SINGLE REVIEW: The Haymakers - Get Me to Friday
It seems fitting to be writing about 'Get Me to Friday' two hours before I’ve even started work on a Monday, already longing for the weekend. The Haymakers have nailed that universal sense of weekday drudgery, with their track flipping between a plea and a demand to fast-forward to Friday. It’s not just a song about clock-watching; it’s an invitation to let go, rock out, and reset when the weekend finally arrives.
The song radiates DIY garage charm with a raw punk edge, but it’s the soulful, smooth vocals that bring a surprising twist—channelling a hint of Motown amid the grit. As the groove twists and bends, it pulls in funky shapes that are hypnotic and ridiculously danceable. The infectious guitars weave through resonant drums, and together, they craft a sound that feels alive with rebellion and rhythm.
Whether you’re drowning in Monday blues or halfway through the week and counting down the hours, 'Get Me to Friday' captures that collective yearning for freedom, fun, and release. The Haymakers have delivered a killer tune, perfect for keeping spirits high as you push through to the end of the week.
