| Yawning Dog - Don't Be Shy, Vlad |
Stoner Grunge Punky Monkeys.
That's how Yawning Dog describe themselves on Facebook and, as far as self
descriptions go, this is pretty enticing to me. The enticement lead me to
discover that these Yorkshire lads have a song by the name of 'Don't Be Shy,
Vlad' which deserves some attention from all of us. The two and a half minute beast
starts with some channelled distortion and then a riff kicks in that is part
Nirvana, part Mudhoney and part early Biffy Clyro. Grunge with a groove, if you
will, but also with maniacally distorted vocals and drums that could just as
well b found propping up a Weezer tune on a Friday night. This is pretty tasty
stuff and, yes, stoner grunge punky monkeys is probably as accurate a description
as you can get for this brand of messy, shambolic but utterly delicious
distorto-pop.
