Easy Out keep things simple with “Be Kind, Rewind,” a fast and catchy slice of SoCal punk rock with strong melodic skate punk roots. It’s the kind of song that grabs you right away, built on momentum, clean guitar lines, and a chorus that sticks without trying too hard.
Coming from Southern California, the band lean comfortably into a sound that values melody just as much as speed. The guitars move quickly but stay controlled, letting the hooks breathe while the rhythm section keeps everything driving forward. There’s no excess here, just tight songwriting and solid execution.
What really works about “Be Kind, Rewind” is how effortless it feels. The structure is straightforward, the energy stays consistent, and the chorus hits exactly where it should. It’s easy to picture this track blasting in a car, on a board, or at a small show where everyone knows the words by the second time through.
The title carries a clear sense of nostalgia, but the song never gets stuck in it. It uses familiar references as a backdrop rather than a crutch, keeping the focus on movement and melody instead of sentimentality.
Production stays clean without losing edge. Everything sounds sharp and present, but nothing is overly smoothed out. The track keeps its punk character intact while still sounding tight and well put together.
“Be Kind, Rewind” does exactly what it sets out to do. It’s fun, fast, and memorable, showing a band that understands how to write melodic punk songs that don’t overstay their welcome.
