Rise Against - The Unraveling

While growing up as a kid from Illinois who loved melodic hardcore, I absolutely loved 88 Fingers Louie. My best friend Joey and I ate them up, as evidenced by a home video of Joey dancing/bedroom moshing along to a song of theirs. So when they broke up, we were both sad, but anxious to hear their new band. I remember specifically pre-ordering "The Unraveling" by Rise Against and going apeshit when it finally came out. I even saw them play one of their first shows opening up for Thursday, The Movielife, and Boy Sets Fire at the original Creepy Crawl in St. Louis. Soon after that, they probably weren't too happy with me when seeing them at a basement show in Carbondale (I can't remember if it was at Lost Cross or 303 Elm), and me yelling at them to play Everchanging every single song. I even yelled at them to play it again after they finally did close the set out with it. Goddamn, I love that song.
