Which artist were you a fan of first? Write the story of the song that made you a fan.

Blink-182 was the gateway band to pretty much everything I listen to now, and I know I’m not alone in that. Their approachable, bratty punk rock sound hooked me instantly, especially when I first heard "Dammit".

From there, I started digging deeper into punk, and the Atticus: Dragging the Lake compilations played a huge role. That’s where I discovered bands like Taking Back Sunday, Thrice, The Early November, Spitalfield, From Autumn To Ashes, Thrice and Armor for Sleep, which pushed me further into the scene.

I was suddenly more interested in knowing more about punk rock.
