Description

First press on vinyl! Have A Great Life, the 2019 album from Harley Poe.
This Horror Folk Punk album is cheerfully morbid, with songs that all border on grotesque, creepy, or melancholy paired with upbeat music. A slight edge of classic horror in metaphors about life & love. -K. McLaughlin Best of 2019: Harley Poe is a controversial group in the Folk Punk scene, due to their lack of filter when it comes to lyrical content. For me, I see the artist using certain metaphors as a sardonic view on the world, and the writer's inner demons, while others feel as though their use of said metaphors can be a trigger. Either way, this album, absent of most of the "problem" lyrics, has Harley Poe right back where they are comfortable: Horror mixed with Folk Punk and Sarcasm. The intro guitar to "Eat Shit and Die" really takes the cake for me, musically, and the washboard compliments it so well, which blend together for a perfect base for Joe's intelligent, yet controversial, lyrics to blend into my favorite track of the album. -David Wilkins, Punk News 50 Best Records of 2019: When it comes to quality folk punk bands there's not a lot to find anymore, especially with artists like AJJ (Andrew Jackson Jihad) and Against Me! Shifting their focus from the genre. Perhaps that's why this album sounds so refreshing? It's not that the group is doing something new for them, it's still catchy, mostly up-tempo tracks focused done on acoustic instruments and focused on dark subject matter. Even though the style has been done before, there's still something to be said about how great dark themes played over music backed by instruments like a kazoo or a glockenspiel can deeply impact the listener and even serve as a type of therapy. -Medium
