The wonders of the modern age! After asking about on 'teh interwebz', I finally found someone who has the Fat Kid Running EP. Fat Kid Running were a Cali Skate Punk band, and while they were not ground-breaking, they write some great, catchy, poppy punk tunes.
There is something strange about certain genres having their own 'place' in time. Maybe i'm weird, well...okay, i am weird, but modern skate punk bands doesn't do much for me. However, for some reason, some no-name, obscure band from the early 00's pop-punk/skate boom interests me.
Anyway, this band is pretty cool. It's like NOFX and No Use For A Name got dumped by their hoe-ass-bish's, listened to Hopesfall, came to the conclusion that life isn't all fun and games and decided to start playing minor chords a lot more. Throughout the record you will hear 'Fat Wreck' drumming, morose melodies, octave chords, cool riffs that sometimes harmonize, 'serious'/sad clean guitars, and melodic-i suppose 'whiny' vocals.
If you're looking for a 'fun' sounding band, maybe give these guys a miss. While on their official page it seems silly and fun, their actual sound is relatively down-beat. With that said, there are some good up-beat moments as well, so it's not all mondo-depresso.
