Nid and Sancy - Be Yourself Tonight

You can’t expect much from a name like that, which makes this track an even more pleasant surprise than it might have been. The tension is built from the beginning moment of the track, until the roiling bass and guitar build to a climactic peak in which an honest-to-god guitar riff sample comes barreling in to knock you off your feet. It does its job, mainly because it’s so unexpected, but once you get used to it, it makes perfect sense. But then you’re knocked off your feet again with the false ending! This, my friends, is dance-punk done right. Take note.

Surprise / Surprise 027
