Kid Liberty just released an album called Give Up. Give In. It drops today, to be exact. And I’m sure I’m not the first one to point out the obvious, but I hope to beat it into the ground. The album is called Give Up. Give In. That’s right, no shit. Give Up. Give In. I’m not sure which band member (or more likely, management) came up with this genius title, but I think it’s an incredibly bad idea. The door to terrible puns has been kicked open and is being held wide open. Give Up. Just Give Up. Imagine if this album flops or if this album sucks. Think of the mileage reviewers can get off that simple title. They might as well just name their kids Ben Dover. But let’s get into the actual review, as I’m sure you are all dying to hear what I have to say on this one.
This one is a four song ep. Bullet Tooth Records (post Trustkill Records). There is one new song, two acoustic tracks and a Cee Lo Green cover song. Yes, that’s right. A Cee Lo Green cover. Fuck You. Wow. Before even listening to the EP, I said to myself, “oooooooffff.” That dude had his 15 minutes of fame about 6000 internet lifetimes ago. And now Kid Liberty record and release the song? Wow. Terrible idea, just awful. Give up. Plus, the original is shit. It’s just awful so you can only imagine how “entertaining” the cover song is. It’s been appropriately mall punkified for easy listening. Ugh. The acoustic songs will appeal to your skinny jeaned, warped tour little sister. Maybe. She might also get into push pitting over the new track. It was not for me. I could not give in to these songs. Not even close. This album’s saving grace? In reverse alphabetical order, it’s immediately followed by Kid Dynamite. Yeah, I had to stretch for the positive. Sorry.
If after my review (because we all know how shit awful my reviews are), you are still interested, you can pick this album up on amazon or your local record store. For older merch, check Ebay. Good luck.
