuckle Puck

This Is Pop Punk Promotions with a special interview featuring Knuckle Puck.
Interview by: Branden Whitehead

Knuckle Puck is a Chicago based pop punk band, make sure to check them out and show these guys some love. You can get their music here! http://knucklepuck.bandcamp.com/


TIPPP- How long have you guys been a band and how did you form?
KP- We've been a band for almost 3 years now, but have only been serious about it since the release of Don’t Come Home last October. We started out just jamming in John's bedroom and after recording a demo we decided to take our songs to an actual studio.


TIPPP- Where's your home town and how's your local scene?
KP- The four of us are spread out in different suburbs surrounding Chicago, and we all grew up in the Chicagoland area. The scene isn't terrible, but not as big as I wish it was. Definitely a lot of noteworthy bands to check out such as Droughts, No Regrets, High Point, Ryan Rumchaks, and Real Friends to name a few.


TIPPP- How was the release for your last ep?
KP- Way better than any of us ever expected that's for sure. It was only 3 songs long (4 including the B-side) and kids really seemed to dig it enough to establish us as a band. This time around with the release of The Weight That You Buried was even further beyond any of our expectations.


TIPPP- What has knuckle puck been up to in the past few months?
KP- Writing has taken over the majority of our lives for the past year. We completed our first tour in June with Seaway and Bellwether, and are currently planning to be a part of a few more in the coming months.


TIPPP- What can we expect to see in the future from knuckle puck?
KP- More musixxx, more touring, and weight gain due to stress.


TIPPP- What would you Guys say is your biggest success band wise?
KP- The release of our EP The Weight That You Buried. The entire process of creating those four songs was the most strenuous experience of my life. I think the four of us can all agree that it shows in the songs as well. We've never had such a positive and supportive reaction from listeners, and we want to thank everyone for keeping our band afloat in ANY way, whether that be buying a shirt, or simply listening and showing their friends.


TIPPP- What has been your favorite place you've seen on the road?
KP- Probably Times Square or just New York in general.


TIPPP- Craziest thing that has happened to you guys on the road?
KP- Nick was on a hot streak at a casino in Atlantic City, but ended up losing more money than he'd care to disclose.


TIPPP- The best show you've ever played?
KP- Probably the hometown show we played at Centennial Lanes in August of last year. That show is the reason our band still exists. Thank you to anyone who was there and sang along. It allowed us to see clearly.


TIPPP- The worst show you guys have ever played?
KP- The one where we drove two hours with two fill-ins to a "fest" and played to an empty room. But we got to chill with a homeless dude who ended up soiling himself so it wasn't a total bust.


Alright a break from the serious questions.


TIPPP- If you had to fight a lion or a shark? Go.
KP- A lion because he'd probably be down to blaze. Sharks can't because water.


TIPPP- Would you prefer an alien invasion or a zombie apocalypse?
KP- Both at the same time so I could just chill in a UFO and show the aliens Creed while the zombies ate my shitty neighbors that live across the street from me.


TIPPP- Alright we've all made plans Just in case a zombie apocalypse does happen. How would you guys fight them off?
KP- Project a Nicolas Cage movie marathon from my roof onto my shitty neighbors' front lawn.


TIPPP- The funniest prank you've pulled on each other?
KP- One time we made Kevin think that John was his dad for like an entire year.


TIPPP- Who in the band is the most grumpy?
KP- Nick.


TIPPP- Do you have any advice to local bands who are trying to "make it"?
KP- Lots and lots of breakdowns.


TIPPP- Was it hard getting to the point in your career that your at now?
KP- Absolutely. I think I speak for all of us when I say that this is the happiest we've ever been with our lives. That doesn't come without hard work and plenty of frustration.


TIPPP- Describe the whole history of the band
KP- One big 420 disaster


TIPPP- What are 5 local bands that you think deserve more exposure and respect?
KP- Priorities
Bellwether
Capstan
High Point
Ryan Rumchaks

Interview with Good Times Gone

This is pop punk promotions with an interview featuring Good Times Gone.
Interviewed by: Branden Whitehead

  Good times gone is a Rock n' Roll band from Mokena Illinois, you can check out their music here!  http://www.smarturl.it/Battlelines

