Love the cinder block holding the kick drum! I saw these guys open up for Morrissey in St. Louis in the early '90's. Loved 'em then, love 'em now! Really glad they are back and they sound awesome!
I was a voice major and just fyi he does technically sing correctly and has great control. If you don't like his sound I understand but he can sing very well. It's different and I love it!
The Popes are by far the best band to come out of the punk/alternative signing craze of the mid-90's. Superb songwriting, great voice, and probably the best band I've ever seen live. This band is tight... do not miss them if they come to your area.
Everyone complainz about this guy's voice, but I'm sure that's exactly the sound he's going for. Find another band if you don't like it. lol To tell you the truth this one and Rubella are the only two I've liked so far. Any suggestionz out there?
This is punk..look at the buzzcocks and the like...although i do agree with him...lets drop all the label bullshit..the popes have a massive punk following.
lol it is funny seeing all these people be all like "omg i lov them""there my fav band of all time" or stuff like that i have gotten to meet them so many times i still remeber when i first meet josh & eli we went to this little italian restrant eli was really funny i wish i could see thenm again soon. ps i know them because they all went to highschool with my dad lol

I agree this isn't punk, but it's still great music. The Popes have always been good.
