Song "Megan Seling Sucks"

Posted by Megan Seling on Fri, May 21, 2010 at 2:13 PM

In this week's Underage I talk a little bit about Grenades, the new Schoolyard Heroes/Kane Hodder hybrid that could possibly be enjoyed by folks who had no interest at all in the members' previous projects (they're heavier and, as far as I can tell, they don't sing about horror movies). They have played something like four (five?) shows in Seattle and a number of friends who've seen those shows have said they're really good and getting better (here's a recent video of them playing the Comet, in fact). They're playing the Black Lodge this Saturday night with Requin and Cold Lake, but really the whole reason I even said anything at all was because I wanted an excuse to talk about one of my new favorite songs, "Megan Seling Sucks."

My name is Megan Seling! And apparently I suck. At least according to People We Hate, an old Seattle band that I sort of remember. The reason I mention it is because one of the guys from that band is now in Requin (in the column I said two guys from PWH are now in Requin, but that was wrong—what can I say, I suck). I can't completely tell what they're singing in the song, but they sound angry so I'm guessing it's not very flattering. The song itself is a brash, fast, and sloppy rock tune and I like it.

That's okay, right? To like a song about how much you suck? It's ironic, or whatever?

Hear it here. And then go see Requin tomorrow night at the Black Lodge.

At least the song's pretty catchy, it's better than having a totally crappy song about you.

added fun fact: Requin have a song trashing Eric Grandy. while I prefer it when bands have more interesting subject matter in their lyrics, you gotta admire people who keep it real throughout their music career.
