Count Your Lucky Stars (2019)
Whenever I get a cassette, it usually breaks down into one of three situations. The first is that I already know and like the band, so I had no choice but to buy the cassette since there was no CD or vinyl release. The second one is that one of those tape labels from Buffalo sent me another weirdo tape from some local band that has way too much yelling in it. The final scenario is what I've experienced with Singing Lungs. It showed up in the mail one day, isn't from upstate New York and actually has pretty solid artwork. I was definitely more intrigued than usual.
That intrigue paid off with a pretty solid listen. Singing Lungs are playing a relatively poppy strain of punk rock with crunchy Armchair Martian style guitars and earnest vocals that venture into a rootsy territory from time to time. While I wouldn't classify them as the sort of band that's going to instantly catapult into your favorites list, all five songs are genuinely good and worth a listen.
The band also sent a full CD that I haven't listened to yet. I figured I'd tackle the tape first at is was newer. But this EP has left a good impression and I'm excited to check out some more tunes by these guys.
