2. “James Dean” by The Wrecks
February 18, 2020
This was not my original number two song, but this track definitely deserves to be on this list. “James Dean” was released in 2018 on The Wrecks’ first EP, “Panic Vertigo.” This song is about a party the lead singer’s (Nick Anderson) first year in school. According to the song, he was caught by his mom and that made him uncool.
All of The Wrecks’ songs sound different. From “Favorite Liar” to “Freaking Out,” they have a song for everyone. Personally, I love all of their songs. The first journalism story I ever wrote was a review of their concert at Reverb Lounge on Nov. 1, 2017. I would definitely recommend this rock ‘n’ roll tune.
