Electropunk and pop coalesce on this cool and fun drop by The Transits. With its infectious energy and electrifying performances, ‘Living Dead For A Paycheck’ is a wholly engaging single ready to help release energy as you violently move along to its explosive beat and earworm of a chorus.
Based in Auckland, New Zealand, The Transits are Ryan Lunn, Dom Antelme, and Tyrone Smith. Together as The Transits, the trio are known for writing catchy and fun tunes, accompanied by creative and standout clips for those fun tunes, and ‘Living Dead For A Paycheck’ is a case in point.
With a premise that is fully presented in the song title, the song’s video shows office workers as zombies wanting to consume more fortunate members of society. Well, thanks, guys. The video is beautifully shot and colorized, full of humor, and with a lighthearted personality that goes very well with the rather upbeat and infectious song. ‘Living Dead For A Paycheck’ is punk-pop of the best strain. With memorable melodies, addictive riffs, a break-neck performance on the drums, and a tight, explosive mix keeping everything together, the song ends up a fulfilling and uplifting effort, even for this downtrodden office employee. A great effort.
‘Living Dead For A Paycheck’ is a ton of fun, which is exactly what a punk-pop song should go for. The Transits really delivered with this one.
