Me likey Lagwagon, one of my favorite pop/skate punk bands since the mid 90s.

I think they are well known within that circle but grossly overlooked and underrated otherwise. Double Plaidinum and Hoss are my favorites, Let's Talk About Feelings would be next. I think it would be easy for anyone only familiar with Blink 182, Sum 41 and the like (and not a fan) to blow them off as the same, and those familiar with the better and more original pop/skate punk bands are probably already aware of them. So in other words, it's hard to turn people into fans unless they're already into the genre. Or something.

And what about Bad Astronaut? Lagwagon grown up. Love them.
