  • feb 2012, still listening to it... :3

  • Listening to New Years Day on New Years Eve.

  • ash is fucking awesome, i've listened to them for 6 years now! if not more, and they're amazing live and the sweetest people ever! NYD <3 fucking love em;

  • Saw them at Feel The Rage Tour, i fell inlove, i talked to the lead singer and told her that they where amazing and i've never heard them but loved them, she hugged me and was proud i'm a new victim then gave me a kiss on the cheek and we danced and held hands. C:

    true story!

  • @maryannwaffless meeee tooo

  • Met them at Mexicali Live, Great band and plays live well. Glad to see them for All the Rage tour! :) <3

  • I saw them with botdf n i got pic with main girl n got new years day jacket n she signed it :))

  • :D can't wait to see them tomorrow at the BOTDF concertt<33 SGTC is amazing but so are new year's day:)

  • I didn't know who these people were til I saw them in concert, (I was at a BOTDF one and they were one of the other bands) and now I think they're AMAZING. They're really good in concert, and I talked to the lead singer. Shes so pretty, I love her hair. <3.(:

  • @xxlaurenxpwnsxx im going to a BOTDF show this friday too, and i saw this band on the site and i decided to look them upp. they're really good lol(:

  • i love them i seen them in concert

  • Sounds like Helena by MCR, but, very good song!

  • Saw them Saturday, They are all so kind and an amazing band,

  • Just saw these guys Friday night. They were awesome!

  • @deffjamfrank - they didn't break up. They are still standing strong, and touring the county. But they are still underground. But if they keep coming out with songs like this it won't take long for them to get noticed ;p

  • where ha you been check out their fb touring straight for months awesome

  • Tobad they broke up such a good band

  • the guy's voice is so hot..

  • the girl in vocals is hot.....

  • What songs did they sing at warped tour? i missed them, i was soo pissed!

  • Love this band <3

    one of their best songs in my opinion

  • ...I saw these guys live and they absolutely sucked, I didn't want to ever hear anything they did again.

    But...I looked them up anyway and they're not that bad. Too bad they can't play live shows worth shit.

  • @DarknessRainz ive noticed alot of bands suck live but there CDs are really good

  • @DarknessRainz u suk! >:{0

  • This seems like a rip off of Helena.

  • @suckerforacoustic06 Hmm, there are definately a lot of similarities, but I don't think I would have noticed if I hadn't read the comment. The mood of the song is totally different. She does credit My Chem as a favorite though.

  • @suckerforacoustic06

    Really? Why?

  • @Periwinkleton I love News Year Day though, no offense.. haha

    Just listen to both structures of the songs, Helena, and My Dear

    They both have the same aspects of the structure.

    Both open with a melodic soft tone, then suddenly break into a driving octave strum with the same drum rhythm...

    then they both go into a chorus(of course) and you can actually match up the chorus of My Dear, to Helena... like you can sing the chorus over it.

    I wouldnt sayripoff, but I think MCR was a big inspiration

  • @suckerforacoustic06

    They both have a similiar intro, and that part at 2:14 is sort of like Helena, but then again, a lot of bands do that...

    I don't see it, but whatever, atleast you have a good taste in music :]

  • she looks like ashlee simpson?

  • I got to see them Yesterday :D

  • Escape the Fate n New Year's Day are two completely different bands. -_- My friend is their new guitarist. He's good as fuck when you here him jam. 

  • I don't think I'm the only one thats sick of clicking on video of any girl-fronted band and seeing pages and pages of comparisons to other girl-fronted bands. PS - I've just found this song, it's great!! :)

  • People are compairing new years day to escape the fate? :/ ok.........

  • love this song!

  • This song makes meeh wanna cry cause it describes so much about what happened when me and my ex brokedup,

    miss you justin </3

  • I found them 3-4 years ago but didnt care about their songs. now...i love them xD

  • does anyone else think this sounds like Helena by My Chemical Romance. It starts slow but then rolls into the punkish drum beat. Seriously compare the videos. (New Years Day is better tho)

  • =) This is wonderful. Talented peoplez.

  • My buddy Jake Jones is tge new guitarist in this band n he's good. Hope they're gonna want him to show skill >:D

  • Love this Band. Singer sorta sounds like Betty Curse. (Just my opinion.)

  • Comment removed

  • /watch?v=t5oUg_jYFvc

  • Definately a band worth checking out more. I'm a sucker for female fronted bands.

  • @Jake38nine then u should check out eyes set to kill n iwrestledabearonce u will love them =D

  • @samifaction1 ESTK is already in my top 3 favorite bands. I still need to have sometime for the other though. Heard some, but really haven't gotten enough hearing time to see if I would.

