Would be helpful if I linked the song here:

Thanks for all the upvotes on Eastern Youth. Boy, was I not expecting that post to blow up. It's heartwarming to see others appreciate their early Punk years. Alas, they became more of an Emo/Indie band which, while good and led them to a bigger audience, still doesn't quite have the same energy that drove that 1993 album.

Lately, Nati Dreddd has been capturing my attention, and I hope others would find her tunes as enjoyable as I did. I had the pristine honor of discovering her at the NH Scot Highlands Games last month and heard "5 More Minutes" live before she would drop the studio cut late September.

Nati is a gifted performer who has obviously spent years honing her craft, and being as eminently charismatic as she is easy on the ears gives her an edge. If you ask me, she could play to potentially millions of people. Apart from her tunes, her natural charisma shines through in her interviews, and she's endlessly witty and humorous in recounting her life story through music.

UPDATE: I got myself a bottle. Goodbye Eclipse; hello Dave's.

THANK YOU! I will definitely be buying one when I'm out shopping at Dave's Market. Come to think of it, The Pantry might've carried bottles but I never felt possessed to check it out. Rest assured, I'll buy one.

If you know of any brands and stores that sell 'em, tell me. I'm always interested in buying HFCS free.

Not in my experience, although it's kind of trashy as others have said. Certainly no worse than Pawtucket, Central Falls or Mt. unPleasant.

The other motto is, "At least we're not Springfield."

My father worked in Fall Reev his entire professional life, so the ol' mill city is intimately familiar to me.

Everybody Else Is Doing It... is easily their best album as it's their most consistent. No Need to Argue also has great tunes despite "Zombie". "Ode to My Family" sincerely moves me to tears.

Just because I don't like "Zombie" or "Salvation" doesn't mean I dislike them.

Not really. To the Faithful Departed ranks among my least favorite albums by The Cranberries. That tune does nothing for me.

"Zombie" by The Cranberries. God, that song is just both overplayed and absolutely awful. Their best material included their softer, romantic or sentimental tunes. Stuff like "Dreams", "Linger", "Ode to My Family" or "You and Me" played to their strengths whereas "Zombie" or "Salvation" felt overwrought and hollow.
