Ten Kills The Pack’s strength as a songwriter is a result of his acute awareness. His music allows us to view genuine human experiences through an unfiltered and impartial view. His material says self-pity and self-destructive tendencies only prove your humanness; that happiness and sadness are two sides of the same coin and that healing takes time. Instead of focusing on the grandiose, he shines a spotlight on the granular, taking pause to celebrate those small moments. The unglamorous is interesting because it’s relatable.
It’s for this reason that Sean Sroka proves his title as modern poet. His art finds the common thread in our struggle, and forces us to take pause and appreciate that even if what you are feeling is utter shit, at least you are feeling something.
