So I was out with my friend Sandye a new months back and she was all like "You need to hear this band called Latterman!" So I said okay and she put it in my car CD player. I instantly fell in love.

Latterman hails from Long Island, Ny and is a small part of an exploding music scene in that area. They play punk rock. It's not fast or aggressive like more crusty style and it's not lame watered down pop posing as punk. The music does have some pop appeal but it's all orginal and just good!

This band is so flipping positive it's amazing. You won't read any lyrics about a girlfriend breaking up with them or about how they want to cut their wrists or take lots of medication to get rid of their over whelming depression of living in a rich white neighborhood. You won't read any of that. You will read about how the world sometimes does suck but it can all be fixed.

I really can't express how great this band is and how it's such a great breathe of fresh air! I saw them last week in some small bar in Chicago...they were just amazing!

Here is a small sample of their lyrics...
"My bedroom is like for artist"

-streets gentrified like it's no problem.
boys in bands still singing about killing their girlfriends.
people leave communities while their still struggling.
come on everybody sing along we're to blame.

punks start dealing with their own white priviledge.
we tell all the boys to stop being so aggressive.
actually giving a **** about the place we live in.
come on everybody sing along let's fix this.
i see life alive in many peoples eyes-
