Say It Like You Mean It (Blue/Green Haze) 2XLP

Album Details

Not many 17-year-olds could say that they are already living out their dreams, but for The Starting Line's singer/bass player, Ken Vasoli, life is one big dream. After signing to Drive-Thru at the tender age of 16, Ken took night and summer classes so that he could graduate from High School a year early. What was supposed to be his senior year of school turned into every kid's fantasy: a year of touring, traveling the country, meeting new people, making new friends, and flying to the U.K. for the first time to play with labelmates and newfound friends New Found Glory. The Starting Line's first release in July 2001 was the 5-song EP With Hopes of Starting Over, which proved to be more rewarding than the band could have ever imagined. Twenty-five thousand copies later, TSL is selling out 300-800 capacity venues across the country on their first-ever headlining tour.
Say It Like You Mean It, TSL's debut full-length  showcases a more mature style of songwriting well beyond their years,without compromising the sense of untainted youth and freshness. The charm of this band is overflowing in the story-style lyrics, the urgency and the sincerity. The buzz is strong, and is only getting bigger.
