these guys shoulda been huge, they definitely deserved it. I saw them opening for Good Charlotte in 2004 and have listened to their stuff since then, kinda a bummer more people didnt get to appreciate it.
@@witnessme4352 Good point. My wife went to school with James and said he got 1600 on the SAT's. I wonder if has to do with math and music ability having strange overlap.
@@epinephrinmusic is very mathematical so yes definitely. Speaking as an engineer and composer myself lol. Freaking loved this album when I was in middle school
Then tell him from me “how this song didn’t catapult him to world wide acclaim I’ll never know!! Me and my mates still rate this as one of our favourite tracks ever…like 20 years late!!” ❤
It's Awesome that my 2 favorite punk rock members from my favorite punk band Good Charlotte Joel Madden N Benji Madden signed this great band for awhile under the DC Flag Records Man it sucks that their record label don't go on anymore but i'm happy to been apart of when they announced that they've signed these guys Lola Ray N also Hazen Street
dude this is cool stuff... I remember hearing this on Muchmusic or Fuse. nowadays I don't listen to mainstream stuff, mostly just punk music but this is a good song.
Lucky Bastard... Say thank you for his music please, I really enjoy it and I'm sad I've never been able to see it in person. I know he probably hears it alot but thank you very much!
This song has been stuck to me since NHL 2005. Last night I got a message from my little sister, she asked me "What was that song we used to listen to when we were kids? Metallic Girl?" And I was like "AUTOMATIC Girl!!!" Few moments later; "THANK YOU SO MUCH, BROTHER!!". I didnt know I used to listen to it THAT much haha.
@sirena90 I agree with you, but on the flipside they had this kickass song in NHL 2005!!! If you think about it, throughout the entire history of music EA had to choose from for the game, they chose these guys.. To me, that right there is a pretty good accomplishment!!!
Another example of a great album by a single songwriter (from what I understand, the singer wrote the music and the band is hired guns - his old high school friends) I truly think it's better that way. The Strokes is another good example. The first couple albums or so were mostly written by Julian, the singer.
singer is working on other projects, but they are going to put out another record. he's also playing with another band called The Sequel who is not as good as lola ray
Okay so my music "genre" is of all types. But I'd have to say Jon Balicanta has the hottest voices EVER. Along with Brandon Boyd. Sorry rappers can't "sing"
It's almost 2024 and still waiting for this to be on Spotify
me too. i'm almost certain it was there at one point, then removed for some reason
Their second album “Liars” is on Spotify
Sameee
2024, still waiting on Apple Music as well 😂
seriously lol
Here I am in 2023 buying their albums a second time out of fear that they will become lost media 😭 They should have gotten way more appreciation
Takes me back to NHL 2005 soundtrack when I was in 4th grade. I love this song so much! They need to get this on the streaming services now!
these guys shoulda been huge, they definitely deserved it. I saw them opening for Good Charlotte in 2004 and have listened to their stuff since then, kinda a bummer more people didnt get to appreciate it.
Same story, completely agree! I kept waiting for them to blow up!
Same. A show in Salem, Oregon. I still love these guys.
I saw them open for GC too! 2005 in San Diego.
A friend of mine saw them open for GC let me borrow the album after and I fell in love was badly hoping to see them get big.
i wish it was 2004 man
Love this song!! I first heard it on NHL 2005!!!!
Adam Workey me too
Same
nice same. you should listen to The Real Zebos I think they have a cool vibe
damn ...the same story bro
Really cool band. The bassist, James McIvor is one of my math instructors at UC Berkeley. It is pretty awesome.
Why does every underrated emo band have someone who ends up being someone's math teacher?

I live 2 blocks from the lead singer. My daughter plays at their house all the time. What a wonderful family.
Then tell him from me “how this song didn’t catapult him to world wide acclaim I’ll never know!! Me and my mates still rate this as one of our favourite tracks ever…like 20 years late!!” ❤
absolutely criminal that they weren’t one of the most popular bands of the 00s. drum fill at 1:29 clears my skin every time.
