Love & Fidelity is the first composition on Death Party Playground’s (DPP) new release, Little Joy. The track benefits from major Barenaked Ladies vibes, uniting a front-forward, confident set of lead vocals with splashy drums and assertive guitar riffs. Immense drum fills provide the head, while the guitars (~1:50 mark) bring the fire. This song will be burying itself in your brains for the foreseeable future.
Bright New’s beginning instrumental section calls back to Gone Away-era Offspring as the act adds considerable more emotional intensity to it. When the vocals are added into the mix, the track shifts to a haunting, neo-trad goth approach.
Death Party Playground are exciting, both in terms of how catchy their output is and how well done the instrumentation and vocals come through on these singles.
