Ummm, where was I?
Oh yeah, 5.
In 5th place:
I think you all know it takes a lot to get me into really long songs. I need key changes, and new directions throughout.
This doesn’t have that, yet it grew on me with each subsequent listen.
Good job, solid middle of the pack.
Like that Stars song quite a bit.
Lets end the Pauwl zone with a really solid example of a genre banger
Yeah alright, I can get my fuck on with that. Really solid early 2000’s pop-punk as noticed by our submitter:
“The pop-punk scene in Canada was pretty solid in the early 2000s. Here’s the best of the bunch. Lou"d from the beginning with a singable chorus.”
Pretty much nails my thoughts exactly. This gets summitted to me in 2005, its gonna top the walrus, but here its a solid top of the Pauwl zone.
Short break before the podium
This is mine. Was debating whether to joker this or Skydiver. Got 4th in both, so didn’t matter.
Yeah this is where I would have put my money, much like you probably knew what my submission was for your category.
How about some really solid punk to kick off the podium?
In third:
“FUCK YOU RUDY!”
Would love to see some claims before I reveal the final two. They were VERY close.
Btw, well done everybody on dropping stuff I’ve almost never heard, up to and including the bands in question.
Lol, EB in 4th gives six points and moves him ahead of me by a point. Sky with 3 puts him temporarily in 1st place.
And Suz still alive in the top 5 gives him an outside shot at moving ahead of me as well.
Alright fuck it, there’s the play by play update, lets go to the big board for the final two slots
Meh. It’s fun, but surprised I lost to it,
In 2nd place
Yeah, this does a whole lot right. It starts quite slow but it was so endlessly chill and the vocals are great. Congrats second Destroyer submitter, I really liked this.
This is mine. I listen to this song all the time.
Which just leaves our Champeen, who seemed to hit it out of the park from my first listen and never let go.
Man, this is a fun song. just constantly bopping in the verses, and then the chorus comes in with a Pow, and a “Hey!” and man i just had a lot of fun with this. Well done.
You’ve never heard this before?
And with that, Pauwl puts himself into a huge lead, unless Yuv takes first, with the joker, he would be the winner.
I’ve heard TPC before, and likely have heard this song, but I couldn’t place remembering it, so I don’t think so. I have pretty good musical recall.
I’m guessing Yuv was Propagandhi. So I think he wins with Joker applied.
eta: I wanted sky to win
