As u can see from this irreverent photoshoot, they are chill bros whose lives are so zany it’s basically like American Pie but in real lief
If you spend as much time looking for new easycore bands as I do, you’re no stranger to disappointment. For every sweet ez band you add to your ‘Songs to listen to when it starts to get warm out and you just wanna drive past the local community college and look at girls in yoga pants’ playlist, there’s 10 more disappointing bands who fall into one of the genre’s common pitfalls: gay friendzonecore lyrics, uptight srsness/tr00ness, or shitty production. With the genre on its last legs, I thought I’d found them all until now: meet KNOCKOUT KID!
Dat uplifting, major key intro riff. Dem bittersweet, super-earnest lyrics about striving to be a better person. Dat doodles-on-your-textbook cover art in neon colors. NOW THAT’S WHAT I CALL EASYCORE
It’s true that lyrics like “Don’t wanna text you girl, but will you answer my call?” are definitely pleaserespondcore, but the sick riffment and awesome production are enough for me to look the other way– “Hey you kids, quit asking girls to text you back! I’m gonna pretend I didn’t hear that, but don’t let me catch you doing it again, ok? Man up!!”
Don’t know anything about these guys, but it looks like they’re still around, and they’re fucking sweet so holler at them on Facebook and tell them SYWH sent you! Get them to tour with DECEIVED IN NUMBERS.
This is legitimately the best thing I’ve heard all year
You have made my day Sarge, thank you
Ohhhhh this is good.
Did not see that breakdown at forty seconds in coming at all. Well played sirs.
It wouldn’t be music without it!
Literally!
SRS….. Sargent D Delivers AGAIN!!!
what other easycore bands have the metally guitars like this and CNCC? i can’t get into a ADTR, FYS etc..
I need this album!
dat melody in the first song starting at 2:25, I propane’d
Awesome! Been on an easycore kick lately and this sounds tight.
This band deserves moar comments. Also I made a sad thinking about how more ppl comment on the alpha/tumblrwhatever posts nowadays. This is pretty much perfect easycore for me, the vocals aren’t quite fggty but the lyrics still make you go ‘oof, at least that’s not me singing that’.
Miss u old skool just about the music sywh
Yeah, only 12 responses? DEFEND EASYCORE
God bless you sir. You don’t see many people who can appreciate the beauty of Donald Tardy’s drumming and the enjoyable gayness of this shit. Two new songs on repeat for me. Keep it coming. Ta lad x
