6/02 TOTW - Dude, Benson Is Gonna Be Pissed by Thoughts on Bowling
“Dude, Benson Is Gonna Be Pissed” is the kind of Midwest emo track that punches you right in the nostalgia while dragging your feelings out into the daylight. It’s everything you want from the genre—twinkly riffs, raw vocals, and that perfect balance of angst and heart—but with an unexpected emotional gut-punch thanks to the sampled dialogue from The Regular Show. The use of Benson’s voice isn’t just a quirky title reference—it works. It lands. It hurts, in the best way.
Thoughts on Bowling are clearly students of the genre, but they’re not afraid to push it forward. The track feels earnest and unfiltered, like the kind of song you'd scream in a friend’s basement at 2AM, surrounded by people who get it. Keep your eyes on these guys—because if this track is any indication, they’re just getting started.
