18 Year Old Huggie Just Keeps Getting Slapped In The Face By Bands From His Past…

I remember going to my first warped tour and not knowing what to expect at all. Imagine stuffing like 8 of your friends in a tiny Pontiac Sunfire, and coasting down the highway  blasting music from the bands that you plan to see at the show! Remember when (maybe it's just me)...anyway!

I remember pulling in the parking lot for like "Warped 2005" and seeing this huge sea of kids waiting in line! Becoming super excited, because this is the point in my life where I found out..."I'm not the only one".

Now there is always members of random bands walking the line trying to convince these kids to listen to their music, buy a cd, come watch my band. Some with passion, some with egos. I remember this one super nice dude, walked up to my group of friends and introduced himself "Hey dudes, I play in this band that playing the "Hurley Stage" at 2:15...come check us out!" he must of talked to us for like 45 minutes. This guy's name was Jake Bundrick (Drums and BGV for Mayday Parade).

This band slowly became one of my favorite bands.."A Lesson In Romantics" was the soundtrack for my highschool/college days...ill pop it in from time to time now-a-days! I am super excited to see that they have not let their passion get the best of them, and just recently put out a new record October 8th "Monster In The Closet"...These guys have grew as a band musically for sure!
