Fireworks Stream B-Side From ‘Oh, Common Life’

April 3rd, 2014

Michigan’s resident pop punk heroes Fireworks released their third album, Oh, Common Life last week, and it has been a big hit here at UTG and elsewhere. For fans who followed the album’s marketing campaign, however, something seemed to be missing from the album. The haunting song that appeared in an early teaser video did not make the final tracklist, but it did surface on a bonus EP sold along with Oh, Common Life at select independent record stores. Today, the band made the song, titled “Oh, Common Life,” available online, and you can stream it after the break.

The title track is decidedly more mellow than the bulk of Oh, Common Life, but it’s still a gem of a song that does an excellent job laying out the themes of the album, and I’ve already slotted it at the beginning of the tracklist in my iTunes library.
