NICE GUYS: “Desert Rose”

Stripped down basement punk. NICE GUYS bring a little more than your standard three- or four-chord progression salad. It’s a rhythm-forward kind of thing with a bouncy vibe. Which would do the job by itself, but wait for the song to blow up like a wad of m-80s in a mailbox at around the 1:25 mark. All of a sudden the track is a power rock, psych exploration, Wild West rambler for about 20 seconds. The fireworks are gone before you know it, just like punk songs in general.

Stream, share, buy to your heart’s content.
