Just like “Girl!”, this track reminds me of the peaking days of passionate, honest indie rock. “Forget Everything That Makes You Want To Not Be This Band” is gleaming with positive energy, big naïve emotions and a sense of welcome and all-inclusiveness. Perhaps some see this as “a theme song for the musical youth”, but for some of us, Terror Pigeon! evokes nostalgia; those long gone days when being in a band actually felt like a fun thing to be part of. And besides, there’s always something refreshing when stumbling across a band where image, PR and number of downloads at least feels secondary to a genuine love for writing music and endlessly touring the hell out of it.
