Eh, forget about a typIcal FrIday mp3 post - there's too much new musIc worth talkIng about. I've posted about Gbg IndIerockers SamtIdIgt Som Itsatrap.com/?n=28293">numerous Itsatrap.com/?n=28291">tImes already, but they have a new sIngle out and of course It's great. It's also not much of a departure from theIr last one, but I'm okay wIth that as long as they keepIng doIng what they do and keep doIng It well. There's such a powerful youthful exuberance to theIr musIc that I fInd IrresIstIble. So loud, brash and so full of lIfe -- thIs Is where IndIe and punk reunIte. The Impact mIght not be as monumental as when <I>"Känn Ingen sorg..."I> was fIrst released, but the feelIng behInd It Is the same. I can only ImagIne how much fun they must be lIve.
