Five-piece punk band Spanish Love Songs are sharing their new single and music video ‘Beachfront Property.’ The song is the band’s final single off of their new album, ‘Brave Faces Everyone,’ which will be released today via Pure Noise Records.
Lead vocalist and songwriter, Dylan Slocum shares: “This is a song about the apathy and anxiety that I see in myself and my friends, especially concerning the chaos that seems to be coming our way. On any given day our anxiety feels hyperbolic, or is the punchline to a joke, or keeps us up all night, but we don’t really do anything about it because it feels insurmountable and inescapable. It’s not meant to preachy – life is difficult. But we have to try to call ourselves on our shit if we ever hope to change anything.”
On a more literal level, the track focuses on relevant topics such as climate change, student loan debt, and gun violence – some of the album’s recurring themes – because Slocum obsesses over these problems. He says: “The answers seem so obvious, yet nothing ever really changes. It’s tiring.”
