Paige's Playlist, May 9 2020: "Painkiller" by Beach Bunny
Beach Bunny is one of my favorite newer artists that I've discovered in the past year. The topic of their music is often quite sad- take "Painkiller", for instance, which discusses a toxic relationship. The lyrics don't shy away from the dark nature of the material or the true nature of the relationship. And yet, the music is just so much fun. It's the kind of rock that you would hear on a boardwalk, with infectious melodies and upbeat guitar riffs. It's this divide that makes Beach Bunny's music so unique, and the lead singer does a fantastic job toeing the line in her performance. The whole package is some wonderful music that is a fun listen with some interesting depth that gives it longevity.
