Why must it be a June bug?

June bugs feed on trees, shrubs, and other plants. They are the monster that rises from your backyard making your garden turn from heaven to hell.
"What is in store? Big bug; it's a June bug. Flying at me; I need a huge hug. Kill me. Oh please…rather die than to see a June bug."
A little emo. All rock. Scat! "Junebug" by Fencer is one crazy and heavy song about a ridiculous fear. The drums, guitar, and vocals are all played insanely fast. The lead singer even scats about June bugs in the rhythm of the lead guitar.

Maybe the band members are huge nature activists or maybe they just really hate the look of this beetle. Either way, this song is clearly made in hatred of June bugs.
"See a June bug; don't be a June bug. See a June bug; don't be a June bug. Why must it be a June bug?"
Found throughout a huge chunk of Texas, mostly in the greater Dallas-Fort Worth area, is a beer called June Bug Summer Wheat by Nine Band Brewing but this is not the beer to pair with this humorously dark song.

After all, this jam is about hating June bugs, not finding them pleasant, and the summer wheat is a light and crisp ale that anyone would find refreshing. However, Nine Band has many great beers including their Toad Chocker Barley Wine.
"Big eyes and terrifies me and all of the other guys."
Nine Band's mentions "when the rainclouds boil up out west, and lightning makes the coyotes’ hair stand on end, we know we’re in for an all-powerful, gully-washing, toad-choker downpour." This complex barley wine will quench your desire with earthy tones of coffee and caramel. And it's heavy just like Fencer's single.

Mean bugs and vicious storms…nature can be terrifying.

Sometimes the only way out is as a carcass.

You're in the Mafia and you made a deal with the devil. You promised to follow through but you got caught. Now you're going to court and you can't bring up who you're working with. If you do, it's the end of you. "I bet my billionth bottom dollar on a hopeless case and now the devil on my shoulder has a knife to my face." Maybe it's time to talk to daddy. After all, he has connections. He can get you out of anything. But then again, if he helps you, you will pay. No, not with money; you're broke after paying your lawyer. You'll pay with something much more severe, most likely your life. "Sometimes the short end of the stick is the sharpest. Sometimes the only road to take is the darkest. Sometimes all you gotta say is 'Daddy, make it go away.' Sometimes the only way out is as a carcass." After talking to daddy, you find it's in your best interest to stay away from him and his workers. You go back to court and the police as

There's a picture on the wall of Kanye West.

"Freaking Out," the psychedelic pop-rock song by The Wrecks, gets pretty weird… "In the bathroom, on my back, there's a picture on the wall of Kanye West. He's staring at me; he's staring at me. I'm freaking out; I'm freaking out." …as weird as an IPA labeled with a tiger shooting rainbow-lasers out of his eyes. Elysian's Dayglow IPA pairs perfectly with the odd sounds The Wrecks bring us in this new single. "I'm on the lawn. It's almost 3:00. I look around; I look at her; she looks at me. She's suspicious; she's suspicious. I'm freaking out; I'm freaking out." The lyrics and the sounds of the keyboard will automatically have you thinking, "this is weird." And even more so if you listen to the guitar rift in the first second as you stare at your newly found Dayglow bottle. But then you take a sip. It's crisp, a little juicy, and oh my—is that pineapple? Yes, it is! Now your on to the cho

Dance for me.

"Dance Monkey" by Tones and I on their only release so far, The Kids Are Coming, is truly unique. Enjoy this fresh new song with the fresh and fun Belgian-style tripel, Golden Monkey, by Victory Brewing Company, based in Downingtown, PA. "Dance for me, dance for me, dance for me." There's that one person at the bar you want to have an exhilarating experience with; that could be a dance. That's what this song is all about. You know your paths will separate at some point but you should enjoy the moment while it's right in front of you. "I've never seen anybody do the things you do before. They say move for me, move for me, move for me and when you're done I'll make you do it all again." Belgian tripels are not so different. Savior the moment. These beers are hard to come by at a lively bar but they are a great choice. They're strong so it'll last you awhile before having to wait in line at the bar again but they are also
