New Discovery: Nobody Takes Vegas




Nick LaGreca, Harrison Feuer, Jack Morrow, Rob Krug, Jimmy Kubik. You should keep these names in mind because the guys behind these names form the pop-punk rock band Nobody Takes Vegas from Long Island, New York. They released their same-titled album on September 14th 2012, which I want to introduce to you now. 

There are five songs on the record and the guys managed to let every song sound differently than the others. The first song, Riding in Cars with Bears, deals with breaking up with somebody who turned out to be fake and how to handle the situation. While listening I could literally feel the bitter experience the writer described.
The second song, Half Dead in Hempstead, is my favourite. Not only is it catchy, it tells the story of many teenagers who are just different. Who may have colourful hair or piercings or dreams which sound stupid in the ears of adults. I assume I speak the mind of many young people when I say that it can be very exhausting when adults feel the need to tell us how to live our lives and there's one line in the song which also mentions this: „Why does the world decide to get involved and tell us what to do?“
I have to admit that I had troubles finding out the main topics of the other three songs but that doesn't mean they're less quality than the others. What I like a lot is how Nick incorporates the screaming parts because they're not the biggest parts of the songs but yet they exist. In my opinion he's a very talented vocalist anyway and I'd love to hear him singing some slower songs or even the songs on this record as acoustic versions.
All in all I'm very glad I discovered Nobody Takes Vegas because they're a very talented band and I really hope to hear more in the future!
Thanks for the free album guys!
