Abstract Releases Folk Punk Single: Up Yet!
We all know the story. Punk rocker gets old, puts down electric guitar and picks up acoustic to become a folk punk troubadour: Tim Barry, Chuck Ragan, Tony Sly, Dave Hause, Frank Turner, etc., but this may be the first time I’ve known of a hip-hop artist putting down his beats and changing up spitting out dope ass flow to playing acoustic guitar while singing pop punk melodies. And if all hip hop artists can write folk punk songs like this dude, then I’m all the fuck for it.
Lyrically its very melancholy, and one might call it emo, but I’d say its a less angry or forceful Off with Their Heads in that it’s emotionally honest and earnest like OWTH, but its delivered more akin to Tony Sly or Dave Hause.
I’ve had to move on from this song to his hip-hop, and I’m a fan of that shit too. It’d be dope to see this dude tour with Off With Their Heads when they do their acoustic tours.
