Fun Fact: Band from the same town as Bam Margera & Fred Mascarino and rocked even harder while they were together.

  This is one band that is no longer together that I wish received more attention.  Their local/hometown fame grew to a level that was respectable, but could not sustain the band.  I have a personal connection with this band because they're from the same place as me.  Prior to "The Book Was So Much Better" they had an EP titled "This Is It" which was a good intro to them on the music scene.  The best way to listen to this album is driving with the windows down at full volume during the summer.  This eleven song LP is solid from start to finish and does justice to the greater Philadelphia/Pennsylvania music scene.  The best way to describe their music is upbeat rock/pop.  A nice little addition to a good amount of their songs is the incorporation of a slight pop punk-esque breakdown.  The lyrics almost anyone can relate to for example Dreaming Past 9 To 5, mostly recent graduates.  Even for their most loyal fans they feature some of the songs right of their EP.  Give this album a chance and you won't be disappointed, but you may be let down by the fact that they will no longer be making music.
