Vaguely screamy , ostensibly - semi-“hardcore”-but - mostly - without - the-“hard”-part pop punk is n’t typically the foot you contribute with if you need somebody to prise and look up to your musical discernment . But eff it , it ’s Saturday dark and let ’s have some FUN .
Four Year Strong is I guess likely a “ tonic punk / melodic hardcore ” band that mold around 2001 , and “ Beatdown in the Key of Happy ” is one of the many eccentrically ( also : amazingly / divertingly ) named jams of their unveiling record album Rise or go bad Trying . That is all beside the point though and what count is that this song is fun as hell .
That excessive gallop strumming tap you as a little cheesy ? You are thinking too heavily . The partitioning strike you as laughably bro - centre ? Still thinking too hard . Ca n’t quite suffer that “ ohhh ” growl ? I suppose you have it away the problem by now .
There ’s a highschooler part of me that still loves this song — that whole record album — to death , and a vaguely more judgmental grownup - ish part that ’s ashamed for ever love something so beardedly - hipster and cockamamie so genuinely .
But tonight , I ’m hanging out with first guy . I hope you ’ll join me ; I recall I might fuck a dude who can rack up us a 12 pack of Keystone Light . [ Spotify , Amazon , iTunes ]
