Not just for the beach itself, but blast them out of your car on the way there. You'll suddenly see all the aggressive and/or moronic drivers around you mellow out and put a smile on their face.

[FitchLaX24]

Always Slightly Stoopid for me. Hands down.

[Stringer4Lax]

Agent Orange (california punk band)
In Flames
As Blood Runs Black
Lamb of God
just to name a few, ya i know its not conventional "beach" music. but i cant stand mellow junk music.

EDIT- almost forgot about Dropkick Murphys

Well not all the time no...especially around Annapolis/Severin River Bridge/Bay Bridge back-up and the slow down in between 404 and Easton. From Cambridge on though everyone's mood lightens up.

much agreed,
"white rover"... and "kiss me i'm... poop faced"?
those tend to make you just want to, well get a nice glass, put a few ice cubes in, and top it off with some jamesn's...


but back on topic for the original post.

311

[Glaxer09]

slightly stoopid, citizen cope, dispatch. Awesome chill bands

And where you reefs as you listen?
Are you trying to look like a dudebro? aha, just playing.

This is good music

[Glaxer09]

i almost forgot when my add kicks in and im pumped cause im on vacation i rokk basshunter

[murderlax]

i cant believe "reel big fish" hasnt been mentioned.
they are the empitome of beach music.
old school punk like rancid or goldfinger is pretty awesome too.
ska/punk is the way to go for beach music, but when im looking for a "sing along" song, i listen to bands with vocalists whose voices can be mistaken for that of a woman(circa survive, taking back sunday,...)

i dont normally blast my hardcore stuff when going to the beach, it just doesnt fit the occasion.