  • @Jake38nine yeaa true but u should check iwrestledabearonce

  • @Jake38nine I'll get there sooner or later. Right now It's mostly My Darkest Days that I'm listening to. Oh and ESTK too because their new album just came out today :D

  • My dear Take what you want from me I'll give you anything Just don't leave me on my own Desperate and destitute A shadow of the former self I knew Take what you want from me I'll give you anything It's so pathetic, I make myself sick I can't get over you, I can't get over any of this waaaah..hihihihi

  • I love paramore and ETF and new years day. Stop hating all the time!!!

  • to @lalalalevi

    this band didn't break up! haha they are still in full swing doing shows and creating that drug takin baby makin music!

  • damn. good stuff.

  • argh finally a good female band that isn't influenced by the scene shit no offense just i hate overrated things this band has a very original sound

  • i love this soooooong!!!!

  • This ban could have made it big. I was extremely upset when I found out she left. I personaly would have gone to everyone of the concerts that I could make it to and buy all of there cd's. I'm still upset at what happened, I was really into this band.

  • Great song.

  • i think this band is rather bad.. :[

  • definitely my favorite band 

  • that orange thing still looks like a pumpkin to me.

  • @musicalmadness100 LOL you know, i've actually never noticed it until you mentioned it. I've always just assumed that it was a pumpkin until now.

  • @theCure1234 these little things in life intrigue me... hah.

  • luv'et!..

  • I'm really starting to get into this band, this song is so BA<3

  • Ok i like paramore but it is soo annoying when people keep comparing bands to them!

  • i love this song!! one of my faveeeeeeesss

  • So the meaning is...I interpreted it one way but my friend took it another...what's your interpretation?

  • this song is amazzzzzing ash is so pretty i am going to see them at the key club cant wait

  • Ashley is my heroooo <3

  • @cooleoretard try Eyes Set To Kill, they sound nothing like Paramore... niether does this band though...

  • The only similarities between this band and Paramore is that the singer is a girl.

  • THIS IS MY FAV SONG ASHELYS VOICE SOUNDS SOOOOOO AMAZING I LOVE IT CANT GET ENOUGH

  • @2COOKIES1 thank you!!!

  • this song kills me !!

  • As far as simliarites with Paramore go I only see them with the instrumentals, and the fact they have an extremely talented female vocalist. That´s where they end, in my mind. Oh, and the fact I love them both :D

  • how could ppl say it sounds like paramore? i think they sound different from paramore (ppl we just want to hear the song and enjoy this band NOT hear comments abut damn paramore no offense but whenver i see paramore comments in EVERY girl fronted band it instantly ruins the video for me :P) anyways, this song is awesome! i fell in love with it the first time i heard it!

  • Why can people not just listen to a song and appreciate the talent that has gone into making it without bitching and comparing it to other bands? New Years Day are their own band, so what if they have minor similarities to other bands? It doesnt matter...bands have to get their influences from somewhere...

    Enough of a rant.

    this song is kick ass. I love it :)

  • They are a cool band

  • goin to see them today :) and possibly meet them!! hellz yea!

  • thanks guys!

  • hhhhhhhhhhhhmmmmmmm...I like them, yeah I do. they are guuu! On to my playlist!

  • whoa this song kicks ass!!

  • ahh!! :]

  • tnx for the song jona nahaha. ily.

  • nice song ^^

    emo2f3r

    chords plzz

  • :)):

    thankee for uploading this

  • sweet song

    my new years day i the best

    band wiiii

  • It's hellaaaa gooooddd!

    Can anyone msg me the whole lyrics of it? It's really freakin' goooooood! :)

  • They are VERY clear. Just learn them.

  • *sighs happily*

    Who cares if it sounds like another band. In any case, if it was a copy of Helena (which it blatantly isn't), then NYD does it so much better.

    Who cares about musical genius? PFFT. The song is catchy, upbeat and amazing :)

    Pessimists, deal with it :)

  • I agree with you dude...

  • i just started listening to them, from those who listen to them alot, which song should i listen to?? clairebearsaysheyy and leave me a comment

  • Redy aim misfire, part time lover, i was right, brilliant lies, razor, that songs are really cool^^

  • i like cats

  • i looked this band up on myspace but i got an indie/emo band with a bunch of guy and this girl wasn't in it. did they get rid of her?!?

  • Yay(heartheartheart)

  • I love New Years Day !

