Though a tad edgier than before, Salazar's songs were largely in the vein of Fenix TX's previous material, featuring at times comical, romantic and generally positive themes, combined with the band's traditional sound. Lewis' and DeLaPaz' songs, on the other hand, were musically far more metal and hardcore-influenced and commonly featured gang vocals and more aggressive lyrics. While songs such as "Something Bad Is Gonna Happen" stand out with a very crisp lead guitar sound and a high-pitched guitar solo by James Love, "Beating a Dead Horse" (the only Fenix TX song primarily sung by Adam Lewis) contains screamed vocals and an overall hardcore feel. Due to this stylistic disparity, Lechuza was not as well received by fans and critics as Fenix TX. In particular, the band's attempt at composing a hardcore song ("Beating a Dead Horse") elicited a great amount of criticism.

This song exhibits a nu metal style in place of their crunkcore style heard on Beating a Dead Horse.

A likely and documented explanation is that the term is derived from the "dead horse" ritual of seamen (see Beating a dead horse). In this practice, the seaman paraded a straw- stuffed effigy of a horse around the deck before throwing it overboard. Seamen were paid partly in advance before a long voyage, and they frequently spent their pay all at once, resulting in a period of time without income. If they got advances from the ship's paymaster, they would incur debt.

A man sitting on a dead horse in Sheboygan, Wisconsin. The idiom comes from the fact that flogging a horse in this condition (dead or dying) would not cause it to move or anything otherwise worthwhile to happen. Flogging a dead horse (alternatively beating a dead horse; or beating a dead dog in some parts of the Anglophone world) is an idiom that means a particular effort is a waste of time as there will be no outcome, such as in the example of flogging a dead horse, which will not cause it to do any useful work.

The song was released on the deluxe reissue of Fearless Records' compilation album Punk Goes Christmas. This is the second song recorded by Alonge that was not featured on Beating a Dead Horse. Another song, a pop punk-themed medley titled "All the Old Things" was released on January 29, 2016.

Space Zombies is the first EP by YouTube comedian Jarrod Alonge, released under the moniker of his fictitious metalcore band Amidst the Grave's Demons on June 17, 2016. The album's title is a reference to the Zombie and Space EPs by The Devil Wears Prada. Unlike Alonge's previous albums that focused primarily on satirizing musical tropes, Space Zombies directly parodies the bands The Devil Wears Prada, A Day to Remember, Architects, and For Today. In addition to the band parodies, the EP also features an acoustic version of the song "The Swimmer" from Beating a Dead Horse, with the original song being a parody of the band Memphis May Fire.

The band was first conceived in July 2013 in Jarrod Alonge's "Every Metalcore Vocalist" video, before releasing two songs in late 2013 and 2014: a demo version of "I'm So Scene" and a 10-hour instrumental breakdown loop titled "Eternity (Literally)". "I'm So Scene" featured unclean vocals by YouTuber Sky Sevart, and was composed by Alonge and his friends Benjamin Fleet and Blake Feagans, who used to play in a band called Ukulele and the Sock Monkeys. Alonge produced both tracks. On June 1, 2016, Alonge announced that Amidst the Grave's Demons would be releasing a five-song EP later in the month, featuring four band-specific parodies and an acoustic version of a track from Beating a Dead Horse.

Similarly to Alonge's previous album Beating a Dead Horse, Friendville was produced using revenue generated from an Indiegogo crowdfunding campaign that encompassed the month of February 2016. The initial aim was to raise $10,000 in order to fund a Sunrise Skater Kids EP, with a secondary aim of raising $20,000 in order to fund a full-length album should the campaign become overfunded. These targets were both massively surpassed with total funds reaching over $28,000 towards the end of the campaign, which opened up the possibility of Sunrise Skater Kids going on tour to promote the full-length album. Alonge had already recorded an album's worth of material before the fundraiser had ended, stating that this was a "gamble" on his part as he was unsure of whether the album would be funded enough to allow for this.

Paul Tambyah and Chee Soon Juan responded to PAP's statement issued the previous day; Tambyah said that PAP's comments were "a sign of desperation" and that it showed that PAP had "run out of ideas" and "resorted to the old PAP tactics of just politics of personal destruction", while Chee said PAP was "beating a dead horse". Nevertheless, the two SDP leaders said that it was time for the election campaign to move on from the dispute. In addition, the Association of Women for Action and Research criticised PAP's statement to SDP the previous day as PAP had used an analogy involving spousal abuse to make a point. Both SDP and PV's Facebook pages, as well as several other Facebook pages belonging to others, were issued correction directions by the alternate authority of the Protection from Online Falsehoods and Manipulation Act Office over the claim of plans for a population target of 10 million for Singapore.
