All That We Needed, Plain White T's

This new music really did pull on my heartstrings when I listened to it. The lyrics are so close to life and I feel many people can/will relate to it.

The songs have various themes and yet they all pertain to REAL life situations.
A band that does touch on real life situations will have a great impact on our society. People from all walks of life will be affected by it. I know for me when I listened to the music I could feel the emotion of the music and the passion in the band running through the music and the singing.

The songs touch our emotional life, creating a sense of urgency to do something about whatever situation we are facing, and confront it now.

The lyrics reflect our society, the disc is full of awareness, and that reflects back to the band. They are a group that really gets out there and they do make a difference in our lives. I am very pleased to see a group such as the Plain White T's creating such great stuff.

It touched me very deeply, and I know you also will be affected by their awareness of life and how it comes through in their lyrics and music.

    I'm 13 years old and I couldn't agree more. At my age it feels like no one is listening and to be able to listen to music and have such a great connection with the music is fanaminale. Yes, i have been to more than one concert and the guys are all around great people.These boys have a great future ahead of them. I'll always be there to support them.
    KEEP ROCK'N

    Plain White T's are one of the best bands out now, being a "punk" for 17 years I have seen this scene go from underground to the mainstream and PWT is what this music and life are all about. Not only is their music genuine they are also great guys, having spent a lot of time with them I know what amazing people these guys are, their live show is full of fans that they have made from years of touring and they are on the brink of making it huge, watch for this band in the near future
