“it’s not fair!” is an invigorating track from Nervous Boyfriend, a Portland, OR-based band excelling in a tonally climactic and emotional rock sound. Angst-y, title-referencing vocal soaring stirs in its evident emotion and twanging guitar undercurrent, contrasting with the debonair “screaming into the wind,” verses that exude an identity-searching quest — melding seamlessly into the “it’s not fair!” melodic griping.
“When’s it gonna be my turn?” the vocals envelop further at mid-point, channeling a relatable frustration as comparisons to peers and personal frustrations bubble to the surface. “it’s not fair!” is a thrilling rock success from Nervous Boyfriend.
