Top Nachos | Hang (single)
Dillon
Good goof punk is surprisingly hard to pull off. I think this is because it’s so transparently gimmicky when a band doesn’t have the love, energy, and confidence to commit to it. Eli and Kenny of TOP Nachos pull it off so well, because they’re clearly having fun and absolutely love doing this. Score: 420/10.

Here is a band that makes it impossible not to have a good time. Unless you have a strong hatred for upbeat poppy punk music. If that is the case you will most likely not have a good time. Anyway Top Nachos is back with a new track. As always they bring their patented high energy, strumming and drumming. Along with their always welcome lighthearted commentary about our very silly modern lives. Hopefully this song will not make you feel really guilty about all the friends you have ever canceled plans with.

The lyrics make me feel seen. But I had to see them written out on band camp to appreciate. It’s a poem about being a grown child who isn’t mature enough (doesn’t have the proper framework /structure) in order to keep a schedule. You know, they say, that people with ADD need routine to get things done but are totally incapable of creating it. Maybe TOP nachos will write about that next :).

It’s 2001, your mom just made you a PB n J. You blow into the blue N64 cartridge and power up Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater, you select Kareem Cambell and start mashing. Life is good. That’s about the most accurate description of the feeling I got, almost instantly, from the first moments of HANG.

what glues together any good song in this type of punk, as kenny and eli have proven themselves to understand very well, is good instinct - even across the spastic guitar and drum performances each part feels like its inspiring itself into the next one and ending simply when it runs out of energy. that’s exactly the arc that, thus far, has always characterized Top Nachos’ best work and HANG definitely, and seemingly effortlessly, hangs with the hall of fame there.
