😄 fat dog / king of the slugs review
who doesn’t want to be king of the slugs?

got such a bop for you this week. it’s balls to the wall nuts, and i’ve been looking forward to sharing it with you all for ages actually, partly because i really like the name, who doesn’t want to be king of the slugs? but also because it’s 7 minutes of pure madness and every second of it is dripping with energy and wild wild tone that makes it cut it’s way through the noise, before going on to make it’s own noise for shits and giggles. this weeks track is king of the slugs by bad dog and it rules.
the opening riff in this is a masterclass for how to set a song off right. the massive sounding synth, the groovy deep bass, the dancy drum beat, each piece of this is bringing something unique and madly intense to this song that frankly could each stand on it’s own, but doesn’t feel the need to. instead, fuck it we ball let’s go big. and this song does not at any point chill out from that initial big moment, even towards the end where the bridge around the 4 minute mark is just a fake out, layering in one of the most knarly polka esque almost basque sounding tunes i’ve heard in a song and not being afraid to jsut go for it. i can tell you right now that if i heard this song live it would be an absolute ruckus, and it’d rule.
honestly, i really can’t find anything i didn’t like about this. sorry, i guess that’s a bit cheap, but this song bangs and if you want to get heated with it then you’ll be real happy about it.
i can’t explain it but this song is crystal meth version of
okay, so, i had a whole bit here planned out that was this song is the crystal meth version of this one song that i’ve spent 45 minutes trying to find, and i can’t find anywhere. it’s an english like, pub song from the. 90s? 80s? and it’s bit is it does what this song does where it gets faster and faster, well basically i can’t find that song at all, so imagine this joke was really funny and please be on with your day thank you.
this band is reminding me heavily of the band yonaka, who are also super cool and do a lot of the cool crusty fuzzy dramatic indie rock this band does. they’re maybe a bit more poppy, but still really good.
this is a debut song what the hell. well, when that upload button is finally fired and another track makes it’s way up i will be seated, eager and ready.
