So I decided to try and do these every day, because I like a challenge.
Today's feature is "3,000 Miles Away" by obscure punk band Star Fucking Hipsters. This band is the epitome of a punk band: band members with strange names, anti-cop references, hard-hitting power chords and drum beats, piercings, hair coloring, and so on. They're definitely worth a listen, too, particularly this song.
The music video features Ethan Suplee from My Name Is Earl, Boy Meets World, and The Butterfly Effect as a police officer. Featuring Ethan Suplee in their video incited a lot of criticism with their fans, because apparently, punk bands are too good to have celebrities in their videos. Actually, they're too good for videos at all.
Star Fucking Hipsters is a punk supergroup, composed of members from a bunch of other bands no one's ever heard of, most notably the male singer, Stza's band, Leftover Crack. Yeah, they have two singers, too.
I'm a really big fan of the vocal melody in this song; it reminds me of something I would hear in a Tony Hawk's Pro Skater game.
