Yesterday Rules

The Mr. T Experience

Witty, literate pop punk that trades teenage angst for mid-life reflection. Jangly guitars and dry humor meet unexpected country-rock flourishes.

January 13, 2004 · Lookout! Records

A clever, slightly weary reflection on romantic failure and the passage of time, delivered with a sharp tongue and a catchy hook.

Moments Worth Listening For

The unexpected country-tinged twang and organ swell on the title-adjacent themes of 'Fucked Up on Life'.

The way the frantic punk energy gives way to a vulnerable, stripped-back acoustic coda in the six-minute closer 'Take All the Time You Need'.

The sharp, rhythmic delivery of the satirical laundry list in 'Institutionalized Misogyny'.
