Thanks for sharing.

There's some similarities here, just PJ is on a much lower scale popularity wise and in terms of the band's impact on pop culture.

This.

This band aint what it used to be. Which is fine. Bands change. Tastes change. I get that. But it could be better if Eddie would stop moving his jaw after every word he sings, completely ruining the performance in the process.

That comparison is perfect. As long as you don't count No Code, Yield, Binaural or Riot Act.

Which would make Vitalogy their New Jersey and No Code their Keep The Faith? Makes perfect sense.