  • This little Youtube comment thingy doesn't let you make very long comments, does it? :) The way I see it, the bands that groups like us grew up listening to were earlier Green Day albums, old Fat Wreck Chords bands, etc., not current ones, so it's a mishmosh of influences, not just one or two groups. And to the folks that said the intro reminded them of Helena by MCR, I can hear it a little, but the intro chord progression we got from Moonlight Sonata by Beethoven, and slowed & tweaked it. :)

  • A little? Don't get me wrong, I think you guys are (were) an incredibly catchy band, but almost the entire structure of the song is identical. Intro, with sparse guitar picking. Four 16th note snare hits into the verse, which contrasts against the intro so with a straight, four on the floor, punk feel. Chorus kicks into half-time, with splash hits every beat. Repeat. It's dead on.

  • Well, if you consider that dead on, then you could also consider about 1,400 other punk-esque songs in D minor to follow a similar measure/bar/bpm/mode, etc. It just matters what touch you add that makes it your own. If you think in pure structural terms, then yes, about 50% of ALL punk-ish songs have heaps in common. We wrote that song with no regard for Helena, but rather Moonlight Sonata, so if it sounds similar, then it's just dumb luck (depending on whether or not you like Helena!! :)

  • Unfortunately for ourselves and MCR-types, we aren't blessed with musical genius, but rather do the best we can w/ what we know. MCR are of similar age, & I assume they listened to some of the same punk records we did growing up, so that kind of similarity, although unintentional, is just part of incorporating what you have into what you've grown up with. I'm sure ALL our songs have some analogue somewhere in the world, that's just the way this genre goes. And hey, at least it turned out ok. :)

  • Just out of curiousity (and this is Keith from new year's day asking, just to be honest here), what are these similarities between us and ETF that some people are mentioning? I can only see that both bands are rock n' roll in one type or another, with distorted guitars and an edgy sound. So why, out of ALL bands out there to compare to, is ETF so close? Nothing against them at allll, it's just a curiosity I guess. By the way, there's a GIRL singing, not a guy screaming half the time!! :)

  • yea dude i dont get it... Both bands are crazy awesome and have totally unique sounds. People do this to a bunch of bands i listen to .. they compare them but ive never listened to a band that had the exact sound as another band. you wouldnt be too famous if you didnt bring something different and something totally yourself.

  • @NewYearsDay its the lyrics from ur songs that could cause similarities( i know i cant spell)

  • @NewYearsDay Not sure Keith I don't see really any similarities other the ones you've mentioned. Personally I much prefer Ash's singing over the guy from escape the fate.

  • @NewYearsDay she has a very similar singing style to ronnie the first etf singer. listen to friends and alibis by escape the fate it sounds very close to this song

  • @NewYearsDay she has a very similar singing style to ronnie the first etf singer. listen to friends and alibis by escape the fate it sounds very close to this song

  • @NewYearsDay i dont know what ur talking about but i kinda think this band sounds a lil like paramore, not the voices or anything, just how they put songs together and stuff

  • @NewYearsDay Because this generation can only work by comparing two totaly different bands to provoke a response, that and most of them are just tone death and seem to think if it's a female singer they are copying of paramore, hell i remember seeing someone trying to compare Marilyn Manson and lady gaga. Anyhoo love the song you guys are awesome ^^

  • @NewYearsDay Haha you have to consider the age and overall knowledge of music and genres of the people comparing u to ETF, Hey Monday, Paramore, etc. You all play great music, but all have something different. I would suggest not reading too much into the comments people post on your videos. :)

    PS- any new projects? Why did u leave the band?

  • @riplivewire Thanks for the comment. I understand what you mean completely. As for new projects, I'm writing with some friends over here in Stockholm, but I'm not sure when or if we'll record them. Even though it's still one of the biggest passions in my life, I just don't know if I have the time to track the songs and do the production necessary to make the EQ's sound decent. The reason I left the band, to make a long story short, is because I just lost the enthusiasm for the touring life!!

  • @NewYearsDay Hey, better ETF than the constant Paramore right? :)

  • @theCure1234 omg yes so true i hate paramore etf is definatley better by all means

  • @NewYearsDay i love escape the fate and some melodies yes are similar but other words you are both independent bands

  • @NewYearsDay Well tbh i just started listening to yew guys.And ur singer reminds me of Ronnie Radke :) sure u posted that like a year ago but still!Like she has the strong vocals like Ronnie Radke.If u dont see hwat i see just listen to Listen up by falling in reverse

    :))

  • @NewYearsDay it does not sound anything near ETF and anyone who says it does. Needs to clean their ears or knowing something more about music.

  • @NewYearsDay i dont make that comparison, but i get how people could make it. although the singer doesnt have testosterone, it kind of has a similar style of rock.

  • @NewYearsDay I think both bands are different and great, but there are similar chord progressions.

