The Lawrence Arms are a band who when I see someone likes they, I have complete respect for their taste in music. They're not the most known band out there, but they're certainly one of the better ones. They were kicked off the Warped Tour of saying on stage how much it sucks.





Up Next: A band who has gone through a lot of turn over to the point that it has no original members.
