At first glance, Fort Lean looks like a washed up heavy metal band with a vocalist whose hair looks rather unwashed. I honestly had no intentions of searching them on YouTube. I suppose you can say it was the hair. I wondered if there was anything more unique about the band aside from the hair. Not surprisingly, the answer to that is a big fat YES. I've only listened to three of their songs, but I swear, this band will go places. I'm so happy to be proven wrong (though I still don't think he washes his hair). Beach Holiday is genius. It's catchy and upbeat with just the right depth and the right dose of emotion. It's happy but not really, which almost never happens in a song I would think. Checked the lyrics and found out that I was hearing sarcasm all along. I called it right. The song's about a beach holiday from the perspective of a sadist. I think I love them even more now. And if that doesn't make you curious enough to play the video, I don't know what will. If you feel like listening to more Fort Lean, I would recommend High Definition and Sunsick. Enjoy! :)
