This band will always be, in my eyes the greatest band ever. They’ve never gotten the respect they deserve. Lajon Witherspoon is to me one of the greatest vocalists, you’ve never heard of. Which is sad. I look forward too everything these guys put out. It’s always great! Also, I turned 32 this year. For my birthday, my daughters got me, a signed “All I See is War” album poster. Easily the coolest birthday gift I ever received.

Absolutely a great band that has been underrated for a LONG TIME!! I have had the privilege of meeting several members on multiple occasions and every single time they are humble, appreciative, and incredibly down to earth. Example: in Providence, Lajon and Clint walk into a bar I am “pre-gaming” at. I recognize them and flag them over…introduced myself, and stated I (and my friend) we are coming to see you guys tonight. Can I buy you a beer? Lajon: no hesitation…thank you so much for the recognition and support. Ended up buying us a round…signed our tix, then told us which bus was theirs so that we could meet the rest of the guys…..then gave a shoutout to us during the show. So nice…..all of them….every single time. No ego, just love their fans. Thats a short story vs. meeting Lajon at an Ozzfest in 98 which is much longer and much more awesome. LOVE THESE GUYS!!

Heather, could agree more with first comment you made. I work as the production manager at the arena they played last night (8/13/23) and during soundcheck prior/after Lajon as well as the 2 guitarists and bass player took time to meet me, sign something and actually hold a small discussion with me about my history of how I nearly wore their CD's out in late 90's and early 00's. My college years. They were one of my all-time favs at that point. All great gentlemen! Didn't have to do any of that but so appreciated. Most don't do that when groups and such come to my arena. Plenty of bands and artists are way too full of themselves. Yes, most artists are talented but they wouldn't be were they are today if the public didn't put them there.

Literally the coolest band even outside their music.

Over 20 years later and still chills. 🤘🏻

I sat covered in a hundred peoples sweat on a bench Outside The Grove after a performance in Lincoln Nebraska One Summer Night. As my friend passed the joint back, someone flopped down on my left and asked if they could hit it. As I looked up and passed it I realized it was Lajon Witherspoon. As my memories disappear, I am very pleased to keep this one. 🤘🤘

Long before I trusted in the KZread algorithm to bring me new bands, I trusted in Much Music (Canada's equivalent to MTV) back when they actually played music videos on it. I forgot what I was waiting for, but I remember seeing this come on and I lost my shit. It was so damn good back then and it still is now. I can't even count how many times I listened to Animosity from start to finish everyday in high school, blasting my headphones on a nice and worn discman I took with me everywhere.

I crank up this fucken song. Every time it's on.
