Space Buns – Your Party Sucks
Any type of creative exercise, if done properly, feels real enough to make you believe all the things it says, and fake enough so that none of the people involved with it will have to answer in front of a judge.
That’s the kind of luxury that overly intense young punks Space Buns want in their lives. Writing allows the author to create divine worlds and populate them. But it also allows them to hang a noose from the tallest tree and have their enemy dangle from it.
What a career choice! What a way to spend your free time! Because, unless you’re busy trying to show that you can write songs for Sabrina Carpenter, playing rock music is still a way to get back at the people you hate, and, maybe, even at yourself, and have some people clapping when you’re done.
“Your Party Sucks” by Space Buns is a melodic punk-rock track filled with dream, self-doubt and the desire to work against fitting in. Perfect! That’s pretty much the essence of the vast majority of punk songs. Space Buns would rather focus all of their colossal levels of energy on disproving any myths about them and on listing all of the things that they’re never going to do. Great! Real punks rarely accent invitations anyway.
Petty Human Emotions – Dead Air
Negativity can be a wonderful thing when employed properly. Negativity has likely inspired or powered many of the things that you do nowadays. It makes someone want to rise to the top of their profession, to invent wonderful things, and to create beautiful, life-affirming work. It can also help artists earn and retain a degree that’ll save them from becoming Chris Martin.
Petty Human Emotions certainly believe in the potential of using adversity as fuel. But it can all easily go a different way. People who do not have a creative outlet often succumb to self-destructive urges. It’s the other side of the coin, and the one that lands for most folks. Those who let these feelings simmer for too long are lost.
“Dead Air” is the latest single by Petty Human Emotions. It was born out of frustration, and it tells the story of disintegrating relationships. It very much sounds like the punk-rock alternative to smashing your fist into a wall. And while such emotions are natural, they’re not to be trusted. Instead, do yourself a favour and let it all go through a tune like “Dead Air,” a melodic, angry, modern classic.
