So Much Work So Little Fun


AIM Submission


Inspired by this Poliips piece, Tired (check her out she is great!):



I am currently studying for the bar so I can relate. When I read about AIM, I immediately knew we had to do a piece by Poliip because she let us use a piece for our EP cover a few months back. We checked out her stuff and chose, at the time, her most recent piece. We decided to take the picture, which looked depressing and make the song about avoiding doing work. We applied a twist, indicative of our own style, by making the song upbeat and funny.


Essentially it is about doing everything to avoid the work. The band and I decided the song needed handclaps and went from there. We recorded a demo of this song the first few nights after I read about AIM and then slowly worked on it for a few weeks.

Haha...we actually have a lyrical flash video. You check it out in our profile :)

Just some really great Pop Punk, I like your style. Keep up the good work.

So Much Work, fitting title for a track that sounds so carefully constructed and well executed! Melody stays on point with a poppy yet empowered feel of drums, bass, and acoustics, Vocals were kinda odd at the start, but slowly and surely amalgamated itself within the core of the song, giving it a harmonic yet satirical feel. So Much Work indeed, hope to hear more from you guys!

Very well mixed. Sounds very transparent. The drums sound really powerful. The voice is good and pleasant to listen too (that's pretty rare overall). All the other instruments clear. I wish though the chorus had more text than just "procrastinating in the sun". Feels like the first sentence of a really catchy sing along chorus, except it's not the first but the only sentence, and you can't really sing along with just one sentence. Should be at least 3 more sentences.

0:49 genius ^___^

Agreed with Cabbster on that point. Good song! Intro sounded a little messy. And cool concept, can totally relate.
