Now, consider Can't Bear This Party, a continental euro easycore band (French to be precise, but don't hold that against them) who have all the features we've come to know and love from euro easy core including, but not limited to:
- A redonk band name
- Silly accents/undecipherable lyrics
- Zany song titles
- Breakdowns/synth/multiple vocal styles/gang chorus
- Fast skate punk rhythms
- Breakdowns that are incorporated into the song as a whole, not just wedged in after the second chorus
- A drummer who does more than 3 beats and the odd fill
- Occasional decipherable lyrics!
Here's an example from their EP Modern Factory
It's a pretty bitchin' song but they then released Ain't No Princess in 2010 and added more elements to their arsenal of fun including:
- Novelty sound effects such as a microwave chime and telephone
- Even more ridiculous drumming, and more genres thrown in
- A xylophone and a breakdown featuring said xylophone
- Tasty melodic gang choruses
The album even has a generic breakdown intro song complete with zany video!
All of the breakdowns, all of the drumming, dat album artwork <3
So word is they have a new album coming out this year. But the question is; will they take the progressive easycore fun up a level or go srs?
