Listening to Hot Water Music last night reminded me why they are to me, the finest punk act of this day and age...great lyrics, amazing arrangements and song structures...just musically wonderfully.

they would be followed by:
2. The Freaks Union: now on Deck Cheese Records, anthemic, singalong melodic punk, the most catchy punk songs ive heard still and they blow anyone they play with (which has included rancid, strike anywhere, leftover crack, capdown etc) off the stage.

3. Red Lights Flash: melodic hardcore from Austria, another great live act and they incorporate metal riffs into punk better than anyone else

4. Anti-Flag: same kind of reason as freaks union though i havent seen these live yet to comment fully.
5. NOFX :even tho their hardly modern day, their still going as strong as ever and they make me happy.

what bout yours?
