SONG OF THE WEEK: 11/6/22




SONG:  "Good Luck, Goodbye"

ARTIST:  Hear The Sirens

ALBUM:  "Some Form Of Stability/Good Luck, Goodbye" 7"

YEAR:  2011

PLACE OF ORIGIN:  Livermore, California

YEARS ACTIVE:  2006 - 2013



WHAT I THINK THE SONG IS ABOUT:

"Good Luck, Goodbye" appears to be a song about feeling you'd be better off going your separate ways. While i don't have the lyrics to the song, after a few listens, I got the sense that the vocalist has some goals he'd like to attain and this person he is with doesn't seem to be totally in his corner. The relationship seems to be more of a strain for both involved.

MY THOUGHTS ON HEAR THE SIRENS:

Hear The Sirens formed as a band back in 2006, hailing from Livermore, California. This East Bay punk outfit dropped an EP in 2009 and followed that up with their debut full length album in that same year, titled "Rebel Hearts Lost". Not long after these releases, the band decided to go their separate ways. In 2011, however, the guys got together, thinking it was just gonna be some jam sessions and maybe even a few live shows. It turned out that they began writing new material, most of which would end up on their sophomore full length album and what would turn out to be their last release, 2012's "Renegade". Hear The Sirens last played a live show in 2013 and I haven't heard any news from them since so I assume they have broken up. Early on, Hear The Sirens had a little more of a hardcore edge to them, think of bands like Strike Anywhere. But, after they reunited in 2011, their sound became more of a melodic, pop punk vibe perhaps in the same vein of early Green Day. The first time I heard of Hear The Sirens was definitely their 2012 "Renegade" album and I'm absolutely positive that I discovered this band through dyingscene.com. Pretty good band, just seemed like it wasn't destined to be for these guys.