Dang, that IS super rad at 1:29
I literally spent hours trying to remember this music video. I found it!!! I found it almost 10 years later. I'm so happy
Fucking snap.
Here I am in 2021 just having that very same moment, can’t even find them on iTunes
God dangit this band definitely deserved more hype! Listened when it released, still jamming in 2021!
What I don't understand why this band never blew up. They came out in mid 2000s, during that era they should of been a hit.
I’ve had this on CD since it first came out
NHL 2005. Hello world!
NHL 2005 ❤
It's Awesome that my 2 favorite punk rock members from my favorite punk band Good Charlotte Joel Madden N Benji Madden signed this great band for awhile under the DC Flag Records Man it sucks that their record label don't go on anymore but i'm happy to been apart of when they announced that they've signed these guys Lola Ray N also Hazen Street
This whole album was amazing. Plague, what it feels like, this song, we're all top tier
This song and Ash's song Orpheus stuck in my head for years because of NHL 2005!
so many hours Ive played dynasty mode on NHL 2005 with this in my ears
I luv this band
I still love this song!
why isnt this on spotify???
It might be an exclusive to NHL 2005.
zEternalTired used to be, wondering this too. The rest of my childhood nhl soundtrack is but not this...
I used to have this album way back in the day. I’m really bummed it’s not on Spotify.
I still have this CD. It was at Best Buy. They didn't survive long enough to make the jump to streaming or they don't own the rights anymore.
Forever one of my favorite bands!!! I even got a tattoo of them!
Lola Ray should have been huge. This album needs a re-release!! 🖤
This song seriously has good arranging and sounds. I loved the song when it came out during my high school year.
I saw these guys on MTV Advanced Warning maybe even late 90s I fell in love with this song!! It's a shame they felt the need to censor the chorus :(
Thought these guys were going to be huge in 2004. Not so. Glad the video is on youtube.
Who is listening in 2018🙋🏼♀️
2019
Now 2020
Red Aftermath omg thank you for reminding me of this
cool song and of course i very like NHL 2005!!!!!
Everyone saying they were so great, go listen to their album back in 2022. This band still rocks!
dude this is cool stuff... I remember hearing this on Muchmusic or Fuse. nowadays I don't listen to mainstream stuff, mostly just punk music but this is a good song.
One of the most underrated songs of all time
i miss this band... so much..
This song is 10 years old? Wow....
NHL 2005 :D
haha I like how it censors 'guns' and 'killing'
A million years have passed since I first heard this song and it still gets stuck in my head, millennia later. Such a good fucking song ❤❤
Saw these guys open for Phantom Planet when I was a teenager in 2004. Haven't heard a peep from them since, but oh, the memories... :-)
seen them twice then they disappeared. OMG!
they deserved so much better
I work with John... I'll pass on the compliments. He's a pretty chill dude.
Lucky Bastard... Say thank you for his music please, I really enjoy it and I'm sad I've never been able to see it in person. I know he probably hears it alot but thank you very much!
Tamsyn Cox Please tell them how much I fckn love his music. They were ahead of their time, their energy was contagious
wow I just saw these hahahahahaha yes of course I will tell him lol
This song has been stuck to me since NHL 2005. Last night I got a message from my little sister, she asked me "What was that song we used to listen to when we were kids? Metallic Girl?"

I didnt know I used to listen to it THAT much haha.
Omg today I found their CD looking through my storage space!!! I used to listen to this song on REPEATTTTT. Memories 🖤
i like how it was edited in nhl 2005. they used goal horns for censors and it actually fit well
I remember finding their second album in the virgin megastore in nyc. It’s a crime I still can’t find them on iTunes.
This song could've been an anime opening. I remember them on purevolume.
I’m a lyft driver and a customer said his old math teacher was in this band lol
Omg a trip down memory lane 😭
I saw Lola Ray open for the Killers in Reno, and they had it all...great guys, great personalities too....
