Girl at the Rock Shows

Did you have a weird obsession while growing up? I did, and it was the Titanic. I was obsessed, and although I didn’t know there was a second VHS tape (yes, I’m that old) of the Hollywood movie until college, it was because my dad didn’t want me to see a bunch of frozen bodies; I was obsessed. I knew everything. I knew the timing of every tragic event. I knew the names, the lore, the menu, the music, everything. It’s been a long time since I’ve thought back to this obsession, but it all came flooding (no pun intended) back to me as soon as Nowhere Dept.’s new song came across my desk.

This song is about Charles Joughin, who supposedly survived the Titanic tragedy by drinking a handle of whiskey, which, in turn, kept him warm enough to survive the frigid waters. Whether that’s true or not (I believe it is), this song paints a picture of what he might have been thinking and lets you see the story from his perspective in a brilliant way. Beyond the genius storytelling, there’s an infectious folk-punk vibe that will absolutely catch you and have you falling in love with Nowhere Dept. one note at a time.
