Whole Wheat Bread...deserves to be heard

Word Press

Earlier this week, a friend of mine sent me a link to a YouTube video on Facebook chat.  I opened it up and a was a song by a band called "Whole Wheat Bread".  It was pretty good and I decided to listen to some more songs by them and they are a  pretty talented group of musicians.  They are also a punk rock band like the band that I talked about last week.  I do listen to many other styles of music, but this is a band that happened to come into my life this week so I thought it would be appropriate to talk about them.

Whole Wheat Bread consists of three band members and they have a very interesting sound.  Some of their songs remind me of Blink 182 in that the guitar licks sound similar.  Apparently others feel the same way because a user on YouTube actually uploaded a song named "Feel Like Shit" by Whole Wheat Bread but the title and description of the video say that the song is by Blink 182.  Coincidentally, this is actually one of the songs that does remind of Blink 182 a bit and I would definitely recommend listening for yourself.  Many of their songs are about relatively simple subjects.  However, the reason that can be a good thing is because simple subjects are usually things people can either relate to or at least understand.  For example, "No Future" is about the desire to remain young and living rebelliously.  "Staying True" is about just that.  You have to stay true to yourself for your friends.  Basically, be yourself around them and only then can you truly be their for each other.  Whole Wheat Bread also records some rap songs as well, but for the most part they stick to their punk rock sound.

I think the simple messages in their songs can be very important in life.  Simple messages can go a long way.  I'm curious if you know any bands that also have simple messages in their songs which have a lot of meaning behind them?
