Took an old song idea, finished and recorded this week. It almost feels like cheating to use an old idea. Almost.
I don't know how those punk rock guitarists do those crazy fast downstrokes. My hand goes wobbly about half a verse.

I've honestly considered trying to learn some punk songs before just because I've noticed how it's all like vicious downstrokes (I don't really listen to punk though). And lol, I love the lyrics but whateven inspired this. A combination of a love song and toasters, nice.
This is a super solid punk song! Nice energy on all the parts and the guitar solo is really nice. I like the notes you hold onto at the end of it. Your vocals are perfect! The title of this song is super fitting for the style and the lyrics are super creative too. I like the use of punctuation in the submitted lyrics as well; that was a nice touch. You nailed this style perfectly!
Such a tasty song, I love it like I love toast and just as heartfelt as the moment you finish a piece of toast

Got a strong skatecore/punk pop of the late 90s. Good job on the guitars! The singing is also on spot for that 90s style! Really good job, even of the small lead parts, just exactly right. I think the lyrics are perfectly appropriate as well. 
Beautiful!

I wouldn't recommend practicing techniques used primarily in genres you don't really intend to play 
. Song uses an old chorus from years ago. I think my friend and I were brainstorming things to write a song about, and somehow toasters entered into the conversation. And I do love similes and metaphors.

Thanks! Definitely the most ambitious solo I've done... which is, in absolute terms, not very ambitious. But it took a lot of looping and working it out to figure out what to do and make it happen. Glad you dug it. I grew up on this stuff, so this definitely won't be my last entry in the genre.

I hope you're not just buttering me up, because this comment made me feel all warm and toasty

Glad you dug it! I'm down on my singing sometimes, but I do think it's improving. I just wish I could put some more grit on it without squeaking. Thanks for listening!
Brings me back to my old skating days. Fun tune!
Thanks so much! Takes me back to my garage band days in high school, glad you got some nostalgia too!
this is so good! this has some great Blink vibes for me, GOD I NEED A JAZZ BASS THOUGH THAT WILL BE THE ANSWER TO ALL OF MY PROBLEMS
love the toaster theme
love the ending with that "wrong chord before the big ending"
the chorus is SO GOOD especially with the different timings of the rhyme
your stuff is always awesome, but i'm super impressed with this! downloading!

Thanks for the kind comments! I hope that someday my great great grandkids hear this song and think "Man, my great great grandpa must have been a cool guy. Also, what's a toaster?" Yes, the ending! I hemmed and hawed about it. At times it felt like I might have been overcooking it a little bit, but I'm glad it hit you right.
I thought of you when I was recording bass to this, because you had mentioned the MH bass, and here I was recording this very Blink-ey song the next day. I wanted to ask you more about that on the WM call, but it was a pretty lively day in there.
There's no shame in using an existing idea, sometimes its good to use the week to hash something out. Excellent performance on this though, some seriously tight guitars and an awesome solo at 1:40. Very cool song!
Love this genre and I love your arrangement! All the tones and sound choices work well together. And the vocals really suit this style. Nice work.
oops, back on this song again from autoplay. still love it. i need to learn how to write music like this.
