___________________________________

This subgenre isn't exactly my forte and I never heard any of these albums before so this may be the first one I sit out entirely in terms of my own votes in a while, but we'll see. Also, since Folk Punk was the second most popular pick in both of the last two genre votes I will suggest we move onto that genre immediately after this one is done so I will queue that up in the schedule, giving everyone ample time to catch up on those albums while the upcoming battle is still ongoing. However, if anyone has an issue with this and want to suggest we do some other genre after Skate Punk, please let me know and I will take it into consideration.


I know most of these bands thanks to Tony Hawk Pro Skater 2 but I haven't listened to their albums in full. So I'll start chipping away at them.

I was this cool the whole time.

I've heard maybe 1 to 3 songs by 5 of the bands on that list, so I'll have to listen to all of those albums. June 9th should be enough time for me but if anyone else needs more time, I'm good with an extension.


I've heard five of those albums, though it's been a bit for a couple of them. I was a big emo/hardcore/pop punk girlie and went to Warped Tour a bunch so this is probably closer to musical home base than some of the other battles.
