TA-80 - "Roller Rink Days"


On its new single, Arizona's TA-80 is hitting all my sweet spots. Not only does "Roller Rink Days" mix up the perfect cocktail of punk, pop, and rock, but it also pays homage to the culture of roller rinks. Man, when I was a kid, there was literally no place better to be than the roller rink. You had skating, killer tunes, arcade games, snacks, and quality time with your friends under the glow of ultraviolet light. So yeah,  "Roller Rink Days" is giving me all the feels. It's fun and anthemic like any TA-80 song, and the music video is an absolute hoot. The band's new album Open Late will be out next month, so make sure you are ready to rock. Y'all can loiter by the Space Invaders machine all day as far as I'm concerned!
