Release Date: 20th January 2017
On top of being one of the
coolest named places on the planet, Phoenix, Arizona, is also responsible for
spawning quite a few top notch bands with the excellently named Playboy Manbaby
being the latest. The band’s latest single features two marvellously entitled
songs, the first of which is ‘You Can Be A Fascist Too’ and it’s two and a half
minutes of in your face, rip-snorting garage punk featuring the kind of freak
out saxophone that sets your teeth on edge. This is delivered like a mix of the
Stooges, the Fall, Queens of The Stone Age and Liam Lynch with a gang mentality
and the kind of anger that comes with a sense of injustice. The B-side, if such
a thing exists anymore, is ‘I’d Like To Meet Your Parents’ and it’s a Talking
Heads-esque slice of surburban deadendedness with a hint of Velcro Hooks about
it. There is something beautifully unhinged about Playboy Manbaby but don’t
make the mistake of thinking for one second that makes these guys anything but
focused and purposeful. Anger, social commentary and wigging out like the B52s
on a rainy day makes for a heady broth and I want another mouthful please. In
fact, just plug it in to my veins.
