Italy’s Slang Poor Kids come in fast and loud on “Goddamn Depressed,” a high-energy punk track built for packed rooms and moshing fans. From the first seconds, punchy drums drive the tempo forward, setting a relentless pace that never lets up.
The band delivers in pure punk fashion. Heavy distorted guitars stack into a wall of sound while the vocals push through with speed, attitude, and sharp rhythmic delivery. Despite being based in Italy, the vocalist performs in English, and the phrasing feels natural and immediate, giving the song a universal punch.
The chorus is the knockout moment. When they shout “I’ve been so goddamn depressed, I need a friend,” it hits with raw honesty and instant memorability. It’s the kind of line that crowds will be yelling back at the band, turning personal struggle into something communal and loud.
Everything about “Goddamn Depressed” feels built for the live setting. The fast tempo, driving rhythm, and thick guitars make it an ideal mosh song, the kind that turns small venues into chaotic, sweaty sing-alongs.
Slang Poor Kids deliver exactly what great punk should feel like. Fast, honest, and impossible to ignore.
