BREAKOUT VID: "Theme song," Ang Bandang Shirley

Projecting the kind of treatment familiar to Sugarfree videos wherein losers/hopeless romantics/geeks emerge as emphatic characters, Ang Bandang Shirley's latest single "Themesong" is surefire hit in the making. Although a friend of mine hated it, its popsicle-feel and candid humor storytelling emanates prefectly the kind of charm that the song suggests: melodic guitar-pop structure, vocal harmonies, tribute to subtle arrangements and easy lyrics. Never borders from trying too hard. Just pure power pop menace that fans of Eraserheads and New Pornographers would beg off listening for more!
