Key Teens have the key to my heart till the day they
die. I finally got to see them in real life at harbour water fest this year
after missing their set when I was in Montreal.
This tape is best enjoyed with kit kat pizza, stong beer, and a rooftop to sit on. Only
listen to this in the winter if you are driving somewhere far away with lots of
buds and need a moral boost after you have broken down, if you are having a swingin' party, or if you are afraid of passive aggressive
notes being left on the door to your room about smoking inside. Depressing and
heartbreaking though the lyrics may be, listening to this always makes my day a
little better, somehow..
SOMEHOW.
"SWINGIN' PARTY REPRISE" is
my favorite from the tape, “I know its sick, but I take comfort knowing, you're
never gonna hate me as much as I do” are the words
going through my head during uncomfortable pauses between the barely audible
sentences I sometimes can manage around my friends lately, don’t know why (yes
I do). Thanks a lot Steve. But I guess the song “STAY WEIRD” is there and compensates my downs with some ups.
I’m pretty sure "COLD COFFEE" is
written about me, and probably you as well if you’re reading this. I’ll bet
that if you filmed yourself from the moment you wake up to when you fall asleep
or pass out at night you could make a pretty sweet music video montage for
this song. I really hope that someone accepts this challenge.
The Dave End
cover is something that is something awesome. Very awesome.
If you like dual/overlapping vox,
drums that go “pop pop pop,
pop pop pop, chhh", punk bass, yelling along at shows, blink 182, and pizza,
you’ll like Key Teens. At least I hope that you will,
I do. Then again, I just really miss my friends, and I might just be listening
to this every day because I like hearing their voices. I don’t listen to pop
punk all too often anymore, so it’s a little significant how much I like this
tape.
Dear Key Teens, I can't articulate how much I love you. Thank you so much
for existing. When you get
back to Halifax, lets watch The Warriors and order garlic fingers. I think it
would be great.
blussshhhhhh
ReplyDeleteYeah I pretty much feel the same way about the key teens tape too. I get pumped and really energetic whenever I listen to it, but also sad that I'll never see them play again.... Reunion tour? Please?
ReplyDeleteWe haven't broken up! Just because we'll be living in different cities doesn't mean we can't keep jamming, we're just going to do a lot of traveling!
ReplyDeleteOh! That's awesome news! I thought you were gone forever...
