Their music seems a bit more interesting from a musical and technical standpoint compared to the music comprising today's warped tour.</p> @Maura Johnston: 311, Sublime, and even Sugar Ray produced several quality albums before headlining Warped or becoming famous.

Oh, neighborhood gossip. The Detroit Cobras played a neighborhood bar’s street party on Saturday… (just 2 blocks from my house)…. Meg White was sitting in with them. She was having a good time. The kid was thrilled to meet her. To a fourteen year old girl guitarist, she’s inspirational. Yup. Stay Positive. Meg was totally schnockered though. Poor lady will be feeling that one….
