#14. Off-Leash - Welcome Mat
Title: Welcome Mat
Artist: Off-Leash
Album: Welcome Mat single
I first came across Off-Leash when they were just teenagers, performing under the moniker "Detention" opening up for my friends in Grumpy Plum. In the 4 years since that meeting, the band has matured, gotten edgier and added a lot of grit to their skate-punk sound, as well as adding a heavy level of polish to their recordings. "Welcome Mat" showcases thunderous riffs along with lyrics that very clearly sing about a bad breakup and how the singer is looking to move on from what sounds like an awful relationship. It's a classic break-up/middle finger song that is fun to headbang along with while screaming the lyrics "Everyone but you!"
Favorite line: "Somehow it's only been a month, but I think I'm finally growing up. My welcome mat is still an open invite to everyone but you"
