Wake up, write about celebrities, eat oatmeal, listen to Goddamnit’s How To Take The Burn and then take a nap. That’s my life as of this morning and now that the cat nap’s out of the way I’m ready to dish about a record that reminds me of what Warped Tour was built on – until my generation came in, and later bands with more vampires than Twilight. Anyways, Goddamnit’s serving up good old fashioned punk rock and it’s about time we all dig in.
I’m not as cool as a Jawbreaker fan, so songs like “Hear About It” and the title track, “How to Take the Burn” weren’t for me. They were more tailored for those who can fully appreciate the punk. I leaned more towards the softer ones like “It’s Not Astronomy” and “With Whiskey.” I also appreciated in the bounce in “Citywide.” Those few were my go-to songs, but I think the majority tuning into to Goddamnit will definitely run to the first two mentioned as well as “We Play Craps” and “New Perfumes.” It’s cool, I’m used to being in the minority.
After this I’ll try really hard not to reward myself with another trip to the couch; blog life. I’ll post this about and let you know that if you’re into bands like Small Brown Bike and Quicksand then you’ll definitely dig what Goddamnit has going on with their new album. You can check out How To Take The Burn, out now on Creep Records.
