Why New Found Glory and Podiums Don't Mix

Let me tell you all a little story about why New Found Glory and Podiums don’t mix… For all of you that know me now is the time to go straight the comments and write “great blog… am moshing”.  Ok ok so for the others gather round children because pupa Campbell is telling war stories about growing up, having good friends and some of the music we listened to on the way…

So it was another dark night at the Swinburne residence and your uncle New Found Wal has stopped off for a couple of cylindrical tubes, in true Res fashion the night got rather loose and ended up at a little place us old kids liked to call switch.  Every thing was going great on the 80’s disco style dance floor until of course on comes the beloved sounds of new found glory and it was straight onto the podiums to sing at the top of our voices and bounce around like astronauts in fast forward.  Mind you this was back in the day where your uncle New Found Wal resembled more of a gummy bear with a pogo stick than the club goer he has evolved into.

Anyway back to the story… I believe the song was hit or miss, and we had just discovered that pop punk jumps looked much bigger when done jumping off podiums… and then dar dar.. dar dar, off we went and all I can say is whatever I say next it will just come off sounding like a little kid in an insurance commercial “and then he bit me in the part, and my head when that way and my legs went that way!”.

The next 6 months of my life involved hospitals, crutches and excuses as to why I wasn’t going to physio… And that is why New Found Glory and Podiums don’t mix.

So to close off each blog I’m going to include a section called only 2 of these are true.  It will be up to you to comment me back as to which ones are true.

1.    Brett from the Omen love Boys Night Out – Trainwreck more than life
2.    Josh Stuart from BCE has a secret solo project that no one else in his band knows about
3.    I was once scheduled for a back yard grudge match with Micheal Crafter but chickened out when he became addicted to going to the gym
4.    Adrian Kelly really is a nice guy once you get to know him
5.    All Time Low have a box of sliced and peeled oranges on their rider.
