Editors' Picks: The Broadways
Justin: Sometimes you want to spend the night with an old friend, sitting in your room reminiscing, rather than heading out and meeting new people out and about. My friday night was spent, as you can tell, spending time with some old friends in my room. The songs that Brendan, Chris, Rob and Dan wrote with the Broadways are classics to my ears. The lyrics, albeit slightly naive and immature at times, combine biting social commentary with personal tales of loss that ring true nearly 10 years after the quartet called it quits. "15 Minutes" is the bands magnum opus: a declaration of war against the culture of efficiency over humanity that rumbles into climax with the introspective shout "I'm not crazy just frustrated."
