We’re really just all cashing in at this point, right?


It’s 2021 as I write this. 

You know who has a new single? Bowling for Soup. It’s terrific. “Getting Old Sucks (But Everybody’s Doin’ It)

And there are other Emo/Pop Punk revival bands out there. Creeper. Famous Last Words. 

I am making a playlist of Pop Punk bands. They are terrific.

My point?

It’s been ~17 years since that sound really exploded in 2004. 

In 1981, 26 full years had passed since Rockabilly was an explosive sound. But it was really cresting on a nostalgia wave that began in the mid-70s with Grease. And it limped along until Dave Edmunds and Brian Setzer brought it back. Again. 

Everything comes back. 


I’m rambling now. 


Here’s a good set of upright bass slappin’, almost out of tune Les Pauls and snare drums.
