Joe Kenkel’s “FBP” is weird, earnest indie music at its finest

 Let’s get real for just a second- "FBP" is a weird song. But don’t let that deter you- this is definitely my favorite weird song of 2018. "FBP" stands for Football Poet- at least that’s the main lyrical hook in the song. I’d like to ask singer-songwriter Joe Kenkel what exactly that means, seeing as football and poetry couldn’t be more unrelated, but let’s look to the lyrics for clues, shall we? "Breakin’ my bones / singin’ for you" gives some indication that perhaps there is a sense of beauty in football, or that there’s something poetic about a tackle? Clearly all of this is part of a grand scheme to impress a lover, but for what reason… I’ll let you decide. Kenkel even animated a trippy music video for the song, which you can watch here. Enough speculating on my part- this is weird, earnest indie rock at it’s finest. –Geena Kloeppel
