The whole thing, Josh Grier says, was the drummer’s fault. The members of Minneapolis- based Tapes ‘N Tapes were drinking beers, talking about the last time they saw a quarterback get fully pummeled in a football game—not just taken down, but full-on, kick-your-chin-through-the-back-of-your-head obliterated—when percussionist Jeremy Hanson said it: “When that happens, you just gotta walk it off.” Maybe it was the Pabst, but that line sounded like it meant something. “We all stopped because, in a way, that’s what our album’s about,” says Grier, “When you get beat down, you have to pick up and move on. You just have to walk it off.”
There are really only two kinds of walking. There’s the kind you do because you’re going somewhere, and there’s the kind you do because you just have to keep going. Because if you stop, you’ll never get started again. Tapes ‘N Tapes’ second record is about the second kind of walking, the one you do when what’s on your mind lately is credit card debt and lost jobs and wearing a shirt that’s two sizes too small and yelling at the best people you know for reasons you don’t understand and mostly feeling like giving up but still moving forward anyway. That kind of walking, it’s like fighting for something.
