"That push-and-pull, that post-adolescent rage and confusion, reverberates throughout Cheer Up. “Tired of the life I know / Raining with no rainbow” sings Balistreri on “Chancin’ In.” It’s a song that laments life’s “ebbs and flows” and the drudgery of “[driving] to another show,” but cloaks it all in a head-bopping barn-burner that grows more manic as it goes along. The title track is even more direct: “Do you wanna die? So do I” Balistreri croons, before offering a resigned “cheer up, everything is fine” capper." - Milwaukee Record

lyrics

Chubby little second grade pre-teen in school on the north side of Milwaukee
fifth graders found me ripe to tease
fifth graders found me easy

Called me over to the evergreen they said they had to warn me secretly
Jeffrey Dahmer lives right down the street
Told me I was just plump enough to eat

Now I’m terrified Jeffery will come and get me
Terrified Jeffrey’s a little hungry

Get off the school bus I’m all alone
Open the door but there’s no one home
I rush to turn on every light we own
Scared to have the meat sucked from my bones

I asked my mom if Jeff was real
She said “no honey, cheer up, you ain’t no meal”
But that didn’t chase off all my fears
Cuz hey here’s me after all these years

I’m terrified Jeffrey will come and get me
Terrified Jeffrey’s a little hungry for me

You're Better Than This

This album fucks as hard as dripping and magic but imo feels the most personal and emotional release of the three. It’s weird and frantic but hits this really interesting balance. jude

by teen suicide

supported by 4 fans who also own “JD & Me”

When I was trying to find new music in 2017 I came across "Teen Suicide". Teen Suicide's music was always on my headphones, whether it was at school, or going out for a night drive. Their music being so relatable and melancholy but also very upbeat was something that I needed, especially since I listen to a lot of slow paced soft music. vampswag
