Preyed Upon That Summertime Kind Of Way

Sometimes kids when a song hits you in the jaw, it not only hurts it stings and leaves a mark. Hippo Campus' 'Suicide Saturday' positions their take on an action where consequences are retold through imagery and a chorus line perfected to an outstanding degree. Once an obession begins to evolve for a song, looking for other music to review or listen to becomes a hard task. Almost painful because that one minute away from the one song where your attention is 150% obtained feels overwhelming and gratifying.

The Minnesota based band brings a truth telling quality to the young adult soul that has been sorely lacking. By hiding the heart sickening words behind the hook in line beat, can only be marked by a creative considerate thought. By placing a sense of beauty with a line that goes "it was a suicide saturday, in a summer time kind of way" with a subtle recollection of what happened afterwards.

When it comes to interpreting an action or event, having a hand on the moment when it happens fast forwarding to the nostalgic memories of the past and then venturing in the direction of the future to deal with the complicated repercussions...is severe. Hippo Campus grasp ahold of this pinpoint in time by translating it the best way imaginable. From a young adult voice to the real world in which it occurs.
