MP3: Beast Make Bomb - "Rewind"
The past is a tricky thing, for many reasons. It determines so much of the future, and yet, you can't return to it to change anything. As a result, it's often the case that the present is spent recollecting the past and wondering what could have been different, what could have been changed. The present then becomes a sort of limbo, designed for the sole purpose of carrying us along to the future. "Rewind" is a song that waxes nostalgic, expressing that nagging desire to return to yesterday. And so, the song becomes a celebration of the better times and a way to forever hold on to the past.
"Rewind" is a cross between garage rock and the post-harcore/post-punk of bands like Pretty Girls Make Graves and At the Drive-In. It's a song that makes me recall driving through the back roads of the Maryland suburbs while blaring and burying my head in the sounds of various indie bands. For me, it's an embodiment of nostalgia because it reminds me of the joy I felt discovering indie rock. It's transports me back to my high school years when I was hung up on the past, trying to sort out everything with help from bands such as At the Drive-In, From Safety To Where, Pretty Girls Make Graves, and Q and Not U.
"Rewind" is from Beast Make Bomb's new EP, Skinny Legs.
