I fell in love with Celebration Rock, because I first heard it when I was a year out of college and was whimsical for the times I had no responsibilities and could drink with my friends all day. A thing I like to do with bands I like, is look them up on YouTube to see if I can find deep cuts or live performances and I found a live performance of "Fire's Highway," a song I loved because of the "A northern soul in southern lands/Will always find his way to southern hands" worked in inverse for my girlfriend and I. That live recording performed a crib death on my Japandroids hardcore fandom, without the benefits of drinks in my system or an audience's energy I was left with two Canadian bros struggling to keep it together. I still love Celebration Rock, because it fucking rocks from top to bottom, and I still love drinking, but the disillusionment is easy to understand.

Anyways, I'd highly recommend the band Martha, they slap and have emotional lyrics that are also smart.
