Tape Girl’s got all the flare of a Sonic Adventure 2 internet glitter gif and you can feel it every time you listen to this. It feels like drinking a really sparkly soda in the middle of the summer. It’s just got so much of what I love about not just ska or even music but art as a whole! Like any hero, Tape Girl is here at just the right time. Let’s go!
Favorite track: No Thoughts, Head Empty (Single Version).

This is one of the best ska singles I've heard in a long while. Stylistically it hearkens back to the solo era of Bomb the Music Industry but feels very fresh and original, taking that synthy aesthetic to a new place. Incredibly excited to hear more.
Favorite track: No Thoughts, Head Empty (Single Version).

This record gives me hope for the future. I've never heard a ska song with this kind of instrumentation/colors before and I am looking forward to more from Tape Girl!
Favorite track: No Thoughts, Head Empty (Single Version).
Words can't escape my brain when I know that I can't be connected in the way that I...
Need them to be because its so easy to know what not to do but not how to do it
I don't know
what I want to talk about
but I do know
I like what you're singing about
So take as long as you need
Because I'll be here listening
So play as long as you need
Because I'll be here listening to everything you say
And your words are just so magically engraved in my brain
and i can't think about what I want to say
Because All of by brain is blank
and I can't think of anything
Constantly phrases sometimes pass me by
But I'm not sure if they're entirely mine
Or If I heard them this dream
just subconsciously
How do I tell you how much you mean to me
My fingers
just move around on there own
I can't do words
only guitar solo
(wicked awesome guitar solo)
Because all of by brain is blank
and I'll stick to playing these strings

Hey y'all I updated the mixes for all these songs, plus like I think my hard drive messed up and gave me the BTMI! cover that I did from an alternate dimension Beth because it sounds way better than the one I did, but I'm gonna go with it because it sounds really good :3c
This is a song about listening to music and becoming so infatuated in the albums and songs you listen to that you end up losing your voice and ideas that you want to sure to the world because you think everyone else has already said what you wanted to say, leaving you with No Thoughts, and your Head Empty...
Also BTMI Cover because I love that song :3
