Wendy’s rockin’ new album makes it feel like the late ’90s/early 00’s again

Wendy’s new emo rock album, Songs to Listen to in a Wendy’s Parking Lot is probably my favorite fast food promo project since the anime-styled “choose your own adventure”/dating simulator game I Love You Colonel Sanders.

With songs produced by Matt Squire (credits include Panic! at the Disco, 3oh!3, All Time Low, Simple Plan and Sum 41) and featuring the following artists…

• Matty Mullins of Memphis May Fire and Anberlin
• Chloe Kinnon of Winona Fighter
• Shane Told of Silverstein
• Beau Bokan of Blessthefall, Derek DiScanio of State Champs
• Kat Leon of Holy Wars

…it’s a fun listen, and even more fun because of silly Wendy’s-related lyrics like:

• “Always fresh, never frozen,”
• “Square burgers saved my soul”
• “It’s not a phase, It’s a 10-piece.”
• “Great together, like Frosty and fries,”
• “Dipped fries, a salty sweet goodbye”
• “My Frosty’s funeral.”

Alas, I haven’t found any lyrics about the chili yet.

Anyway, the album’s a better and more fun listen than I expected. Check it out!
