XUP-SUP – Lonely Night
The hugely bouncy ‘Lonely Night’ follows the standard verse/chorus/verse/chorus/bridge/chorus structure that cannot fail in the pop/punk genre. This particular stomper tells the story of trying to occupy your Friday/Saturday nights without your significant other. The verse features the hugely popular na, na, na, na, nas made popular from bands like Blink 182, giving it a sing a long feature for the crowd to shout back. The lyrics are clever and witty, especially in the chorus when the song writing must have got a bit blank so they sing ‘Couldn’t think of a good third line, I search for you till the end of time’. Instead of coming across as lazy this adds a bit of humour to the whole thing.
Musically the band sound extremely tight with a great thumping drum beat and creative rolls hammering throughout. The bridge goes all instrumental with a good bass line, building us up to the final chorus.
The chorus itself is a sing along affair with great back up harmonies that sounds great but sometimes gets a little lost behind the instruments.
The song reminds me of old school Blink 182 or MXPX especially with the vocal style which is certainly not a bad thing.
‘Lonely Night’ is a great sing-a-long number made possible by great musicians. Now I wonder if they have thought of that third line yet. 🙂
