The Tea Party

I Read The News Today... For May 24, 2011

Crash Karma Don’t Care About Competing With Our Lady Peace

Here's a question that could land you an easy $200 on Jeopardy: When did Our Lady Peace start to suck?

Have Danko Jones Come Under The Spell Of Evil?

I love the guys in Danko Jones but I'm getting a little worried about them. Word has it they've come under the spell of a dark influence, and we're not talking Axl Rose or any of the sludge metal bands The Mango Kid loves so dearly.

The Passion Of The Christ Inspires Scott Stapp And The Tea Party's Debut Single
