The following took place between the hours of 11:00 am and 10:00 pm on July 22, 2014. The following is a firsthand account. The following is a true story.

Traffic. This being my fourth Warped I should have expected such a thing. The thruways around Merriweather Post Pavilion aren’t expressly equipped to handle such a single-day influx. Predictable as the predicament is, it’s no less brow furrowing. I bet the pioneers didn’t have to deal with covered wagon backups on the old dusty trail. Then again, they didn’t have a nation-touring 70+ band all day experience to enjoy either. A few moments pass wherein I contemplate Warped Tour circa 1868. Gives brand new meaning to the term “bandwagon,” eh?

It’s been nearly 4 years since I’ve played in a band. That really sucks, but life happens; I moved back home, finished up school, got a big boy job, all the good shit. I still work with music, I just never got around to joining another band. Sometimes I would get the fleeting urge to start back up, reflecting to myself, “Man, that was awesome.” For much of those last four years, it’s been anything but an all-consuming feeling. The way I saw it, if it happened again one day that would be cool, but it wasn’t a really pressing thing.

That isn’t really the case anymore, and I place a lot of the blame for that on pop-punk.

Here at Alternate Frequency, we’re interested in one thing: good music. We’re not here to be those pretentious guys foisting themselves and their opinions on you like they’re the only ones that matter. For everything we know about music, there’s easily twice as much out there that we don’t know, and we’re the first to admit that. We’re just two guys who are obsessed enough with music to start up a website devoted to discovering and discussing it.
