Jon Wayne and the Pain have really put themselves in a league of their own with there second release Follow Through. I cant tell you how refreshing it is to hear an album that doesn't follow the typical mapped out structure for an album in this scene. Jons lyrics alone stand on a new level that is something that can elevate this scene to new levels. Lending their talents to the album are a few of Slightly Stoopids members Christofer “C Money” Welter and Daniel “DELA” Dela Cruz. If your looking for an album that blends Sublime, Long Beach Short Bus, and Slightly Stoopid rolled into one then look no further.
