#12. Alright Years - Something I Can Dance To
Alright Years is a great that came together early this year with former Philmont and current Disciple guitarist Josiah Prince teaming up with LOYALS singer Dane Allen. The project definitely has its own pop-punky feel to it - much more Capital Lights or New Found Glory than either of the projects that the duo are currently in. Their album Show Me Something has an upbeat, summer tinged vibe that feels like an updated version of the high school bands that all of the preppy kids loved. It's not a bad thing at all. Other songs I enjoyed were "Say Yeah" and "Long Lost Words". The band is somewhat of an enigma, with little to no social media presence, and outside of the album dropping and a few interviews, there isn't much else you can find on them.
"Something I Can Dance To" is dripping with nostalgia and fun emotions, straight from the get go with its happy little guitar opening. The song is about finding music that brings those happy emotions from the past back to you. The entire song is upbeat and feels like it should be playing at the beach or a club somewhere. It's just a track that embodies happiness and escaping the madness of everything around you. Unfortunately, I can't give you a ton more on the band as both members seem to be busy in their respective projects, and honestly haven't given much else away about this group. In spite of that, the song has over 10k streams on Spotify just the same.
Favorite Line: "So grab your iPod from 2007, set it to shuffle, baby take me to heaven!"
