Scooped Up! Releases New Single: “Shoelace”!
These cats have been bringing their version of mid to late 90’s pop punk to the masses since 2016, and while I hadn’t heard of them until this review, I immediately connected with their new song “Shoelace” which sounds like it could have come right of of Pokinatcha by MxPx!
Lyrically you’re gonna get what you’d expect i.e. a song about a lack of self-confidence and feeling like the world is against you and that actions of the past are just memories of regrets you’d rather forget a la the line “"There's no buying back all the time you spent" in other words a dope ass song about angst and alienation that any good self-described punk can enjoy.
While not breaking new ground, the song is instantly catchy and has just the right amount of fast punk mixed with its pop to make it one I’d enjoy skateboarding to or jamming to in my car with the windows down.
The video with its focus on the classic Chuck Taylor’s All-Stars was quiet fun to watch too.
