#14. Soft Kill - Joy is a Crime
Title: Joy is a Crime
Artist: Soft Kill
Album: Escape Forever
This is one of those entries where I ask myself "where did I even find this band?" I don't really have a good answer for that. Our local alternative station officially signed off back in April (RIP CD101/102.5/92.9/WWCD) and so I was forced to widen my search for good and upcoming indie/alternative rock. Spotify is obviously a great tool but their playlists tend to highlight dull bands who are popular in the UK (that never make it overseas), bands who throw sponsorship money, or whatever the new fake alternative act is. "Alternative" is just a marketing ploy these days and it becomes exhausting when the genre is inundated with artists who seem to be half-assing everything they do just to use it.
ANYWAYS what I'm trying to say is that I really enjoy this song - it's a lot of fun to sing along to, even if I found the album rather dull. But it's a great song, in spite of my soapbox rant back there... hah. Enjoy!
Favorite line: "To feel the joy of life, it's not a thing that stays - I feel the rush and the rush and the rush then it fades away"
