      @VeritableSmorgasbord Před 5 lety +4

      Is that true @xashadellic? I never thought about it. I mean, "hard" implies something you have to develop, or something you have to be conscious of or you'll fuck it up. It seems like anyone could get a voice crack, say if they don't warm up...People like Brody and The Coathangers' drummer, that's just their voice, whether by circumstance or by cigarettes. I think I'll disagree with you here...
      ...as well as on the topic of The Distillers. Can't stand em. Blech >:(

    You know what I know son don't lie, you know what I know
    You know what I know son don’t hide all your sinners, flaunt 'em like winner, like a creep
    Fine let's leave it outside. I'd sure hate to keep you up all night. If you were looking for an opposable wife, pick me, I'm sweet.
    Fine? You know I'm not fine. So why'd ya do it again this time? If you wanna wanna see a dog's bad bite pick me I'm free and they're cheap
    They're always in the gutter when the crutches fall
    They're not your mother's call
    They're always in the gutter with crutches fall, hangin' round
    It’s kinda sick but I like to watch the big men losing clout, It’s kinda sick but I’d like to finally scream about something else.
    Fine. I'll be the good guy, make haste to keep you satisfied and when you're looking for a son of a bitch to bite pick me, I'm sweet.
    Fine? You know I'm not fine. So why'd ya do it again this time? If you were looking for a loud bad night, pick me, I don't leave
    Fine. Let's keep it outside, just leave me in the dark tonight.
    They're cheap, but I'm free

      Ikr. I was a little taken back by how young they are......but then I instantly felt relief cuz this just gave me hope that the future isn't filled with a bunch of Lilly white daisey madens oblivious to what good music sounds like. Of course my generation saw the rise of the "boy band," and charted a song called " mmm bop" at number 1 for way longer than I would care to admit. Regardless, these kids shred and it fills my heart with joy. I can't stop listening! More indeed!

    @SoundofBelch Před 5 lety +92

    We at Sound of Belch once again commend the enormous efforts that Kelli, Peyton and Kurtis have put together to release yet another video made with heart and dedication. Personally, They're Cheap is one of our favorite songs included in The Make It All Show, which is also one of our absolute favorite albums from Skating Polly AND from the year of 2018! The lyrical content together with the raw emotion of the guitars and the externalization of all these forces through the voice and screams of Kelli is something absolutely climatic, like the last generation of true rock n' rollers managed to pull off. The funny thing is that Skating Polly can emulate this genuine Rock feeling while appealing to a new generation that is not so use to such rebellious sounds. Thank you so much, to the band and to those who keep supporting these amazing young artists!
