And so we turn back to music in seek of consolation and as a way to forget the disappointing end to a great football season. One of the best reasons to look forward to the next week of music? Lifetime, the melodic hardcore band out of New Jersey, returns with their first album in a full decade. The band originally disbanded back in 1997, but after a successful one-off reunion for charity back in 2005 they felt a spark reignite and eventually headed back into the studio. Instead of returning to Jade Tree, their former label, their self-titled new album will be coming out on Decaydance, the vanity label of one Mr. Pete Wentz (Fall Out Boy). I suppose this sort of makes up for foisting Panic! at the Disco on the world. At least this attachment to Wentz will help get more copies into more stores, in turn showing the young kids what real sing-along punk rock sounds like. If you've never had the pleasure of checking out Lifetime, take a listen to the songs below.
Lifetime - "25 Cent Giraffes" (taken from Jersey's Best Dancers)
Lifetime - "Myself" (taken from Somewhere In the Swamps of Jersey)

I think Lifetime is a pretty fine album that's on par with their Jade Tree material.
