Real Sickies - It Came From Above
Yesterday was a great day if you're a fan of super catchy pop punk music as there were 2 highly anticipated albums that both dropped. One of them, Gigantic Sike, was covered by Josh on his excellent Faster And Louder blog (http://fasterandlouderblog.blogspot.com/2019/08/mean-jeans-gigantic-sike.html) so today I'll post a song from the other one.
No strangers to Just Some Punk Songs (https://justsomepunksongs.blogspot.com/2015/03/real-sickies-go-away.html / https://justsomepunksongs.blogspot.com/2018/06/real-sickies-get-well-soon.html), Real Sickies are from Edmonton, Alberta and play old school pop punk in the vein of Teenage Head, Teenage Bottlerocket and The Ramones. Their new album is titled Out Of Space and it features "13 rocket-propelled, turbo boosted, NASA disavowed tracks of incurable, infectious bliss." It's a half hour blast of feel good music that'll surely find the approval of anyone who likes their punk rock to contain catchy choruses and melodies galore. It's available on various different coloured ltd edition vinyl (pink pathogen, bluebonic plague, black death) and on digital download. It's on Stomp Records and you can snap it up here : https://realsickies.bandcamp.com/album/out-of-space
They've a few gigs lined up, including an album release show, and you can check details here : https://www.facebook.com/therealsickies/
There's plenty of contenders for favourite song but after a couple of listens to the album, this possibly made the biggest impression. It Came From Above...
I came along way since yesterday
Pretty hard to change my ways
When it came from above
I realize why your heart went astray
And why it might feel better that way
When they come for your love
When they come from above
All I want is for a chance to say that I
Don’t wanna say goodbye
So please don’t leave me behind
I can’t change time or the path behind
But in our ways we’ve both been blind
When they came from above
I’ll do whatever it takes
Spurts of love or masked graves
When it comes to your love
When it comes from above
Went the wrong way, said the wrong thing
Then I did it all over again
But I came along way, a very long way just to hear you say that
Those satellites of love the ones up high above
Can’t change our love
