The Wind Ups Announce Happy Like This
Likely going to make folks irate here, but if you listen to the new tune from The Wind Ups, you get the feeling that the song’s got some lineage with The Ramones. For me, its not just the unabashed banging from start to finish, though I love that being in there. There’s just a bunch of playful stuff they’re including, like simplistic lyrics that play upon single syllables to deliver hooks; they’ve also got handclaps, ramping up the childlike joy of early punk vibes. This song will be on the group’s Happy Like This LP, which drops next week via Mt. St. Mtn.