  • @NewYearsDay i dont think you guys sound like etf. i love ou both soooo much! and your both great bands!!!!!! love the song! <3

  • @NewYearsDay Agreed And Really Love This Song, Very Understanding

  • i dont get it they sound nothing like etf to me, i would know i hate etf and yes i have listened to almost every of their songs and i like new year's day much...much better!

  • this does kinda sound like etf. i think escape the fate started a new genre. lol. i mean theres modern day escape, these guys, get scared, and whoever else. whatever this new sound/genre is that etf made, its fuckin awesome.

    thats just what i think. and if bands that sound like them keep coming then ill be happy. idgive a shit if it all sounds the same cuz it sounds awesome.

  • New etf sucks. old stuff is phenomenal.

  • yeah there was no reason they had to change their sound so drastically. my friend says craig is really good with the old stuff live. so they could've still been good with craig if they kept the sound. and the lyrics... max wrote the lyrics when ronnie was there. for some reason they let craig write em this time. who the hell thought "if i let it go, if i let this go, if i let you go was better than max's lyrics.

  • your like the first person that hasn't like ripped my fucking throat out. I mean craig is beast, not gonna lie. but he should of left lyrics to max. he could of helped. But then again ETF is way way different from BTF. they kinda sound like BTF in some songs.

  • haha. i hate all that internet drama queen crap. i dont know why ppl get on here trying to make enemies. yeah hes pretty good. but somethings just not right w the new stuff. it seems like they really rushd the songwriting process. if you look at the tabs for some riffs you can tell. like the something intro. and i thnk the lyrics wouldve been better had they not thought them up on the spot. i wouldve been alot happier listening to an awesome record coming out late then a bad one they rushed.

  • @HI123IM456JOHN789 In what way did escape the fate create a new genre? I'm assuming thats who ETF is since I don't know any other band with those initial's, but seriously ETF is nothing more than a modern hair metal band, at least when they had Ronnie they had a unique vocal sound... now they're just terrible.

  • @kappazim im pretty sure ive seen ronnie live n he is just wasted n doesnt even sing half of the song. hes better for escape the fate wen they are recorded but craig is so much better in all aspects

  • i ♥ this song.. hahahaha.. like, this is for my baby.. AWESOME.. i ♥ everything about this song.. AMAZING..

  • I have such a schoolboy crush on Ash. Come back to LaCrosse, guys.

  • New Years Day has to be my favorite band, hands down.

    This is one of my favorite songs by them (: <3

    I love it!

  • this song is a good inspiration for my band , here in brazil . hehiei

    it's a good song.

  • lmfao "its all about etf", stfu u mainstream poser. just listen to the music and stop advertising these mainstream pieces of crap

  • fckrz everywhere i go itz all about etf, dudez just leave that behind,,,,

  • CAN PPL JUST ENJOY THE DAM MUSIC seriously stop being stupid n enjoy the talent of other bands, this band is really good talk about them not etf

  • anyone now where to download this song for free?? Really love it and I wanna put it on my phone so i can listen to it during my classes!

  • WOW, Flaming Craig Mabbit On A "New Years Day" video?

    Take your hate elsewhere. Ronnie was amazing yes, but craig is good aswell. There is no two ways about it, stop being narrow minded children and grow up and accept the world of music.

  • ♥♥♥

  • i always listen to this 10x a day

    haha xD

  • i cant get over you , i cant get over you ..

    *sigh*

  • did you mean the old ETF?

  • Escape the fate

  • the old escape the fate kicks ass. the new ETF singer craig has a corn on the cob stuck up his butt

  • this song fits me so well right now.

  • It also fits 100000 other people. Does this bother your unique, uncomformist attitude?

  • hahaha lol good call.

  • the riffs sounds like ETF....

    d same as modern day escape...

  • haha yea modern day escape is sad they are wannabe escape the fates...like the worst

  • So we remind a couple of you of ESCAPE THE FATE? I'm sorry. Maybe we're listening to two different links. The song I'm listening to has a girl singing, nobody screaming, and pop punk/straight up rock music. No offense to E.T.F., but holy mackerel, that's a stretch and a half, and then some more halves!

  • ahahahaha loving the music! I'll agree some of the chordal poppy stuff is a tad like ETF, but i see more similarity to paramore. thanx for this song, sounds tailormade for me :D lol and she says holy mackerel too...

  • I love this song soo much

    p.s there is only ONE person who says holy mackerAl! XD : D : ) xxx

  • in a small way they remind me of ETF idk why i think its the chorus

    their an awesome band though

  • ♥

  • wonderful <3

  • Cudoo ;)

  • yey!!

  • I lovvvvve this song!

    My second favee!

    *i'm so pathetic , i make my self sick. i cant get over you, i cant get over any of this <3"
