The song of the summer just arrived. Daisy Grenade and their new single “Hypocrite” is a pop-rock song that feels straight out of an early aughts coming-of-age comedy movie. “Dumb, dumb, you’re acting stupid/I don’t want, don’t want to do this/Done, done, done with your bullshit/Someone’s gotta tell you, so I guess I’ll do it/H-Y-P-O-C-R-I-T-E/You’re a hypocrite,” the duo sings over punk rock riffs.

A match made in heaven, this collab is everything you never knew your emo-punk-loving soul needed.… Read more »
