Track of the Week: Devon Kay & The Solutions “Frustrated People of the World, Unite!” (2021)

Devon Kay & The Solutions

With a single due every month, it was only a matter of time before Chicago’s Devon Kay & The Solutions popped up as one of our Tracks of the Week. After teaming with Less Than Jake‘s Chris DeMakes for a cover of “Big“, the six-piece needed a cracking follow up. “Frustrated People of the World, Unite!” is just that.

“Frustrated People of the World, Unite!” is their third release in as many months, and true to form, it’s a genre-bending mix of indie, power pop, and a little bit of ska for good measure.

“It’s stupid but sometimes you gotta write what you know,” singer/guitarist Devon says. “From the constant scorn of automated telephone services, running out of things to watch and having to think of all the bad choices I’ve made given the live music industry shutting down I’d say I’m the most frustrated I’ve ever been.”
