The Days go on and on and the nights just seem so long

  • May 6, 2009
  • Popjustice

The Days are a likeable band with a handful of good tunes but they seem not to exactly have captured the public's ima­gin­a­tion. To put it another way, NOBODY CARES. Funny (trans: not funny really) how things turn out. Somewhat bravely their new single is titled 'Never Give Up'; its video is ALMOST a really good idea and is ALMOST a really good way of show­cas­ing the band's per­son­al­it­ies, except for the fact that the whole thing is obviously bollocks. So you have to think, 'what's the actual point?'. And the point is that there really isn't a point. There's no point to any of this. It's only pop music. Sometimes we wonder why everyone doesn't just pack up and go home.
