Ceasefire, East Finchley and Somewhere Inbetween are absolutely AMAZING introspective songs, I love it when he does stuff like that, because he does it SO INSANELY well

trying to get him & Laura Jane Grace to stop constantly touring is impossible, I am not complaining! Gotta love Folk Punk musicians that were separated from their main bands but never stopped making music :)
