This week seemed difficult for the most part to write about an album that struck me… everyone has allot of suggestions, but nothing they recommended hit me as what I wanted to write about. Like most times I’ll hear a song and that’ll strike me and that’ll be the inspiration for the week. While standing in the local brewery waiting for my growler to be filled up I could hear Kabuki Girl playing the background and thought it’s been a long time since I’ve listened to the Descendants.
The Descendants are a great “Underground Punk Band” that I’m glad didn’t really get lumped into the green day shit… they had way more angst songs than most of the other bands at the time Hope is one of those songs that I think most guys have felt about a girl that never comes around… unrequited love is a story most everyone that is human has felt. This one kind of makes it seem like there’s a mistake that’s being made but that doesn’t matter because things will work out in the end because they’re won’t be any judgments.
Bikeage has that same fell to it, I remember back in the day I had a girl that I really l loved, but never told her and she tore herself down throughout the years. These lyrics really seem to speak the words that I would later tell her years later, after I got tired of watching her fall apart… later on in life she cleaned up and became productive in her life (shit she’s probably more straight edge than I am now). Some of these albums I choose are almost a catalog of my emotions and experiences through the years… funny thing about this one, are that I didn’t even hear the entirety of this one till about 5 years ago... so you should all PASS IT ON!!!
Pinata Hour is making a come back and you should listen DAMMIT!!!
