04/05 — Girlfriends, ‘Over My Dead Body’ EP
- Talk!
- Over My Dead Body
- Life’s a Brittany
- Thanks Anyway
- Plastic
The LA-based pop-punk duo, girlfriends, deliver a killer (pun intended) set on their new EP, Over My Dead Body.
This EP is filled with tracks of angst over past girlfriends, relationships, and more. The EP opens with the infectious “Talk!” where the duo comprised of Travis Mills and Nick Gross sing about wondering why a girl keeps running her mouth behind his back.
Their lyricism is witty, clever, and funny. In “Over My Dead Body,” Mills and Gross sing about previously being in love with a girl, but things went gone sour now, and now he wants nothing to do with her. / Don’t call me when you’re sad / or you need to / I don’t want to talk / I don’t even wanna see you / One day we could reunite maybe / Somewhere over my dead body baby…
It’s your perfect mix of pop-punk and pop-rock. The track, “Life’s a Brittany,” is an ode to an ex-girlfriend, Brittany (I presume haha), as they sing: ..“..life’s a bitch / her name is Brittany / woahhh /
Girlfriends know how to take an emo lyric and turn it into a larger-than-life pop-punk anthem. The last track on the EP is titled “Plastic,” and it’s a song about what if we weren’t really together. Between “Thanks Anyway” and “Plastic,” I feel that those are the duo’s strongest songs off the EP.
I look forward to seeing what the future lies ahead for this pair.
