Song of the Day - "Love and Violence" - Third Tme Luckie

Third Time Luckie


Riveting percussion,  the sweet kick of the drum sets the tone for this bass wrecked,  guitar driven track . "Love and Violence" feels carefully crafted yet stealthily arranged. The track puts the punchy bass to good use to keep up with the driving drums. "Just a whisper away with another round of hollow apologies... Won't you please come back to me"  Wavy vocals under the crush of deftly wound guitar. "Heard it all before" The guitar continues to sting.

Third Time Lucky is a 3 piece post pop punk band hailing from the South of England. TTL consists of Chris guitarist/vocals, Andy bassist/vocals, and DJ. Carl the drummer.  The name emanates from learning from one's mistakes.   I relate.

They comfortably melt both genres with an even balance of elements of  pop and punk. They are creating a vital sound. While they "Shut out the outside".  Lyrics examine the dichotomy between amore and disdain The every reaching question mixing o love and contempt .  A curious dissection of a relationship ready to implode or keep going.  A private conversation between the only two that matter in their entanglement.

The bass cooks against a shot of electronica. Perhaps the masculine and feminine colliding.   The emotional battle wages on.  He sings " It's never been easy." Truthful love never is. The fierce drumming that shook us in  now take us out.

Justin Townes Earle will be sorely missed. Thank you.

Demons descend in order to hold you down. Demons can be kicked. Demons will return. It is not the fault of those who continue to welcome them back in their life.  Justin Townes Earle battled since he was 12. He once mentioned he couldn't believe he was 12 and shooting up every day. The underrated stellar song writer and guitar slinger was an acquired taste. He spoke the truth. If you were able to get  mentally tough enough not to look away you can understand the pain underneath his melancholy yet gorgeous offerings. A son, a songwriter, a new husband and the father of 2 year old, Etta. Breaks my already cracked heart that she will be denied some time with her Dad.  Middle named for his Dad's mentor for alt country music, the original badass , Townes Van Zandt, Justin had his issues with his Dad, Steve. But you know he loved him.   He sang a lot about his mother who tended to look the other way when he fked up.(Mama's Eyes")   "I am my fathers son/I ain...
