The Everybody Else Is Doing It, So Why Can’t We? single was the band’s first major hit. “I was 18, and the youngest member of the band was 16 at the time. We never imagined it’d be such a big hit.”

March Madness Bracket Challenge
March Madness is upon us. I’ve created an ESPN group if you’d like to fill out a bracket (or two). I’ll gift the winner of our group this year a free supporter package for a year as a prize.1
You can find all the times for the games here, and our NCAA Basketball thread is always a great place to be during the games themselves.
If you’re already a supporter I’ll extend your package for free, since I don’t have merch or stickers made yet to give out. I should get on that.↩
