SONG: “Road Signs Always Look Better Looking Over Your Shoulder”

ARTIST: Defiance, Ohio

ALBUM: Share What Ya Got

WHY: Anytime the semester gets super stressful, this song gets put on repeat much more than I’d like to admit. Plus, I will never forget how cool I felt sending a concealed five-dollar bill through the mail to a DIY label in Bloomington, Ind. and getting Share What You Got in return a few weeks later, complete with a personalized “thank you” note. No, Plan-It-X records, thank YOU for providing the world with a song that pretty much sums up what it’s like to be a college student.
