Quiz Show – Super Concrete

“Super Concrete” by Quiz Show is a raw and energetic punk track that pays homage to the unconventional life of Chris Matthews’ brother, who found beauty and purpose amidst societal judgments and challenges. With Chris Matthews and bassist Jesse Krakow of Shudder To Think fame, along with drummer Joe Billy, Quiz Show delivers a powerful experience that resonates with authenticity and passion. The track exudes a melodic punk vibe reminiscent of bands like Girls Against Boys, Pavement, and The Offspring. From the first chords, the raw guitar riffs and energetic vocals draw listeners into a whirlwind of creative chaos. The melodic vocals fit seamlessly with the instrumentals, creating a dynamic and engaging atmosphere that invites listeners to stomp their feet, raise their fists, and yell along with the chorus. What sets “Super Concrete” apart is its secret lo-fi sound, especially noticeable in the drums, which adds an element of authenticity and rawness to the track. This departure from polished production values gives the song a gritty charm that feels refreshing in an era dominated by mainstream sounds. The lyrics delve into themes of love, loss, and the struggle to find one’s place in the world. With lines like “What kind of life is this to find? He fell in love and now he’s blind,” the song explores the complexities of human relationships and emotions with depth and sincerity. As the track builds to its climax, the energy intensifies, driving home the emotional weight of the lyrics. With its infectious rhythm and impassioned delivery, “Super Concrete” embraces authenticity and defy societal norms.
