Daily electricity to load your batteries

Band: JESUS THE DINOSAUR (great name)
Who: Folk-rock indies from Boston, MA.
Track: SWEET NOTHING
Piece from their upcoming debut LP, titled
‘Nothing To The Branches’, out on May 15th.
Press info: “‘Sweet Nothing‘ showcases the band’s ease in relaying storytelling
emotions through music, conveying a confessional tone that tumbles and turns
like revealed entries from a diary. We hope you dig it as much as we do.”
Tommy Ng (vocals, acoustic guitar): “For me personally, I’m describing what it feels
like to be in a social setting while being maxed out on my social meter. I have a big people-pleasing problem, so I’ll keep pushing through social interactions even when I have nothing left to give, so what comes out of my mouth at that point is usually just that: filler, forced smiles, canned responses, bullshit. Just enough to pass as pleasing and agreeable to everyone.”
TUTV: Sweet Nothing moves and grooves, rattles and rocks, all at the same time.
It’s one of those thrilling tunes that open your ears on the spot. Think avid folk
celebs Mumford & Sons with a punky zing.
The deliriously rhythmic progression, sharp-edged vocals, evolving beat, and
feverish chorus cause a fiery-flavoured stomper. Very tasteful. Hail Jesus!
“All the things we say not to say anything
It’s not all bad, the sweet nothings
But my weak teeth are rotting
and I can’t stop pulling this candy rope from out of my throat
This party trick was good the first time but now I’m choking”