TIPPP- How long has Good times gone been a band? And where are you guys from?
GTG- We've been a band for a little over 5 months. But we're not unfamiliar with the local scene as both of us have come from pre-established bands around here. So with that we were able to gain 1,500+ fans in such little time.
TIPPP- How did the members of GTG come together to form the band?
GTG- Well I was from a band called Jaded for 5 years and when we kind of went 'inactive' for lack of a better word, I wanted to start a new project. Steve had been doing the solo thing for a while so I came to him and asked if he'd like to be a part of my new band idea. He quickly said yes because he always wanted to work with me at that point so I only found it fitting!
TIPPP- What type of music would you say you play? And what makes it different and sets you aside as unique from other bands?
GTG- We've decided to just call us Rock n' Roll. But if you wanted to be technical, I think Garage Punk Rock works too. It's like if you took the 90's greats Green Day and Foo Fighters, and threw in some old school rock like Chuck Berry and The Kinks. It's a sound that really isn't too popular around local Chicago which is why I love it. We still technically fit into the pop punk category, but it's not like all the other pop punk. Everyone (in my opinion) seems to want to sound like The Wonder Years, or The Story So Far or something like that where to me, it's really all starting to blend together locally. If anything we take you back to 90's pop punk.

TIPPP- How has the release been going for your new EP Battlelines?
GTG- It's been awesome. Everything we've heard so far has been positive reviews. I think 7/10 has been the lowest it's gotten. Digitally it's doing really well and as far as physical copies, we ordered about 50 of them to sell and by the time our CD release-ish show happened 3 days later, we already sold 20 of them. Small numbers compared to professional bands but for us that's a huge honor to be able to have people enjoy our music on CD especially in the age of pirating and digital downloads.
TIPPP- What are your plans for the future as a band?
GTG- I want this band to be one of the biggest bands on the planet.
TIPPP- What has GTG been up to in the past few months? (Shows,tour,recording)?
GTG- Well we've really played shows and wrote/recorded 'Battlelines'. We've played I think 9 shows since April and that will continue on further. Most of the shows we've played actually have been bigger shows. Nothing less than 50 people it's pretty awesome. We've also had the honor of playing with New Found Glory, Cartel, You Me and Everyone We Know, as well as some other kick ass local bands. It's really been a great way to start off the new band.

TIPPP- What can we expect to see from GTG in the future? (Shows,tour,recording)?
GTG- We actually just are focusing on live shows at the moment. If you're into pure rock and roll you should really come out to see us one day. Pay close attention to our facebook page @ facebook.com/goodtimesgoneil to find out when we'll be playing around you. But our next BIG show is in Milwaukee at the Rave November 1st with Mayday Parade, Man Overboard and Cartel. It's really going to be a kick ass show.
TIPPP- When the band plays live do you have live members or is it just the two of you?
GTG- Me and Steve are the only 2 official members at the moment. We've gone through a few drummers including my old bands drummer for the summer Mike, who has played the majority of the shows with us and did the drums on the EP. He recently went back to school so we're kinda in the search of a permanent drummer but we have a few in mind!
TIPPP- What has been your favorite show that you guys have played?
GTG- Our favorite would probably have to be one of our show at Centennial Lanes in Tinley Park, IL. It was probably in front of 80-100 people and just everything was awesome. We had a circle slow dance pit, where we got fans to open a pit but instead of moshing, we had them slow dance with a partner. It was during one of the Stanley Cup games, so we played a snippet of Chelsea Dagger. What was fun about that is then 10 minutes later I asked if there was a score yet, I was told no. So I then shouted "well go hawks!". Right after I said that they scored the first goal so we played Dagger again and the fans went nuts. People screamed back the words to Green Day's Basket Case to us when we covered it. It was just a great atmosphere.
TIPPP- Your least favorite show?
GTG- I really don't think we have a least favorite show yet. All of the shows we've played have gone really well and not many bad things have happened. Not to sound like I'm tooting my own horn, because all bands have that one bad day, but luckily we haven't had ours yet!
TIPPP- What's the bands favorite thing to do outside of music?
GTG- More than likely we'll be eating pizza. From Nonnas. Or Beggars.
TIPPP- Is there anything else you would like to mention or say?

GTG- Be sure to check out Battlelines if you haven't already! It's got a little bit of everything! From pop punk, to rock and roll, to a piano ballad and a bit of doo-whop! You can get it online at Itunes, Amazon, Spotify, really any of the big digital retailers for just $5! Also be sure to come check us out in Milwaukee with Mayday Parade November 1st, 2013! We won't disappoint you!

