7.Vigil and Thieves-Vicious Ears
I'm just going to say that these have to be some of the nicest fucking people I've gotten the pleasure of meeting and hanging out with and that I legitimately hope that the best is to come to these guy's sooner than later because they deserve it.
OK now that I've said that it's time to talk about how fucking bad ass this song is, Vicious Ears is a very kind of punk tinged alternative rock tune that starts out with some very jumpy guitar work and is followed by Sarah Storm singing with a voice that's equal parts playful and dynamic in a lot of ways especially the chorus and it's long sustained notes and the delivery of the line, “This may be more,” which just crawls it's way deep into your mind and perfectly balances along with some verses that have a bit of a staccato feel to them and lyrics like, “Monsters with guns and a limited one on these city streets, Monsters in Armani suits who say they know what's best for you,” you get a song that's very VERY catchy and easy to sing along with but is also hiding more meaningful lyrics than your average radio fair and manages to not be up it's own ass in a lot of ways.
These well delivered lines and it's dreamy guitar work along with all the individual members talents as musicians showcase how to make a song that blends just enough pop sensibilities with all the grit of alternative rock to form a very simple dancey post punk tune that I just fucking love and have yet to have a disappointing time when seeing them perform it live.
