WHY NOBODY LISTENS TO PUNK MUSIC ANYMORE

I'd be willing to be a lot of money that this person is a NOFX fan. These were the people yelling at you to "stay the fuck home" during "two weeks to slow the spread." These are the people who reported you on social media during Joe Biden and Mark Zuckerberg's censorship of social media, and had you banned from groups you used to enjoy. These are the people who moderate the reddit subs you used to enjoy participating in until you were banned for having an opinion they disagreed with. These are the people getting paid to stand out in the street on behalf of George Soros to give a false appearance of rebellion in our country. These are the people calling you racist. These are the people cheering the assassination of Charlie Kirk, and who would've been cheering the assassination of Donald Trump, if he didn't just happen to turn his head at the right moment. Is it starting to make sense now? The modern Democratic party has been co-opted by foreign intere...

ALBUM REVIEW: THE DEBUT by JASON FURLONG

 

Album: The Debut EP

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.

"Prisoner of Your Love"
