SONG OF THE WEEK: 3-26-2023




SONG:  "Underachiever"

ARTIST:  The Body Rampant

ALBUM:  "Midnight Mayfair"

YEAR:  2013

PLACE OF ORIGIN:  Los Angeles, California

YEARS ACTIVE:  2009 - 2018



WHAT I THINK THE SONG IS ABOUT:

Here's what the band had to say about "Underachiever". “Underachiever” is a radio-ready song if we have ever heard one. It touches on the same emotional struggles we all deal with in long-term relationships, and washes down the pain with a hook so good you’ll be singing along by the second refrain."

MY THOUGHTS ON THE BODY RAMPANT:

The Body Rampant formed as a band out of the ashes of the band Every Bridge Burned in 2009. The band is from Los Angeles, California. The first release from the band was an EP titled "Transient Years" in 2011. The band's debut full length studio album was released in 2013 and called "Midnight Mayfair". It took five years for The Body Rampant to release a follow up album but "RMPNT" was released in 2018. This would be the band's last release as they broke up soon after the release of this album. The Body Rampant is kinda like a progressive, experimental punk type band. They don't like to be pegged in one hole for sure. I'm positive I found out about these guys from the DyingScene blog which is an awesome spot to find out about punk bands old and new. This is a pretty good band. I like their music but it's not a band that I search out for to listen to as much as other bands. They have some pretty catchy stuff but their career as a band was a bit short.
