Hmmmmm vry srs
Do you wonna hear what it sounds like when someone does a sik mashup of Fall Out Boy and Less Than Jake? Have you ever wondered what watered down easycore with ska sounds like in terms of its unfathomable levels of fun? Let me start by introducing Kids Can’t Fly!

I first heard this stuff from a mate, and listened to this track I think 1000 times before I even considered moving on. It’s just catchy as shit, good vocals, good use of brass in my opinion. APPROVED

This is IMO both their best single and their best song. A strong FOB vibe with a bit of FYS in there. And that random quick breakdown w/ gang vocal moment kind of works. There is something awesome about a song that to me has similar content to ‘The Bitch Song’ by Bowling for Soup.

Their latest single, not too shabby if you ask me, and the crowds look pretty damn happy. The song is all about literally beeng urslf and not deviate for any reason. (via militant chill bros)
Hello and welcome to 2007, FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE
I feel like after sharing such a gem you too can see the love I hold for these guys. I have a feeling both them and Me Vs Hero could be the British representatives in easycore. The problem fans face is that they’ve existed for 6 years and yet they have no album out yet. I mean, How can a band like this stay unsigned for so long? Are they destined to have good jams, Decent eps but no explored potential? Drop the guys a leik on their Fac-e-book and tell them SYWH knows ur out there. Tell me wat you thank in the down.
You should check out a band called Save the Swim Team, they do something similar in that it’s like pop-punkish parts with all these ska things too, and breakdowns just for good measure
sounds a lot like We Are the Union with weird accents.
i had the exact same thought when i heard the horns on the first video.
third-ed. Especially “I”m Like John Cusack”, that song has an A+ breakdown.
I actually have never listened to We Are The Union so now I’ve got some new jamz to look at now. Even SYWH teaches you something new…
This is pretty sweet. Maybe you just avoided linking embarrassing skankin’ pickle reggaeton jams, but if they’re really just an easycore band + horns, this is pretty awesome. They avoid all the embarrassing “this is the part where we go clean channel on our guitars and play really fast skank riffs” with horns blaring. The horns just fill in some nice melodies over easy crunch guitars.
It’s remarkable the horn players avoided ruining the breakdown in the first song. How long do you think that negotiation went in band practice? “But you guys aren’t singing!! We really want to play!!” “No it’s a breakdown, shut up.”
I actually wish that there had been some horns on the breakdown, if anything only on the second half of it.
a boy at my uni shot one of their music videos i think….
Only the Southampton music scene is real.
mirin the way this post is so swole it doesn’t even fit in the layout of the page
if a picture is not fully square it goes all dolan and fuks u p evrythan.
cant listen till they remplace horns with synth
Maybe horns are the new synth?
This usually wouldn’t be my type of jam at all, but goddamn, She Called Shotgun is catchy as all fuck. Can’t stop listening hhhhhhhnnnnnnnggggggg.
This reminds me of Four Year Strong but with horns instead of a synth. High school me is fucking stoked.
They get that FYS but with horns tag a bit. I think these guys deserve to break out more than others.
brb having fun overdose
This is perfect since I’ve finally gotten tired of We Are The Union. I back She Called Shotgun super hard
So fucking good. Thx 4 the new jamz, bro!
Np. Check out the eps where they actually do skapunk/easycore style. Basically all the stuff that’s on their spotify page + Strength in Numbers which is on Grooveshark and bandcamp. If you wonna hear their 2nd ep, a more straight up 00s ska punk album go on GS too. Also ANOTHER gem to check out is Heartstrong off their single.
Posts like this are why i <3 SYWH.
post sucks and ruins the home page. u do not have the ability
Why are all you men so mean, I bet your a misogynist beta-faggot.
u just jelly cos the post is buffed
Learn to have a little fun bro!
cool stuff reminds me off a way less gay version of streetlight manifesto
do not tary britishmen! deliver them unti jams!
Streetlight Manifesto are way too tr00 lyrically and it’s kinda embarrassing but damn if they don’t make some of the best use of brass in that genre. The drums are p sweet too.
These guys are sweet but you’ve pretty much nailed the UK/Ireland problem for bands like this, usually end up putting out a few great EPs, never get signed, get burned out.. :(
Heard the horns on “she called shotgun” and was like there is no way and then listened to it 15 times
Nthing how awesome “She Called Shotgun” is. Almost literally the only song I’ve listened to since I checked it out a couple of days ago.
