Go Panic!

Here it is.

I almost didn't pick this song. I heard it and thought I recognized it; maybe from MTV, maybe from the radio. Turns out I just heard it online, although apparently its big in Germany.

To start, I'd like to take issue with the band's name: Go Panic!. The name is a pain in the ass. Firstly, the word "Panic" does not include an exclamation mark. Sure, Panic! at the Disco did it, but that doesn't make it cool. Secondly, including puncuation at the end of a name is a pain in the ass for anybody trying to include it into a sentence. If it ends a sentence do you add a period as well? And what if it ends a question?

"How stupid of a name is Go Panic!?"

See? It makes me look angry! And I really don't want to have to use quotation marks.

Anyway, so back to the music. It's indie rock (At this point I would like to point out how almost nobody on GarageBand has a label, making them all indie, weakening using indie as a genre) and its pretty good. Think light-punk/pop/rock.

Very strong guitar lines; definately not the same ones you hear everyday. The vocals are a bit straining, but thats to be expected in the genre. It's not like punk bands care if their singers can sing.

If you like Nirvana, you'll like A Part of Me. It's a lot like Smells Like Teen Spirit, only with brighter vocals. Similar guitar and drums, and even the vocals share a identifyable style just before the final refrain.

I'll give this band two exclamation marks, a comma, and an elipsis out of a total of seven.

As a side note, I'd like to mention Greg Camilleri. His music's not CC, but its good; especially All the Days Blur.
