Total Psychos - I Hit Myself
Rock, Punk, Alternative
Etobicoke, Canada
Overall Impression: Total Psychos deliver a white-knuckled Punk-fueled tale of clumsiness and chaos in their original track, "I Hit Myself"! Classically distorted guitars herald the start of the suffering, forming a raw but restrained foundation for the verse's setup before Total Psychos explode into a bright Punk Rock chorus of unfortunate events as they outline a series of mishaps ranging from facial dislocation to a potential wounding charge in the self-explanatory "I Hit Myslef".
Strongest Point(s): Excellent instrumental work! The tones and techniques employed throughout "I Hit Myself" are rock solid, time-honored, and evocative - capturing the frantic chaos of the lyrics through wild overdrives and bombastic, chugging progressions. Once the song reaches the chorus, the bold brightness of the sound makes a great counterpoint for the unlucky onslaught of violent circumstances, and the electric lead solo serves as a compelling bow on top of the experience! Great sounds!
Target Audience Appeal: "I Hit Myself" nails a sense of humor and musical drive that promise to resonate among fans of Punk Rock in all of its permutations - gleefully wrapping disconcerting lyrical imagery in a cloak of high-octane guitar, drums, and bass to achieve an experience that feels endlessly familiar while indisputably original. For those that dig the vibe, Total Psychos is be a name to keep an eye on and "I Hit Myself" serves as a killer introduction to what creativity is yet to come!
