The Incurables “Stop The World”

Kai Danzberg “(Not) The Kind OF Guy”

Big Stir Records

These two singles, both of which benefit Ukraine, are very good examples of today’s pop/rock, and each is very different from the other.

The Incurables are from Detroit. “Stop the World” sounds like the Ramones with “My Brain Is Hanging Upside-Down (Bonzo Goes To Bitburg),” and rocks just as hard. Like the Ramones song it protests horrible situations – the former the devastation of Ukraine, the latter Ronald Reagan’s visit to a German cemetery where Nazis are buried. Both are powerful statements, but the Incurables get the edge, because their song is even more heartfelt.

Kai’s song, which is also very good, is a cross between Elliott Smith’s “Baby Briton” and Todd Rundgren. It’s about resisting sexual temptation, and in the end not being able to.

The money raised by the sales of these singles is for the most important cause around today, so please consider donating by buying these songs. You’ll also be happy, because you’re getting some great music. https://www.bigstirrecords.com/united-help-ukraine-benefit-store
