Past the Last Exit

Went to see Herman Dune this week. This song, for instance, is an instant classic- great lyrics, cracking tune, good indie music.



However, I did not know when I went to see them that every other Herman Dune song, aprt from one, sounds EXACTLY this one- same chords, same tone, same tune, same type of lyrics. I had heard two songs before I went- this one, and the only other one which doesn't sound like this one. And they played for almost two hours. The same song, never breaking out of the same vocal range, same story...

Sometimes you have to go back to what you know- if this isn't the most passionate performance of a song on the whole internet, I want to see the one that beats it.
