Bouncy ska with pop-punk sensibilities, guaranteed to put a smile on your face. Not exactly throwaway either – with thinly veiled criticisms aimed at different targets, including the so called ‘War on Terror’. The track as a whole though, is a feel good anthem, an ode to hope, destined for playing loud in the summer (so it feels strange listening to it amidst all the snow at the moment). The song is triumphant, hopeful, and downright fun. So if sublime, upbeat and glorious music is the kind of music you want to listen to, then check this out.
