Speaking of Punk...

I was looking around Rollingstone.com for work and came across an article about Creed's "come back". 


I personally had forgotten about Creed and have a feeling that they were particularly missed by many others...but the article linked to a photo album entitled, "The Return of the '90s: Creed, Limp Bizkit, Blink-182 and More".

Creed, No Doubt, Blink-182, Faith No More, Blur, Alice In Chains, Jane's Addiction, Limp Bizkit, Third Eye Bllind, and Sugar Ray are all planning to reunite and reemerge into the music scene in 2009. While I realize that bands come and go (and come again) all the time, this caught my eye because the majority of these bands are tied to the punk movement and produce music in some subgenre of punk. To be more specific, Creed and Alice in Chains are grunge bands, Third Eye Blind is associated with the post-grunge movement. Other genres in this group include post-punk, pop-punk, and more. The grunge movement was greatly influenced by punk and has roots in the punk movement. I guess we're back to our days of punk and 90's punk/grunge rock. Get excited!

Wow, that's pretty awesome. I just wish Layne Staley was still around to sing for AIC.
