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 chorus…
"I feel fine…the best I've felt in quite awhile. I feel fine. I've waited for this all my life. Save my soul; I swear I may never die. I feel fine.  I'm freaking out and I feel fine."
…and you realize everything is fine. Yes, you're freaking out but it's not you. It's just that this beer is bomb and this song turns into something a little more recognizable. In fact, if you like Cage The Elephant or Grouplove, there is no doubt you'll dig "Freaking Out." It's got that same sort-of garage sound that the others bands do during the chorus.

But as soon as the chorus is over, it gets weird again and if you listen closely, you find out why exactly the lead singer is freaking out. But as far as this post goes…you're just freaking out because of how great this IPA really is…and your feeling fine.
"I'm feeling fine. I found a flower, it's in my shoe, and it is mine. Things are fine now."
Congrats to the band on a new record deal!

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...

I danced with the devil and I've got to say he's not so tough.

This blog focuses mostly on new songs less than a year old but an exception is being made for "Live from Hell" by Glowbug on the album Fantasma Del Tropico. It's an obscure alt-rock song with sounds of steel drums giving it that Caribbean island vibe. But that's not it. This song features Eddie Hermida, the screamo vocalist of the deathcore metal band, Suicide Silence. This is the first screamo song to be listed on this blog. "To all the heathens, demons...I have got a feeling we'd get along, so shout GIVE ME YOUR WORST...LOVE 'TIL IT HURTS!" This could very well be one of the softest screamo songs you've heard but it just works; it's catchy. The lyrics are pretty dark considering the island-enthused sounds too. "I DANCED WITH THE DEVIL AND I'VE GOT TO SAY he's not so tough." Of course a Caribbean-inspired song needs to be paired with a Caribbean-inspired beer. There may not be any year-round nationally-available beers to co...