Interview with Real Friends


This is Pop Punk Promotions with a special interview with Real Friends, Real friends is a pop punk band from Chicago Illinois. Make sure to grab their music here! 
http://www.realfriends.bandcamp.com/
Interview by: Branden Whitehead

TIPPP- How long has real friends been a band and where are you guys from?
 Real Friends- We have been a band for about two and a half years and we're from the south suburbs of Chicago.
TIPPP- What was the inspiration for the band to start?
 Real Friends- We all came from different bands and just wanted something that was fun to do that we could take seriously, but not too serious.
TIPPP- How was the crowd response from warped?
 Real Friends- It was awesome. Way better than we had hoped. We played the west coast dates, which was great because we haven't been able to hit those areas as much as we'd like
TIPPP- Did you prefer playing warped or the opportunity to headline a tour?
 Real Friends- Both are a lot of fun, but I would say warped tour. There aren't any boundaries, any kind of band can play and any band that plays has the potential to play to all sorts of different kids that normally wouldn't see them. To me that's fucking awesome.
TIPPP- What was the response like for your new EP “Put yourself back together”?
 Real Friends- It's awesome. We are very lucky to have people that continue to support what we do. It means a lot to be establishing this relationship with our fanbase, we've been given a lot of great opportunities because of them.
TIPPP- What song as a group do you pride yourselves the most for writing?
 Real Friends- Personally, I think that the softer songs we do usually stand out more. We have one called Hebron and another called I've Given Up on You that are a lot different than what we normally write. I like that we're able to make songs like that.
TIPPP- In the past year you guys have made a ton of progress as a band, did you ever expect it to get this big so fast?
 Real Friends- The fact that anybody gives a shit about our music in the first place is awesome. None of us saw any of this coming, it's a very humbling experience
TIPPP- Any hints we can expect in the coming year, tours, new music, etc.?
 Real Friends- We just started writing for a full length and we will be announcing a fall tour soon. We also have a UK tour lined up in November with The Wonder Years and Neck Deep. Really excited for that.
TIPPP- What’s the bands favorite thing to do on off days?
 Real Friends- Depending on where we are we'll drive somewhere and meet up with other bands on the tour or we'll get coffee and people watch at a mall.
TIPPP- What's the best and worse show you have ever played?
 Real Friends- One of the best shows we've ever played was at a bowling alley in our area for the release of Put Yourself Back Together, great crowd and a night we definitely will never forget. As for the worst show, I don't even know. We played in Grand Rapids about two years ago at a place called Mixtape. Nobody showed up and I wasn't necessarily on top of my game at that show. Luckily whenever we play in Grand Rapids now it's a great time. I love Michigan.
TIPPP- Favorite place that you guys have visited on tour?
 Real Friends- I love Cambridge and Philly. San Francisco and San Diego are awesome too, same with Michigan.
TIPPP- What’s the weirdest thing that has ever happened to you guys on tour?
 Real Friends- The last time we played in Philly we were throwing dice behind the venue and some random homeless person showed up and asked to get in on the game and ended up winning about three to four games in a row and took all of our money.
TIPPP- What were your musical inspirations when the band first started?
 Real Friends- When the band started we had more of a pop rock influence in the music. We were listening to a lot of bands like You Me and Everyone We Know and Hellogoodbye.
TIPPP- How did all the members come together to start the band?
 Real Friends- We all used to play in other local bands and became friends so we thought we'd get together. Our old drummer quit after our first EP so we had Brian and Eric come play with us.
TIPPP- What are your favorite current bands?
 Real Friends- I've been listening to The Starting Line nonstop, but other than that I'm a huge fan of both Citizen's Youth and TWIABP's Whenever, If Ever. Our friends in Knuckle Puck also just finished recording a new EP that is killer.
TIPPP- What would each of you be doing if you were not in real friends today?
 Real Friends- We would all just be working our old shitty jobs and probably going to school, nothing too crazy.
TIPPP- Do you have any advice for small bands that are trying to “make it”?
 Real Friends- Work hard. Don't expect to make money. If you want something, you will have to make sacrifices for it. Nothing is ever handed to you.
TIPPP- Was it hard getting to the point in your career that you are now?
 Real Friends- I think so. We all worked shit jobs to pay for merch, recording, etc. and spent countless hours in Kyle's basement piecing together each song to make sure we give it our all.
TIPPP- What is your favorite fast food to eat while on the road?
 Real Friends-Taco Bell and Waffle House
TIPPP- What are 5 small local bands that you think should earn more recognition?
       Real Friends- Knuckle Puck, Droughts, Glaciers, She's alive, Ship captain crew

