Correct, kids! I’m going to talk about music again.
The Used, to me, have always come off as much stronger than their contemporaries in the pop-punk sorta alternative rock-y field, if only for a few reasons. One, their singer isn’t whiny or annoying in the slightest; two, they can actually write a dang good hook, and three, sometimes they do something that’s musically (gasp, shock, awe) adventurous.
They released an EP recently on iTunes, “Shallow Believer”, and this song.
“Dark Days”.
It’s fantastic. I’ve had it on repeat for a while.
(Once the background vocals kick in on chorus 2, you’ll be sayin’ “awwwww heck yes” unless you don’t talk like that.)
