I thought it was a Thompson Twins song 🤔

Chair... lifts their song to the victory (sorry not in mental capacity for pithy closing sentences)

Bruises 11-4

I have some nostalgia for Our Truth because I played it on guitar hero a lot back in the day, but now it just reminds me of all the music people listened to in high school that I didn't like. Bruises was fine and gets my vote, but there are several songs losing in this round that would have beat either of these.

Not sure either deserves to make it to the 2nd round considering far superior tracks won't be, but it is what it is. Cute indie pop song for the win

Not too crazy about either. Chairlift song was catchy, Lacuna Coil had some great riffs, but ultimately I don't like either much. Think I'll go for Bruises in the end

That Lacuna Coil song is easily the worst song in this tournament. Just dreadful. Did they lose a bet?

I remember liking the Chairlift song when it came out but I couldn't recall the name of the band when I did my noms. Now I can hear it again I still like but not quite as much as before. I almost nominated Young Folks by Peter, Bjorn and John, which is of a similar ilk and I think a slightly more interesting song.

The Lacuna Coil track is less my thing but I could dig the riffage at least. I'll still have to go with Chairlift though.

What can I say? I love Lacuna Coil and Our Truth is my favorite cut of theirs.
Chairlift was pretty cool though.

lol. LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the picture! Brings back memories! 😄

I just love that single (Bruises). Just super cute. But completely agree otherwise- never made it through the entire album. Need to check out lacuna coil.

Yeah Chairlift sounded like a lot of those bands in the late 00s/early 10's that managed to have a really catchy song that could grow a lot of internet buzz, but listening to an entire album was a chore. The song itself is cute enough but perhaps now for fucks sake I'm just sick of the 80s revival (now a good, what, 15 years in?) so not so much against the song but at this point... let's mercy kill the reagan/thatcher years already. On the other hand, while it may sound a bit cheesy these days obv I have a lot of nostalgic love for Lacuna Coil and their more melodic, song-based approach to atmospheric euro-style metal, not the song I would've chosen but I still like it, and enough to get my vote here.
