Intensely and heavily, Four Black Lungs reimagine "I Don't Wanna Be an Asshole Anymore."
Four Black Lungs inject rawness, melody, and passion into "I Don't Wanna Be an Asshole Anymore," originally performed by The Menzingers. Instead of making that often-repeated attempt to imitate a song, the band adds a touch of their heartland punk vibe, using the styles of Hot Water Music, Iron Chic, and Spanish Love Songs to come up with a version of the song that feels both known yet refreshingly new.
Four Black Lungs have approached the song "I Don't Wanna Be an Asshole Anymore" with a strong DIY punk vibe, arranging themselves as both hard and gritty while pursuing the anthemic spirit within. The gravelly voice, galloping guitars, and high-energy drumming add urgency and emotional punch to each chase. The raw production and passionate delivery feel less like a cover and more like a personal address to redemption and reflection.
In a nice piece where Menzingers put heck-ish accomplishments in Comfort Cookies, Four Black Lungs releases this tremendous, aggressive, driving momentum that transforms the song from a heavy, melancholic meditation into an anthem for personal transformation. Those themes of restlessness and desperation dance just very real upon the page, taking on a whole new shade of immediacy and visceral effect.
In an age where covers and remakes tend to feel overly repetitive, Four Black Lungs have found their way through by injecting "I Don't Wanna Be an Asshole Anymore" with their persona. The brazen way they balance melody with raw emotion is an illustration of their burgeoning influence within Europe's punk scene. This track has been able to capture their consummate musicianship, emotional punch, and tight connection to the roots of punk and its storytelling.
Now, beyond this record, the band has indelibly cemented its reputation with the release of the recent full-length album Don't Tell Me There Is Nothing Left through Noisy Plastic Records. "Recovery" and "Old Patterns"-singles on the album-promise to launch fistfuls as they deal with self-reflection and social disconnection, topics that are all too real in modern days.
Four Black Lung is not your ordinary punk band; they are forging along with honest, emotional music that connects on a fundamental level with listeners. Their rendition of "I Don't Wanna Be An Asshole Anymore" demonstrates their ability to re-envision a much-loved song and hold on to their voice.
