I see thugs every day.
Like my students who get “misunderstood” tattooed on their forearm. Or “laugh now, cry later” on their
biceps. And you have to love the ubiquitous
angel tattoo on the neck (with someone’s birth/death dates, of course). These are my students. I don’t judge. I have tattoos too. But I know some of these kids live the real
thug life. Hell, I’ve even had a few
offer to beat people up for me or get me some stolen goods. This isn’t that type of thug, although there
is a certain sense of brutality to some of their sounds. It’s another Australian gem. Everything I’ve read about this band (which
is not all that much) seems to mention the same three bands as points of
comparison. Let’s just say that seem
extra Lay Zee. And I should know since
I’m quite a lazy sod these days. If you
want to know who those three bands are I suppose you can let your fingers do
the walking and find out on your own. I think
it’s better even yet to just give it a listen.
And I don’t really think any of those comparisons are that accurate
anyways. People, how many things
actually sound like Captain Beefheart?
