Well, I assume that if you're reading this, you've noticed my new theme. For those of you who either don't live in America or don't like baseball, I guess you don't really know what team this is. Well, my new theme is celebrating my favorite Major LeagueBaseball Team (besides the Tampa Bay Rays) THE 2010 WORLD SERIES CHAMPION SAN FRANCISCO GIANTS! This is the first time that they've won the series since they moved to San Francisco, and I couldn't be happier! :D :D :D
Well enough about that, back to my Favorite Bands/Musical Artists Countdown!

Rise Against
A punk band from Chicago, Rise Against is the closest thing to screamo that I'll listen to. They're also very politically active, and I agree with them on practically everything.
