Kasabian guitarist, Serge
Pizzorno, wrote and produced For Crying Out Loud.
Time To Change, a mental
health organization in England, weren’t thrilled with Kasabian’s choice of lyrics
saying they had used a “sad and tired” stereotype.
“Jibber, jabber, at the bargain booze,
And reciting Charles Bukowski, I got
nothing to lose”
Shortstraw are a popular indie rock band from Johannesburg, South Africa. They have been making music since 2007 and have made three albums. Shortstraw sound like Good Charlotte, New Politics and Al Bairre. They are influenced by Foals, Paul Simon and Taking Back Sunday. Keep It In The Family (Nov'16) is the third single from the mini-album Those Meddling Kids (March'17). Keep It In The Family is mosh-pit filling, pop punk, with a stone to throw at absent fathers.
“Go
tell your father in Santiago,
I got his daughter tied to my tree”
I got his daughter tied to my tree”
