The Finger Guns – $9.99 Quesadilla [Listen]

Tags

2018, band, Group, indie, Music, Musicians, punk, Review, Rock, Seattle, Single, The Finger Guns, USA

Seattle band The Finger Guns dropped a single called $9.99 Quesadilla.
The humorous track is both a truth and a metaphor: “The bottom line is that it is fricking ridiculous that a restaurant would charge that for something with two simple and cheap ingredients. The metaphor part is that we should all rise up against things that we see are wrong. Either way, never pay $10 for two tortillas and a handful of cheese.” Loyal to their vision and sound, The Finger Guns use amusing, clever imagery as a call to action, while keeping it relatable, fun and light.
Have a listen to the laughable song.

I’d give the track:
