Shehehe - "Elton John"
The latest from Athens, GA's Shehehe is a joyous, exuberant punk meets indie rock song, despite the fact that its predominant lyrics are "My heroes are dying." "Elton John" is a two minute burst of a song about how hearing music from your heroes makes you feel young. It's a fun and noisy song that makes me think of the Ramones (speaking of heroes that have passed...) "Elton John" certainly isn't the new Dylan, but sometimes you just need a fun rock song without any hidden messages or interpretation of lyrics.
You can watch the video for "Elton John" below. Namedroppers is due out August 23 on SAY-10 Records. For more on Shehehe, check out the band's website.
