Posted July 21, 2009 by Megan Rondeau
So far, I have to say that July has been a great month! I got to enjoy 4th of July fireworks and a vegan cookout, spend time on Warped Tour watching Hit the Lights and A Day to Remember, finally saw Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, and today new albums from two of my favorite bands came out! Not only have Four Year Strong and Set Your Goals worked with peta2 before to stand up for animals, but they both had new albums hit stores today and are currently out on the road together in support of these releases.
This Will be the Death of Us is Set Your Goals‘ highly anticipated follow up to 2006′s Mutiny and their first since signing to Epitaph Records. As a huge fan of this band, I can say this album was definitely worth the wait! Tracks like “Summer Jam” and “The Fallen” are destined to be summer anthems, while songs like “Look Closer” and “Gaia Bleeds (Make Way for Man)” have a much more serious message, and definitely one that can be applied to animal rights.
Worcester, MA, natives Four Year Strong have looked to the past for inspiration for their new album, Explains it All, which is a cover album of ’90s songs. I may have been a baby of the ’80s, but I grew up in the ’90s and some of these songs definitely hold a special place in my heart! Who else could pull off covering Smashing Pumpkins, Third Eye Blind, and No Doubt?
If you haven’t checked out these new jams yet, I suggest you get on it! And be sure to buy your tickets to the bands’ co-headlining tour before they sell out! Comment with your favorite song from the ’90s and two winners will be chosen at random to receive a copy of both bands’ new CDs. Entries must be received by July 29 and winners will be notified by July 31.

Too long to explain here, it's long enough for a novel.
Father loves to farm, be self sustainable, loves to read, he's a antiques/vintage auctioneer, art student, and looks like mr. Rogers. My mother is a Montessori teacher and is amazing with children, all about local organic foods, loves gardening, cooking etc. my sister who is nine years older than me was into indie music and introduced me to all sorts of things at a young age. This all rubbed of on me and from that base I grew into similar things. I'm an INFJ
I'm tall, a geek, nacho - obsessed, I love sewing and Cath Kidston, also I'm vegetarian (wannabe vegan.)
Jersey girl now I'm all country.
I love animals about as much as rock, heavy metal, tea, and coffee. Hoping to make a difference and help animals through PETA!!!
Life On A Tour Bus
I am Angela. When I am not helping animals I am listening to music, reading, or playing video games. My spirit animal is a fox and I love nature. What else is there to know? Want to know anything about me, need advice or anything message me :)
Well let's just say life ain't always beautiful but it's a beautiful ride. I love all my pets and would do anything for them. I have one dog, two cats, a ferret and my babygirl shaymin,(the cutest hedgehog alive) I'm into all different kinds of music. I'm a singer myself and love art.

Only one 90′s song?! That’s difficult!
Ok, I think I’m going to have to go with Meat Loaf’s “I would do anything for love” because it holds some great memories for me.

Probably would have to be something by Backstreet Boys, like Larger Than Life (though that was released in ’99, so it’s hardly 90s), or Smells Like Teen Spirit by Nirvana.

My favorite song from the 90s would probably be “Come Out And Play” by The Offspring or “Freak On A Leash” by KoRn.
I love Set Your Goals, though! And my best friend’s favorite band is Four Year Strong, so this would be a great gift for him
