20 SECONDS

It’s a high-energy short tune of about a minute that gives you a boost every time you listen.

The sound is packed with the driving momentum unique to ska punk—so cool.

The lyrics capture a young person’s anxiety: “There’s so much I want to do, but not enough time,” which is instantly relatable.

It’s included on the album “14 -Fourteen-,” released in January 2011.

Perfect when you want to deliver a message that hits home in a short time, or to wrap up a karaoke session when you’re short on time.

When it comes to ska bands at the forefront of today’s rock scene, HEY-SMITH—formed in Osaka—surely stands out.
