The song explores the complicated and contradictory feelings associated with a short-lived and poorly conceived polyamorous relationship.

Belgian pop punkers Jerk Beefy have been putting out great pop-punk tunes since they formed in 2018, with a shared love of all things Green Day, Blink 182 and Offspring. If you share the band’s love for all things fast, melodic and full of fun energy, then you should check out their new single ‘Overdose‘. It’s a catchy, uptempo number that will make you think it’s 1999 all over again.
