The Lawrence Arms are an American punk rock band from Chicago who formed in 1999. Prior to forming the Lawrence Arms, the three band members were active in other well known Chicago-area bands. Brendan Kelly had played in the ska punk band Slapstick which also featured Dan Andriano of Alkaline Trio fame. Chris McCaughan had played in Tricky Dick before joining Kelly in The Broadways. McCaughan and Kelly also shared an apartment together on Chicago's north side. Neil Hennessy, meanwhile, had played in a band called Baxter. Both Slapstick and The Broadways released albums on Asian Man Records, a small record label based in Monte Sereno, California that would later release albums by The Lawrence Arms.
I am sharing Quincentuple Your Money which is the second track from their 2005 B-side's album Cocktails & Dreams. I love the bassline and the catchyness of this song. The lyrics are great as well - "There's these kids who have dreams and there's these dreams that will grow until they get so goddamn big that they explode and what's left in the smoke and the falling debris is grownups like them and losers like me".
Brilliant.
