Rob

Incubus - "Make Yourself"

Mr. T

Mt. Joy - "Astrovan"

G-Man

Slipknot - "Everything Ends"

Every now and then I need to blast a song that matches my ire and violent urges. These days it seems more the norm than not, and i'm noticing that other people seemingly are on the same wavelength. Someday, like everything else, this pandemic will end, and I will post a song with tranquil and serene vibes as we celebrate a return to normalcy. Today is not that day however. Slipknot. Iowa. Track 5. Engage

Doug

Cake - "Satan Is My Motor"

Dano

Larkin Poe - "Blunt"

Jonny HP

Owl City - "This Isn't The End"

Mike D

A Day To Remember - "Paranoia"

J.B.

The Worst - "Man"

This is one hell of an obscure band with only one notable track that I could find. Pretty grim tune, but it's catchy as hell

Withstand Without Travel

 

Rob

Deftones - "Digital Bath"

Mr. T

The Mighty Mighty Bosstones - "The Impression That I Get"

G-Man

Supergrass - "St. Petersburg"

Supergrass are one of those bands that I only one, maybe two tracks by. Decided for some reason to do a deep dive on some of their other tracks and came up with a delightful fist full of tunes. "St. Petersburg" fit my mood today. Enjoy!

Doug

John Mayer - "Free Fallin'"

Dano

Death From Above 1979 - "Never Swim Alone"

Jonny HP

Liam Lynch - "United States Of Whatever"

Mike D

Presidents Of The United States Of America - "Peaches"

I had not heard this song before last week and now i've listened to it at least half a dozen times

J.B.

Consumed - "Bye Bye Fatman"

Centurion

Rob

Incubus - "A Crow Left Of The Murder"

Mr. T

Blind Faith - "Well All Right"

G-Man

The Rentals - "Friends Of P."

I think I initially dismissed this song because Weird Al made fun of it when he did his Much Music take over back in 1995/96. Revisiting this one again, because honestly it is purely a rapturous 90's pop experience. Also it's Matt and Patrick from Weezer!

Doug

JP Saxe & Maren Morris - "Line By Line"

Dano

Dragonforce - "Cry Thunder"

Jonny HP

Blue Oyster Cult - "Burnin' For You"

Mike D

Tokio Hotel - "Ready Set Go"

J.B.

Bouncing Souls - "True Believers"

Just an all around awesome tune. Unfortunately, I didn't have much luck finding more super solid tracks by The Bouncing Souls. Happy Easter Friday ya fools.

Skin Cycle

 Rob

Broadway - "Don't Jump The Shark Before You Save The Whale"

Mr. T

Sandy Nelson - "Let There Be Drums"

I'm going to dedicate this pick to Rob

G-Man

Something Corporate - "Konstantine" 

Perhaps one of the best and most unknown songs from the past 20 years. Something Corporate were one of those bands gaining steam along other emo/punk groups like Jimmy Eat World (who get named dropped in this song) ,Taking Back Sunday and The Used. Though unlike those other 3 bands, Something Corporate never really had a breakthrough track. This song was once described to me as the "Stairway To Heaven" of our generation. Maybe if the stars shone a little luckier on it, other people would agree with that

Doug

The Tragically Hip - "Nautical Disaster"

Dano

X Ambassadors - "Zen" feat. K. Flay & Grandson

Jonny HP

TBD

Mike D

Motorhead - "(We Are) The Roadcrew"

J.B.

A Tribe Called Quest - "Award Tour"

If you were born in the 80's or maybe the 90s more than likely your original Tribe repertoire may have only consisted of "Vibrant Thing" and a few other select tracks from the 2000s. Let's just say you need to dig on back to some original tracks for the really good stuff like these tunes. RIP Phife Dawg

A Tribe Called Quest - "Oh My God"

Store Mourning

 

Rob

Finger Eleven - "First Time"

Mr. T

Panski - "In The Air Tonight"

G-Man

Dogs Die in Hot Cars - "I Love You 'Cause I Have To"

Don't ask and I won't tell. This was a quirky, one-off kind of song from my footloose and fancy free days from the mid 2000s. Woke up this morning and it was in my head, for some reason. Enjoy!

Doug

Sia - "Snowman"

Dano

The Show Ponies - "Gone"

Jonny HP

Social Distortion - "Sometimes I Do"

Mike D

Pearl Jam - "Jeremy"

J.B.

Skinshape - "I Didn't Know"

Since things are warming up. Sit back, relax and let the positive vibes of this track be sent your way. Ridiculously easy Friday tune for you.

Concrete Planet

 

Rob

NOFX - "Franco Un-American"

Mr. T

Joe Walsh - "I.L.B.Ts"

G-Man

The SteelDrivers - "Where Rainbows Never Die"

This is about as Country I get. Recently stumbled upon this track. With grey in my beard and temples, the subject matter landed a surprise left on my jaw. Left a mark.

Doug

Tai Verdes - "Drugs"

Dano

Reverend Peyton's Big Damn Band - "John Hughes (The Water Tower's Heart is Sore)"

Jonny HP

Dragonforce - "Prepare For War"

Mike D

A$AP Rocky - "I Come Apart" Feat. Florence Welch

J.B.

Jeremy Fisher - "High School"

Originally hailing from "Steel Town". This Hamilton born and raised Canadian performer has had a long and diverse career since 1999. He's been involved with collaborations and features with countless other heavy Canadian music icons (The Odds, Hawksley Workman, Sarah Slean). He now calls the Ottawa area home and has drastically switched gears from the rock and roll scene. Literally, he rolled with his way via bike across North America for his debut album tour to reduce his carbon footprint. He now performs Kids Material that is really good. Check it out and of course check out his earlier material like this awesome track. He always paints an awesome story.

Missing St. Augustine

 

One of last week's write-ups gave the boys here at Song Of The Day Fridays an idea for a theme. Great songs that remind them of parties from their younger days. As always they are free to interperet that at their leisure and also as always Rob get's us under way...

Rob

Snoop Dogg - "Gin & Juice"

Mr. T

Billy Idol - "Mony, Mony"

Here's the story: Drunk at a high school party. "Mony, Mony" comes on and we all start singing the part, when my buddy Ryan starts screaming "Fuck a pony! Fuck a pony!" So drunk he goofed the lyrics and it stuck forever!

G-Man

Old Dirty Bastard - "Got Your Money"

They say High School is the best time of your life. Well i'd agree with that statement if I could stretch my OAC year over the whole experience. My graduating class (Class of 2000!) was a unique one, where that we all got along despite the different varying cliques. The last few months leading up to Graduation saw a new party every weekend. This song will always remind me of one of the cottage parties, probably early June. At the time it felt like I had 50 friends, there was no negativity.  I think we all knew the significance of being the class of 2000 without dwelling on it too much. Just trying to hang on to a few wonderful, happy moments

Doug

Spirit Of The West - "Home For A Rest"

Dano

Tool - "Invincible"

Starts out Mastodon, turns into Counterparts Rush and ends in total Tool. Flawless. This is the smartest and most thought out album i have ever fucking heard

Jonny HP

Notorious B.I.G - "Juicy"

Mike D

Kid Cudi - "Day n' Nite"
