  The Goo Goo Dolls ’ 1998 album  Dizzy Up the Girl  encapsulates the acoustic alt-rock sound that listeners can instantly identify late '90s rock. The follow up to their massive 4x platinum record released four years later,  Gutterflower ,  charted higher than their previous records, but ultimately sold much less than  Dizzy . The band continues to release music from time to time, including this year's Chaos in Bloom , but their heyday remains in 1998. Gutterflower  is a fine record and “ Here Is Gone ” is a fine song.

Capitalizing on the pop-punk sound of the time Tooth & Nail signed Search the City , and they released their first album A Fire So Big the Heavens Can See It in 2008.   The band played at Tooth & Nail Day at Cornerstone that year and produced several radio singles from the radio-friendly album. Tongue-in-cheek lyrics in songs like " Son of a Gun " and " Ambulance Chaser " lyrically could connect this Detroit-based band with the likes of a clean-lyriced Blink-182 , Angels or Airwaves , or Relient K . Five years after Fire , the band reformed with a new drummer, bassist, and vocalist, 21-year-old Travis Bobier , who was much younger than the other band members. The 2012 album Flight  was very similar to Fire, with   Bobier's vocal performance on the album of high-register, energetic emo sound like original singer Josh Frost .  YOU HAVE A PLACE TO CALL YOUR OWN THAT NO ONE CAN EVERY TAKE FROM YOU.