Interview with Hollow Tides

Hollow Tides is a melodic punk band from Tampa bay florida, check their tunes out here! http://hollowtides.bandcamp.com


This Is Pop Promotions with an interview with Hollow Tides
Interview by: Branden Whitehead



TIPPP- When did your band Hollow Tides first form and how long have you been a band?
Cody Travis (Vocals/Guitar) - "Early summer of 2013 is when we all got together to start learning songs and practicing together as a band. We released our first set of songs and played our first show in July of 2013"
TIPPP- Where are you guys located from?
CT - We're scattered throughout the 727/813 area... We just tell people we're from "Tampa Bay" even though that's technically a body of water lol
TIPPP- How has the release for your new EP Overly Honest gone so far?
Chris Evering (Bass/Vocals) - "We've been getting a lot of awesome feedback from everyone since we released the EP. Which is great because we didn't really know how people would react to our sound...it song lengths lol"
TIPPP- How would you describe the type of music you play as a band?
CT - "I think that's a hard question to answer, one of the things we really focus on is not trying to get stuck in one specific genre per say. Instead, we try to blend a multitude of different genres to create a sound that we think is unique to us and our band. To put it simply, we play rock music. We like to play fast, we like to play hard and we like people getting involved with the music (especially live) so we do our best to be energetic and driving."
TIPPP- What are your views on getting signed?
CT - "dude, fuck a record label...."
TIPPP- Also what are your views on the music scene lately?
CE - "The Florida scene has always been pretty sweet, and its only growing. A lot bands are coming out of the wood work and showing their worth in spades! We're definitely excited to be apart of it and to see where it goes from here."
TIPPP- What has Hollow Tides recently been up to (shows,tour,recording, etc.)?
CT - "Right now we're practicing to really polish our live set. We're promoting our first EP we just released, and also working on new material."
TIPPP- Should we expect anything upcoming from Hollow Tides in the next few months?
CT - "Even though we just released our debut EP a few weeks ago, we're already working on some new material. Also get ready for some sick merch. We're gonna first record the new songs acoustically so everyone can learn them and sing along, but we'll also be playing live versions of the songs at shows (non acoustic), so get ready for circle pits and stage dives!! We're currently in the market for a van so we can jump on the road and start making new friends in new cities across the US. We're extremely stoked with the amount of people who like our music because we had no idea how it would be received, and we want to continue to get people to hear our music."
TIPPP- What do you think sets Hollow Tides apart from most bands and makes you unique?
CT - "In my opinion what sets us apart from most bands is our unique blend of different musical influences. We're really hard working and also determined to get our music out and make an impression on as many people as possible. We're not worried about choreography or lame outfits like a lot of bands these days. The music being put out in the last few years has really taken a turn for the worst in my opinion and instead of being a way to relate and express your emotions, it's become something different entirely. It's sad to be honest, but we stand for what music should be...energy and emotion, it might not necessarily be what sets us apart from other bands, but it's what I feel separates us from most modern music in general."
TIPPP- Is there anything else you would like to add or mention?
CT - "I'd really like to take the time to say that it would mean a lot to all of us in the band if you could take the time out of your day to download our free EP(http://hollowtides.bandcamp.com). We put a lot of work and financial resources driving back and forth to Ocala to create an EP we felt we wanted people to hear. Thousands invested and now we're putting it out FOR FREE.... We had a great time recording the songs in the studio, and hopefully you as a listener can feel that energy in the recordings. We want to see you guys at our shows singing along and getting reckless because it shows us, as a band, that we've left our mark and you felt that you could share that particular experience with us. The best way to stay in the loop about shows is facebook.com/hollowtides. You could be anywhere, but you're here with us? That's badass

Interview with To The Floor

This is Pop Punk Promotions with an interview with To The FLoor
Interview by: Branden Whitehead

TIPPP- How would you describe the type of music you play?

