Trapped in the 9-to-5 Loop? Desk Job’s A.F.T. Screams Everything You’re Too Tired to Say

Kyle Grandillo, the mastermind behind this project, is practically screaming for all of us. His voice stretches into high notes, then drops back down, giving a brief respite before ripping through the silence again with “Another Fucking Day!” He pushes to the breaking point, then suddenly winks as if to say it’s all fine. And it’s all wrapped in that distinctly American pop-punk sound—energizing, nerve-wracking, and somehow, by the end, even a little uplifting.

This track is perfect for kicking off a new workday, shaking things up, and breaking the dull shave, eat, office routine. There’s a biting irony to it—we sell half our lives, and then there’s no energy left for the other half.

Desk Job. proves that even in a short punk track, you can pack in the weight of our whole never-ending existence. A.F.T. hits right where we try to numb things down with gray coffee and endless deadline-filled calendars. It’s fun, sharp, and unapologetic—A.F.T. knows exactly how to throw fuel on the fire. Desk Job. is that moment when you realize there’s no way out, but if you’re going to burn, might as well do it with some damn energy. Check it out.
