TAG: NEW BRUNSWICK

This sort of sad bastard music was something i was pretty into a few years ago, but that love has faded. I still like it but I don’t really actively seek it out (the last 10+ posts are good evidence of that).

I saw PJ last night, and this song just grabbed me. The line “my hands are well acquainted with my mouth” has been stuck in my head all day.

There are two released versions of this song. The “original” is from an album called “You Didn’t Know I was Alphabetical.” Its the more full band alt-country (his words) version. The second version (what I posted) is from an album called “22, April: Vienna, Austria.” This one is how the song sounds when he tours, just him and a guitar. 

Version 1 is alright, but version 2 crushes it. 

Listen to the entire album here.

Part pop-punk, part 90s shouty emo.

Check out their Bandcamp page.

I love this band and the album this song is on (Brush Your Teeth, Again), but for some reason I can’t quite put my finger on, I'm embarrassed of that. 

I’m dumb.

Go download the album from the band’s Bandcamp page, its name your own price. 

All posts in the month of August will be covers.

Originally Kelly Clarkson

A second Kelly Clarkson cover? I didn’t see that coming.

I like this song, but it's not as good as the band’s cover of “Once Upon A Time” by Robert Bradley’s Blackwater Surprise. But I already posted that in February, so here we are, with the silver medal winner.

Second place or not, this is still a great cover that sounds and feels so much different than the original.
