Memories- Say It! Say It!

Say It! Say It! is a five piece pop-rock band from New York. They haven't really hit the 'big time' yet, but they make good music. I heard them last night when they followed me on Instagram and I looked them up on iTunes (when artists follow me on social media- more often then not- I look up their music). I really liked the two singles they had on there, and I found myself thinking "oh my god, people should check these guys out", I then realized that I have a blog and can tell people to do exactly that! I chose to write this review about their most recent single, "Memories" for a few reasons: It is their most recent release, they do not have an EP or album, and- in the words of Capital Cities- it's good shit.

Say It! Say It! combines techno sounds with pop punk and rock n roll to create a sound that I don't really feel fits into one category. They use a lot of synth and guitar which causes their music to sound very unique and awe-inspiring; it's as if they are the love children of Erasure, DaftPunk, and Queen, and I love it. They combine Panic! At The Disco sounding singing, synth like Skrillex, guitar like AC/DC, and lyrics like Kanye West. There are so many different genres present in this band's sound and I am absolutely impressed and confused by how well it all works together.

"Memories" begins with a keyboard track and vocals, which is soon joined by a drumbeat. This track is about having a good time, and just letting go of everything and not thinking too much. "I don't give a fuck, gonna live it up. I am young and I am living my life"; those lines really embody the thoughts of many people in their late teens and twenties. I could, without a doubt, see this song becoming a sort of anthem for you people. Everyone just wants to make some memories and have a good time; that is what this song is about.

Say It! Say It! don't have that many songs out right now, but everything of theirs I have heard has made me want to dance and impressed by the depth of the lyrics. The thing that most techno songs lack is strong lyrics and meaning (if they have lyrics at all); that is the main reason I have trouble listening and connecting to a lot of the dubstep, rap, and techno- no matter how good their music is. This is a group that I can listen to and play for my friends, no matter what kind of music they're into.
