Like Weezer but poppier. Like NOFX but funnier. Like the Beatles but cuter.

RIP Tony Lewis of The Outfield. We’re ready to pick up where you left off.

If @awillawayct notices an inordinate number of streams on Apple Music or Spotify coming from Des Moines, Iowa, it’s because our singer cannot get enough of the new Soup EP. Every A Will Away release is amazing.

Hey @tyschmit how can a band whose singer is a UI alum and current UI adjunct get its music to you? Spotify? MP3 through email? Excited to hear what you think!

Eric Nelson is the singer, main songwriter, and guitarist for Iowa Pop-Punk mainstay @holdforswank. We sit down and discuss the transformation of Hold For Swank, playing the @sxsw Music Festival, playing the @IowaStateFair, and redefining “success” as a band.

Our buddy @NotDrDeath cared about us enough to review “Alicia” on the Place to Be Nation POP Songs With Friends Podcast. @PTBN_Songs The show dissects the song and basically dives into psychiatric evaluation. Which is relevant, because we need it. itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/…

Our version of “Your Love” is not creepy, Kelly. It’s better than any version The Outfield ever did.

Haha, yes, the “second bridge” of the song is me trying to talk myself into success. Even though I know better.

You need to listen to @JoyceManor “Friends We Met Online” - it’s basically about our crew.

“When” we don’t work is exactly right. It’s admission of defeat before the fight even starts.

Just got an “awww” from Kelly for being too nervous to deliver the mixtape to the girl. #womenhavethehugeupperhand

I just got called out for my faulty timeline. Taking artistic liberties, I wrote the song in college but it was set(-ish) in high school, when mixtapes were a thing and @Alkaline_Trio wasn’t yet.

People in Iowa love talking about each other’s new tattoos. We’re kinda nosy, like your neighbors to the south in Tennessee. #blessyerheaaarrrt

I never put 2 2 together about @Pink - but yeah, she would be a candidate as a subject for this song... if I thought she had a care in the world about @Alkaline_Trio

Yeah, I rhymed “you” with “you.” I ain’t too proud to beg.

Alright, I (Eric) am live-tweeting this as I listen to it. “Alicia” was featured on a number of very popular, very sketchy cable reality shows. And we’re proud (as we can be) that we were on MTV True Life “I’m Addicted to Porn.” As proud as its watchers.

Is it weird that I know perfectly well that I'm listening to my own Arena Rock playlist, but when I hear the cowbells in "Working For the Weekend," I get excited for @TalkIsJericho? @IAmJericho itunes.apple.com/us/playlist…

Twenty One Pilots is a dime-store Imagine Dragons. Which is saying something. @Imaginedragons is a poor man’s Outfield.
