No one i know knows The*Ataris! Are they really that unknown? If anyone knows them, what do you guys think? Also, was anyone at any of their shows (especially the one in Philly!)?

i've heard of them. I've never seen them live, but I think their music is pretty good.

everyone knows the ataris... they signed with columbia records last year. theyre your usual pop-punk band who sing a lot of mournfull songs about girls. i own an ataris cd. guilty as charged.

where do you live? in a hole? lol. the ataris have been around for awhile and are definately a pop-punk-mtv band. they're right up there with good charlotte and new found glory. 'punk' for the masses.

I don't live in a hole...i live in PA. it's a black pit.
And i thought they rocked live. I met Kris and the boys after the show. they were so cool.
Anyway, i was just wondering, since i don't know anyone in my shitty little town who knows them.

I'm usually against the whole MTV thing, but isn't saying 'Any band who plays on MTV isnt punk' a bit out there? The Dropkick Murphy's had a video of Barroom Hero which I believe was supposed to be played on MTV, but they cut it because of the depiction of violence in the video (which is ridiculous) And when you argue the whole 'Punk is a viewpoint' thing, couldn't you say that the Red Hot Chili Peppers were punk?

yeah, i used to be a big ataris fan. then i saw them with rufio a few weeks ago, and kris was a total asshole to the crowd. I met him afterwards and he was a shithead, so i started giving him crap about his rockstar attitude and he started whining and left. he was incredibly cocky the whole time, and really full of himself. i cant fucking stand the ataris anymore, they are fucking posers who are the antithesis of everything 'punk'

the ataris...not mtv. not punk for the masses. were they on TRL last nite? no. if you did, your on something i wanna get ahold of. pop-punk? is Song 13 a 'pop punk' song. what exactly is pop punk? blink? good charlotte. can you really compare the ataris to them? just because they sing about relationships and growing up, doenst make them pop punk. the new album, So Long Astoria, is more about life and the bands outlook on it, from what ive heard off it so far. the ataris are an excellent band

blue skies broken hearts is only one album though. it was the most pop-punk, yes, i admist that. but thats making a justification based on ONE album. is Anywhere But Here pop-punk? is End Is Forever pop-punk? as for mxpx...definitely NOT hardcore punk. i have one of their albums i got for 2 bucks, and honestly EVERY song sounds EXACTLY the same. they suck

Lagwagon, I have seen the Ataris on MTV, sorry to tell you. It wasn't on TRL or anything, but it was on late at night when they play lesser known videos. So basically looks like you're a tool.

And I saw Thrice on MTV too (to whoever said they saw them also) and it was kinda startling. Whatever though, as long as their new cd isn't too much of a deviation from their current shit, I won't care.

snopunk, didn't you just contradict yourself by saying not to judge a band based on one album and yet you have only one NOFX album?

I saw the Ataris many many years back when they toured with Lagwagon. Prolly like 5 years ago????
They were good. We bought their album, on Kung Pu records and is was shit! They played a great set, very reminiscent of the 'new' Lagwagon sound. Their album was garbage. I bought the next one, Blue skies, it too I considered pop pap and I bought there latest one too, I don't know why, and I listened to it once. F-in garbage in my opinion! Pop-punk, indefinetly!
