When it comes to both music and beer, I am all about the seasonal releases! So this will not be the last review of a Halloween-themed release I write this year. I've always thought of the fall as "Vista Blue season." And even though I'm not a big horror movie guy, I consider this band's annual Halloween releases to be an indispensable tradition in my life. If Vista Blue ever ceased to exist, they might as well cancel Halloween and Christmas. The new single "I Didn't Get Invited to the Halloween Party" is an absolute winner. First of all, how insane is that cover art? That's a party you would not want to miss! I appreciate that this is both a song about Halloween
and a love song. Musically, this is hitting me just where I want it. It's punky power pop with old school rock 'n' roll harmonies, and it tells a relatable story. Who
wouldn't be bummed about not getting invited to the Halloween party? That's a party that even I would attend! Mike and Mark really crushed it with this track. It's another hit from a band that someday may surpass Pete Rose. Exclusive to Bandcamp, the virtual B-side is a cover of "This Is the Night" from the 1985 animated special
Garfield's Halloween Adventure. What's not to love? If you stock up on candy and buy this single, you've got your own Halloween party ready to go!
