    I had never heard anything by The Ataris before the first episode of Pepsi Smash a few weeks ago. Once I heard them live, I had to get their album, and I bought it the next day when I got my ear pierced. They're so much better live, it's unbelievable.

    Check them out, get "In This Diary," "The Saddest Song," "The Boys Of Summer" (a cover song), and "Summer '79." I think those are their best songs, but the whole album, so long, astoria, is outstanding.

    I've heard of The Ataris a couple of months ago and when I heard their single "In This Dairy", I knew I had to pick their album up.

    I went to Best Buy today and was going to buy their album but I realized I was a few bucks short. :argh: I was mad. :lol: Anyway, I have heard 5 songs off of it and I definitely want to get this album.

    Edit: Their cover of "Boys of Summer" rocks! They did an awesome job on it. ^_^

    When I heard of The Ataris, I had only heard In This Diary. Then I finally heard Boys of Summer on the first Pepsi SMASH episode. I was considering getting their album, but I wasn't sure, because they sound kinda pop-ish. Is it really that good?

    Pop? WTF.

    Pop doesn't have guitars. :rolleyes:

    They're punk rock, and they're the heaviest (besides Finch) I've heard.

    :mellow: They are? Well, I didn't mean bubblegum-pop, it just kinda sounded a little bit like pop. But I guess if it's punk rock, I'll take your word for it. I guess I'll just ask my friend if I can burn it.

    It's only $9.99 at fye.com and at the normal store.

    You need to listen to more punk rock.

    Yeah, The Ataris are nowhere near Thrice, or even NOFX.

    They sound pretty good. I just recently started getting into a little punk, not as much as I am into rock.
