The year is 2005, and pop punk is taking over the radio waves. The guitars are heavy, the bass is thrashing, and the lyrics are coming atcha fast. At the center of all of this was Fall Out Boy with the massive hit ‘Sugar We’re Goin Down’. Even the kids in our high school who didn’t like rock were singing this in the hallways. It was everywhere. It’s the song that turned Tom and Pat’s high school band into what it was, and if there’s anything that’s better than this song, it’s most definitely the music video. Music video director Matt Lenski did more in 3 minutes and 50 seconds than most filmmaker do in 90 minutes, told a compelling and heartwarming story about a boy who loves a girl, a man who hates a boy, but turns out to actually hate himself. It was very well done, finger-licking salute and all.   Links:Sugar We’re Goin Down Music Video Neal Avron Matt Lenski 'Sugar We're Goin' Down' is a really great example of people with antlers in cinema by Pat Holmes Number 1 With a Bullet Origins Sugar We’re Goin Down Misheard Lyrics Video     Songs of the week: Camouflage by The Front Bottoms Imported by Jessie Reyez and 6LACK     *Listen to these songs and millions of other songs on Apple Music with a 3 month free trial*   Follow us on Twitter at @_ReminscentFM and on Instagram!
