The first taste of Peter, Bjorn & John’s upcoming album Gimme Some is short, fast & aggressive. I hope all the songs on the record are like this, though even 2009′s Living Thing was meaner than you’d expect from the band. Sample line from “Breaker Breaker”: “Before you break my heart… I’m gonna break your nose and sing about it.” According to a band interview in Spin, John Ericksson wrote the song about a music journalist he doesn’t like. The video is a very basic performance clip, but it’s hard to get out an elaborate concept in under two minutes. Watch:

Woohoo! Totally dig it. So excited for some new PB&J songs, and I like the direction if this is any indication.
It sounds like The Jam.
Not bad I guess, I dont have an urge to repeat it though.
I love PBNJ