C.J.: I think Ford would agree with me on this. We sort of mix the best elements of pop, pop-rock, pop-punk, and hardcore into our band. If you are a fan of any of these genres there is something for you to enjoy in our music. I think at our base we are a pop-punk band but it’s so much more explorative than that.
Ford: I would agree with that. You are correct.
Michael: We’re like an all you can eat buffet. We’ve recently been enjoying the Cici’s Pizza buffet and that really describes us a band. Except for the salad part because people who eat the salad at a Pizza buffet are not to be trusted (CJ).

TIPPP- Where is your hometown and how did To The Floor come together as a band?

C.J.: Well as a band we are pretty diverse in terms of where our members are from. The band’s hometown is definitely Gloucester, but I’m from Yorktown and J.T. (our drummer) is from Norfolk. Both Ford and Michael live in Gloucester though and we practice there so we consider it our home base so to speak.
Michael: A lot of our songs reference our home of Gloucester and its kind of become an inside joke at this point where everything we do is all about Gloucester or Fords house (Freeport).
Ford: Freeport is my turf yo.

TIPPP- How long has TTF been a band?

C.J.: It’s been about 6 months now.
Michael: Or 3 and a half dog years.

TIPPP- How have your past releases gone, for Calypso & This how we live?

Michael: Well this was slightly before I was in the band but we released them on Youtube and for Free download. They were met with positive reactions from people for the most part. We actually went and redid both songs recently with our new members. They sound even sicker now.

TIPPP- Should we be looking for anything upcoming from TTF in the next few months?

Michael: Our debut EP “FREep” will be coming out August 24th for Free download. We’ll also be shooting and releasing a music video in the coming months. We’re trying to set up a few mini tours in the coming months also. We’re just all around trying to accomplish as much as we can.
JT- We’ve also been trying to explore our ways to perform for people. We just started playing more quiet, personal acoustic sessions. We play a huge amount of cover songs (ranging from All Time Low to Poison) as well as our original songs. To this date, we’ve only had one of these performances but it went really well and it was a lot of fun.
Ford: More youtube covers!

TIPPP- There is a unique spin in your song Calypso when Big E comes in that most bands do not incorporate, what was the thought process behind this and the motive to place it in your song?

C.J.: I remember Ford coming to me and telling me that he thought it would be really cool to have a rapper in one of our songs. At the time we were recording Calypso and I thought it would be cool to see if we could pull it off. I made the samples for that part the same day Big E came into the studio.
Ford: I’ve known Big E since kindergarten and we’ve been talking about doing a song together since high school. I was literally walking through the halls at our college and it hit me that the time had come. As for the band, we wanted our first single to establish our genre, and then we wanted our second single to show how interestingly we can expand on that genre and push it to the limits. We want to always keep our listeners on their toes.

TIPPP- What has To The Floor been up to in the past few months (shows,tour,recording, etc.)

C.J.: Well we’ve initiated a series of videos we call “To The Floor Fridays” which I’m pretty stoked about, and we’ve been hard at work playing lots of local shows. The videos are really our way of getting into the YouTube market. We also have our first E.P. coming out relatively soon, and it’s my first E.P. ever so that’s really exciting.
Michael: We’ve basically been trying to develop our sound and live show as much as possible while still doing the online aspect as well. Its been crazy losing and gaining members and still maintaining momentum but somehow we’re managing to do that.
Ford: Definitely lots of pizza. Which means lots of shows.

TIPPP- What would you say puts your band aside from others that makes you unique?
C.J.: I mean I can’t speak for anyone else but I definitely don’t try to sound like anybody but me when I sing and write music. All of our music comes from experiences that we’ve had. It’s all homegrown, and I think that’s what makes us different.
Michael: We just wanna have fun and write the best possible music we can. We’re not looking to fit into a certain genre or have a specific look. We wanna be that band that even if you don’t really dig our music you can still have some fun with us. We have a little bit of something for everyone so it makes us stand apart from other bands.
Ford: To me, the most unique thing about us is that we don’t let the poppy/heavy split limit us but instead use it to write songs limitations of “too heavy” or “too poppy”. We just write music that we hope will get everybody’s boogie shoes going hard.

TIPPP- Is there anything else you would like to add or mention?

Michael: We play rock and roll. We’re from Gloucester. And the new shredded chicken
smothered burrito from Taco Bell is amazing.
JT- Michael lies. The new burrito kills your liver, stomach, and digestive system. Don’t try it.
Ford: Don’t run. Don’t walk. Fly. Subscribe to tothefloorband on youtube!
