New Jamz: Hurry! Lets Go and Scene Valentines/Romance

I am pleased to introduce the newest contributor to SYWH, Eyelicker-- you may know him from his other blog, Hyperviolence and comments on this site. Like YeahYouKnowIt, he's about 10 years younger than me and ShawnYouWillHate, but I'd like to think that we share a common post-ironic appreciation of contemporary youth culture. Bro, you're one of my top internet bros, bro! Welcome aboard and we hope to see many more posts from you! - Sgt D

It's no secret to the world that scene/crunk/anyone who has ever used autotune bros are fuckin' pro with the girlies. In fact, while the majority of us scene kids would have you believe that we're ghetto as fuq playas till death, and are the kind of bad news that most chicks lap up, we're also totally down for some legit romance every once in a while, when not smashing up the town in our sweet osiris high tops (not actually mine, cos mine're some limited edition shit that'r too cool for the internet) and dot dot curve :) t's.

Enter Hurry! Let's Go, crunkcore romantics (in the old world sense of the word) and regular contributers to my "xgenuinexscenexfeelingsx" playlists, whenever I wax sentimental with a chick. In the world of internet crunkcore acts, they are like the Michael Cera, to DDC's parallel of Larry Clark's 1995 film "Kids". Seriously, these kids are so clean cut and sincere I almost feel like they're gonna get bullied when I playlist them with BC13 and Hollywood Undead. Fuck, even Breathe Carolina look like scummy creepverts next to these!

Yes Stacy! I would love to meet your parents!

Their jamz are pretty much universally about love (unrequited or ace), to a sometimes pretty sickening degree. They tread very close to the line of "this is so fucking soppy I can't even listen to it ironically", with about half of their stuff going over it and being rendered unlistenable. That in mind, the other half is actually pretty decent, especially for putting on in the background when you're tryna convince a chick what a genuine legit guy you are. Just time it right so you don't look like a massive sap.

This one is a pretty cool collab with the equally unthreatening and German XOXO

I kind of feel like Hurry! Let's Go are probably the logical conclusion of the "non theatening dudes singing about feelin's" aesthetic. This is probably more of a detriment to their success than anything, as it just makes them come across as really fuckin' dull people, instead of at least pretending that they're off the wall crazy people like every other band does. Not that anyone actually believes that DDC, BC13, HU, BOTDF, T Mills and anyone else are actually one iota "srs buisness", but singing like they are is enough to make them pretty much like crack for most chicks. Dudes who are essentially harmless with enough of a veneer of badassery to indulge most girl's natural affliction of the wild without being any kind real risk (hence how most chicks are completely fucking clueless about rap music (Kanye west dosn't count)). Still I guess Hurry! Let's Go are prolly at least filling a gap in the market, and are sometimes pretty perfect to hit that spot. Props! Also, it's probably worth a mension that they are proud owners of the accolade of being the only band who I have actually bought an mp3 album of online (but this was only because I couldn't find a working rapidshare, and it was the beginning of the term so I was yet to squander all my cash).

You arn't fooling anyone, especially with that Akercrombie shirt, the "scarlet letter" of the middle classes.

Anyways, further on the topic of genuine scene love, this Valentines day (sunday b4 yesturday) taught me that scene love is the fuckin' shit! After the past few years with boring middle class mainstream no fun club chicks who just don't get it and equate having fun, piercings, tats, and wearing sick ass scene threads with being immature/stupid/a looser (not that I'm not immature, but you're doing a course in TV production honey, while I'm waxing scientific at one of the best Universitys in England), having now recently found a down-ass scene chick to allign personal brands/band merch/crunkcore playlists with is gonna be fucking sweet.
Anyways, hope you had a pro V-tines day too, and didn't let the no fun club's cynicism ruin it for you. I made a playlist with some help from my scenie that I was gonna post to my other blog, Hyperviolence, but ended up pulling a cba (via having just returned from Germany), anyway, here it is, as my introductory gift to the SYWH readership; Eyelicker's officially scene girl approved playlist for those intimate moments with that special scene chick in your life. You may hate this shit, in fact you probably do, but I would advise having it handy. Much like a fire extinguisher, you may never need it, but if the unthinkable happens and you do get Becky Brutality or whoever back to your crib, you don't wana be caught without some legit crunkcore romance jamz. You'll get extra bonus points too if she had you down as some square who only like "srs music" from the surprise factor!

(if you work for a label, let me know and I'll take down anything you own, but you should think of this as promotion not piracy-- don't rain on the parade!)

Update - Hurry! Lets Go have requested I take down their jamz, so the download now omits their tracks. Fair play to them, go buy the download EP like I did!
