WHY WE DON'T POST ABOUT MUSIC ANYMORE | IT'S PROBABLY BECAUSE YOU SUCK

1. We took down the live music stream because it was a waste of money. If someone wants to donate $1,000+ per year to keep it operating just for 2 listeners on average, feel free to reach out. 2. Your music mostly fucking sucks ass. If your music actually made it on to our live stream, I'm not talking about you. But 95% of the music sent to us is complete garbage, especially the crap promoters typically send us. If your promoter is sending your death metal music to Pop Punk Radio, you need to hire a better promoter.  3. My views have gone up exponentially ever since I started making strongly worded posts. So you're either a complete fucking retard who focuses their own valuable time and energy on rage-bait, or you are someone who has been personally affected by the things that I talk about, and enjoy seeing someone else with a large platform bringing such things to people's attention. 4. I'm busy working on other things unrelated to this website. Things that do much mor...

ALBUM REVIEW: THE DEBUT by JASON FURLONG

 

Album: The Debut EP

Artist: Jason Furlong

Release Date: April 3, 2021

Social Media: YouTube / Spotify / Instagram / Facebook

For Fans Of: Machine Gun Kelly, Kid Vision, Dacian Miron

Review: "Welcome to my life, a place that I don't even like" sings Jason Furlong to open his 2021 EP titled simply The Debut. Themes of depression and angst fill the album's six tracks, nearly all of which are worthy of being released as their own single. MGK better take notice, because Jason Furlong is ready to give the rapper-turned-pop-punk some good company.

"Prisoner of Your Love" is a song that questions one's involvement in a toxic relationship while asking the age old question "is it me, or is it you?" As usual, the answer isn't about just one person. "All we want is to be free, but we're both scared to see the end of us."

"How can I love you if I don't love myself?" asks Jason on "Run Away." Despite the self-reflective emotion of the lyrics, the songs actually have an upbeat and optimistic quality and are relatable without coming across as whiny. "I'm not ready to settle down, I'm just trying to find myself right now." This isn't your Uncle's early 2000's era emo, this music is self-aware. "Maybe you'd be better off just saying farewell."

Jason Furlong is an artist who wears his heart on his sleeve and his music has incredible potential "bottled up inside" just waiting to break out. The beats are well produced, the melodies and rhymes are catchy. My only complaint is that his lyrics can be a bit too upfront at times and could benefit from the use of more metaphor.

In my humble opinion, Jason Furlong is already walking the right path to a notable music career. He's at the large wooden door with a ring full of a thousand keys in his hands. All he has to do is find one that takes his songwriting to another level. I think that he can do it.

Rating: 7.5 / 10 - Jason Furlong is a talented songwriter who is poised to make big noise in the scene.
