SINGLE REVIEW: ..It Happens - Keep Your Petty Life

Single Review
Written By Amy

'Keep Your Petty Life' bursts with a pretentious, attitude-filled vibe that I absolutely love. It's got a fantastic groove that taps into a blend of electronica elements and glittering riffs, bringing a new wave, artsy flair to the mix. This track combines the urgency of punk with the DIY ethos of indie music, creating a sound that's both retro and dynamic.

The distinctive vocals of ..It Happens are a standout, maintaining their raw, impassioned style while exploring this catchy and infectious melody. It shows a different facet of their sound which I really enjoyed, yet remains true to their core musical identity.

The backstory of 'Keep Your Petty Life' adds an intriguing layer to the experience. Written some 13 years ago, the song serves as a fiery rant directed at an ex who didn’t treat the single Terhi right. This narrative injects the track with authentic, relatable angst, turning the tune into a catchy, empowering anthem for anyone who’s ever felt undervalued in a relationship.
