Union 13- "I can't stand it anymore"

In our youth a simple life,

filled with things we love,

then and now we see

and realize the conflicts that confront us

as we grow old.

My very first experience in the Los Angeles Punk Rock scene was a Union 13 show in mid 2000 at The Troubadour in West Hollywood. That shit was CRAZY. Ever since that show, I always managed to keep a following eye on the band amidst their multiple roster changes and periodic hiatus episodes throughout the years. With the slow melodic introduction leading into a rollercoaster of highs and lows in the chord progression and momentum of the record, this is one of my favorites.
