Hope Is a Dangerous Little Thing - The Menzingers

Hope Is a Dangerous Little Thing - The Menzingers
3:12
Some Of It Was True, 2023
Written by the Menzingers

Raw, emotional yet muscular Americana punk, reminiscent of the Lawrence Arms and Gaslight Anthem.  The album title seems to come from the Clash's "London's Burning," which is at the least a sign the band has good taste.  Built on a fierce percussion backbone, this song is an arm-pumping, depressing anthem of not being loved by the one you love: "I passed a restaurant burned to the ground / And a dollar store with a burned out A / I laughed thinking that I relate / I'm the junk you buy then throw away."
