Game On

For a good time, call the James Barker Band. The Ontario four-piece serves up feel-good party anthems that mix country twang, pop-rock energy, and IDGAF attitude. “Living the Dream” is a chest-puffing tune about keg stands and parking lot fights, and “Lawn Chair Lazy” is a simple ode to summer days spent boozing by the pool (“It's the party of the year/Sitting right here/Somebody hand me a beer, beer, beer”).
