[ironkatia]

Back before emo was cool and hipster ruined the music.

[loversjustkeeploven]

@ironkatia amen dude. :D

[mjmont92]

Discovered this by watching Stevens Untitled Rock Show. Those were the days...

[RukiKatiakicz]

@mjmont92 Haha same. Don't really listen to radio rock anymore but it has brought gems like that into forming my music taste today. Also discovered At the drive-in and Jawbreaker from him, too bad there's not a program that can play all that kind of cool music.. oh well we have youtube.

[rockstarlibby]

@RukiKatiakicz we have pandora?

[ThePaczki]

How is it even humanly possible that on all of Youtube no one has posted The Promise Ring's greatest achievement, namely, "The Size of Your Life"?  Many things in life defy logic and I number this omission among them . . .

[TheDjvanessaporto]

my predilet

[sooriginalful]

this band is awesome .....bhut cmon this is their worst song.

[benmfjones]

this is a band that realy kicks ass Davey is the best singer i think in the world alot of people will say f you your full of shit but he in my book is the shit im in a punk band and people laugh at me cause i love the promise ring saw them for 7 dollars with jimmy eat world in phoenix best show ever !!!!

[BirdmanAKAtheRap]

THE GUY AT 0:31 LOOKS LIKE JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE.HAHAHA

[insertscenenamehere]

Demon of the third album.

[michaeltgrace]

Get a load of Scott Schoenbeck. I run into him every once in a while in Bay View.

[sowhat248]

Fun fact: in July when I saw Cap'n Jazz on their reunion tour in Philadelphia Davey von Bohlen was wearing the same shirt he is in this video haha

[TRUEROMANCEMOVIE]

@sowhat248 Fun fact : i hate you cause you went to the reunion show and i did not FML

[crackerstick72001]

I kinda got the hots for this chick.

[radiokid8]

wow its been a while since i last heard of their music but i still love love them ;)

[EazyRun]

Looks very amateur-like^^

Adore it!

[jdrefahl]

Wishes he still has his Promise Ring demo tape that Dan gave him in Madison at the first show. :) I miss my high school years too much.

[MasterAdam100]

There was one good thing after this album and that was the Electric Pink EP. 4 very good songs on there.

[maxp619]

long ago...I saw promise ring open for death cab4c

= in pomona,ca glasshouse

this was the better band

[sin3687]

久しぶり聞いたけどやっぱいいね。

[ijurcough]

@sin3687 Gay.

[Laurix76]

i love this band ♥

[aedidds]

This is so baaaaaad! 30 everywhere is the best and they shouldn't of even bothered in my opinion.... so so so bad!

[aedidds]

*Bothered after 30 everywhere if that wasn't clear

[moogrocker]

sadly, the guy who posted a comment beneath mine doesn't think wood/water is a perfect piece of art...

promise ring rules... maritime owns... ice cream makes people fat

[hideandsleep]

wood water was disappointing. Especially because the tour for the album, they played maybe one or two songs off the other albums. It was the last time I saw them live and basically it blew. I still love them.

[MasterAdam100]

I remember them playing a song from wood/water on Conan O Brien like 10 years ago. It pretty good but yeah, the album was underwhelming. Von Bohlen has Maritime out now and it's a little bit like Promise Ring but way softer.

[afterthesirens]

Sadly this band went downhill after this

[doz68]

VERY...

[eckoecho]

this band is so old, its just nice to know that ANYBODY still knows about them. old emo it is, but it fits into the term of college indie rock now.

[Guitarist132]

...college indie rock? no

[samsoulee]

I Agree

[FakeFlourescentSkies]

Jonas Brothers ripped these guys off!! :)) LOL JK!!

[567eight9]

the girl has a stockerrrr

[U2rock55]

to me,this song is a fine mixture of braid and the get up kids.

[dyamondDELUXE]

this is the real emotional hardcore

[Nizzemanden]

no. dude. no. look up embrace, suis la lune etc.

[james619]

like this one. look up rites of spring too. they freakin invented emo. heheh!

[makingacomeback]

This is real emo.Today emo got lost in style,like the hair or the tight black jeans.This when it was REAL!When it was GOOD!I mean some modern day emo bands are good,but these guys knew what it really was!

[flamebait07]

No, this isn't real emo. This is more indie pop than anything. Real emo is Embrace, Rights of Spring, and if you wanna stretch, Sunny Day Real Estate.

[makingacomeback]

Hmmmm,I guess it comes off differntly to different people,but tanks for the recommendation.And just saying if you're into indie,The Jets To Brazil are a erally good band!

[flamebait07]

I've been meaning to check out Jets to Brazil, actually. The singer from Jawbreaker is in that band, and I like them quite a bit.

[makingacomeback]

They really are great,I personly like them better than Jawbreaker,wasn't one of them from Handsome?

[EZBruv]

even then dude, there are older bands from the mid 80's that fit the emo title better (and I hate using that name) Anywho, I'd just call this indie college rock.

[killjoke]

Any singer with a lisp is OK in my book....great song

[Pomacea111]

i so love tht chorus

[jlancia]

left handed Davey!

[605jacqueline]

Oh, the memories:)

[imoukids]

nice song :))

[muhdamirull]

promise ring at its best!

one of the early wave of indie rock emo bands beside the get up kids,keepsake and others.

miss them!

[Floydthefuckbag]

At their best? No way. I think they have way better songs. This one is pretty good though.

[flashlightonthesun]

wicked

[emrayev]

Excellent tune. Promise Ring kicks ass.

[Cancerxx]

I love indie old or new.

[erick103]

WAIT, so was it the milk man that liked her?? cuz you see em walk by..?? i mean..Im sure it's the lil dude with the goatee, but the milk man at the end threw me for a loop here!

[saintangelsin]

Great band. I miss them a lot. (Not to mention, I miss real emocore if you want to call it that) I remember when this video came out. I was in the 9th grade. good stuff.

[moby6002]

Anyone have a copy of this song? Will someone email it to me?

[lainakins]

I love them.

[inspectorcloseu]

I never seen this vid, very cool!Great band great song!!!

[moby6002]

Great song! I miss the 90s indie scene! Today's indie is too comercial!

[jonspencer12]

Kind of an oxymoron statement don't you think?

[tripthelightfilm]

True that...

Basically the indie scene grew...

[maxyboosh]

Moby6002 probably doesn't know what that means.
