<p>the academy is ("slow down," "black mamba"), senses fail ("buried a lie," "you're cute when you scream"), hellogoodbye, cute is what we aim for (my fav is "newport living" and "risque")
and somepeople find it annoying but i really like all american rejects, i dont care if they're really mainstream! haha. "top of the world" and "it ends tonights" are my favorites.
Oh and Jimmy Eat World. Some good songs from them are "polaris," "23" and "kill" (not a violent song, despite the name)</p>
