Punchline is a band with a sense of humor, as the
name implies.
Some humor can be seen in song titles. "Coyotes
In B Major" on Delightfully Pleased is an interesting thought, but
then on the next album (Politefully Dead) to have a song called
"Coyotes in B Arthur", that builds on the first off kilter thought and
adds punning.
That being said, they often achieve a sincere
emotion on tracks. "Universe" feels very real, and essentially plays
it straight. "No Significant Other" is very relatable, but the title
gives you an interesting way of looking at it.
The band has a lot of material so there is a lot to
listen to. It probably makes sense to start with their 2015 release Thrilled,
but I also appreciated the tighter focus on their EPs.
