SONG OF THE WEEK: 2-4-2024




SONG:  "Lost In Transit"

ARTIST:  Burnt Tapes

ALBUM:  "Never Better"

YEAR:  2019

PLACE OF ORIGIN:  London, United Kingdom

YEARS ACTIVE:  2014 - present



WHAT I THINK THE SONG IS ABOUT:

I can't find the lyrics to "Lost In Transit" on the web anywhere but it seems the song is about how the drugs and the booze have the vocalist kind of going in all different directions. Like his mind is going all over the place. He can't seem to figure out exactly what he wants. But the drugs are good!

MY THOUGHTS ON BURNT TAPES:

The members of Burnt Tapes were all actually born in Athens, Greece, but they decided to move to London and form a band back in 2014. Their very first release was an EP in 2014 titled "Wasted History". Their debut and only full length studio album to date is 2019's "Never Better". The band has put out a few EP's as well as some singles over the years. Their most recent release was the stand alone single "Little Sister" in 2023. The Burnt Tapes are one of the most recent bands that I've been following so they are very new to me. They self-describe their sound as "regret punk". They have pop punk and melodic punk tendencies. They're a pretty good punk band. I'm still learning their catalogue but I'm liking what I'm hearing so far. Hopefully they tour the States soon.
