Late ’90s Nostalgia: Wasting Time Drops Anthemic New Melodic Punk Single “Ripped Blue Jeans”

Toronto’s melodic punk lifers Wasting Time are back with their new single, “Ripped Blue Jeans,” out December 12th via People of Punk Rock Records. The track is a nostalgic rush of anthemic hooks that captures the heart-on-sleeve energy of the late ’90s punk era, echoing the honesty and grit of bands like Alkaline Trio and No Use for a Name. Serving as the first taste of their upcoming full-length, Are You Out Of Your God Damn Mind?, the single is a reminder of a simpler time, before algorithms, soundtracked by sweat, stale beer, and powerful melodic pop-punk.

Do you know what I really want?

ONE BUTTON to turn of ALL AI assistants on my damn computer. Every single one. With one press of a button, rather than doing it for every single program or site separately, and doing it again, and again, and again, after every single fucking update or restart.

Why do monkeys waste time on frivolous activities rather than cooperate to make tools and build industries?