NHL 2005 nostalgic 😃
only 70,500 views as of Aug 5, 2012... this is a disgrace, this song deserves way more
Still waiting for the album to go on Spotify
Met these guys at warped tour about 16 years ago. Had their ep with this and like 5 other songs. The good ole days
They opened for SUM41 and Good Charlotte when I was 13 in seattle I'm 30 now hahahaha good memories and I
where did they goooooo????
Combined with great gameplay!
A fun game...how strange.
@sirena90 I agree with you, but on the flipside they had this kickass song in NHL 2005!!! If you think about it, throughout the entire history of music EA had to choose from for the game, they chose these guys.. To me, that right there is a pretty good accomplishment!!!
Loved you guys back in Vegas !!
Ahh takes me back to freshman year of highschool
Still listening to this in 2023, I guess John is still making music here and there. Has an IG
The guy playing Bass is doing a PhD is math at UC Berkeley
Market Street pub in '04 opening for Pepper in Gainesville, Fl. They sounded better live! Stunned they didn't blow up.
Pure nostalgia
finally found it. i first saw this on a dvd sampler hehe. love this song.
Knight Life Studios what was the dvd i think i had it too but full music video on it
NHL 05!!!!
I met them a few times good guys plus had some great songs
Saw them years ago when they opened for Zebrahead and Lucky Boys Confusion. They were cool and hung around outside talking to people before the show.
Honestly needs more recognition
I'm with the rest of y'all. What happened to these guys? Loved them!
Oh yeah I'm a fan great song man y'all got mad skills Alex you are kicking those drums I love it😀
Another example of a great album by a single songwriter (from what I understand, the singer wrote the music and the band is hired guns - his old high school friends)
I truly think it's better that way. The Strokes is another good example. The first couple albums or so were mostly written by Julian, the singer.
How can this only have have 100k views?!
Keep rocking 😎 you are kool rokers. I no you and disks try slipknot
why are "guns" and "killing" censored -_-
so goooooood! NEEEDS more views!!!!!!!!!!!
Its not youtube, the uncensored video was never released. Its sitting in the basement of a studio somewhere
Why did the edit out "We got a couple of killing machines"?
john can you have mini concert at kevin abadilla's house lol.
Come back!!!!!!!!!! Please!!!!!!!!!!
Those who didn't know, Who wasn't expecting the lead singer to be Asian?
Reminds me of this knockout Russian girl in HS. She was automatic bc any guy who looked at her got an involuntary stiffler.
Old school.
Banger!
im mad this band never made it anywhere
😍😍😍😍
Hello from 2024 xoxo
Fuck yeah
Why is this not on spotify?
singer is working on other projects, but they are going to put out another record. he's also playing with another band called The Sequel who is not as good as lola ray
Where is he now?
the censorship makes it sound dirtier than it actually is
Oh my gooodnessss I love this album. Is is possible to get it? Like hard copy?
Our Brown Friends.
Wonder what happened to them.
you really dont see asian lead singers a lot haha
or just asian descendents in general... only James Iha from Smashing Pumpkins comes to my mind rn
@njdevils17 Yeah. I wish that was the official version.
I hate that word guns has been censored from this song... WHAT BAD IS IN THAT WORD!?
Best regards: Killing Machine
@TheHockeyVids i would have to disagree...THSP had some EPIC soundtracks :)
What happened to this band??? No Spotify. Just gone. Lol.
Great song, what happened?
This song is awesome but why does the lead singer look like every waiter at every dive pizza restaurant ever
Adam Betar because this was years before they all adopted it lol
2019 hai
does anyone else recoginze one of the madden boys in the video joel and benji's brother !!!
Okay so my music "genre" is of all types. But I'd have to say Jon Balicanta has the hottest voices EVER. Along with Brandon Boyd. Sorry rappers can't "sing"
