2 Sick Monkeys - These Are The Things That Don't Seem Like Fun To Me

 

  Fred and Pete are the Swindon based duo better known as 2 Sick Monkeys who appeared on here a couple of years ago (https://justsomepunksongs.blogspot.com/2016/08/2-sick-monkeys-happy-days.html) and who return today with a belting song that suggests new album Into Oblivion is going to be well worth watching out for. It's due out on September 7th and I'm guessing it'll turn up on their Bandcamp page but whilst we wait for it, you can grab today's song and a second one "name your price" here :  https://2sickmonkeys.bandcamp.com/album/album-teasers-into-oblivion The album will be available on double 12" vinyl and cd through a bunch of labels (Antipop Records, Back From The Dead Records, Deadlamb Records, One Step Outside Records, Pumpkin Records, Shatterpunk Records, Smegma Records, Uncomfortable Beach Party and Urinal Vinyl).

  Now for the bad news, it looks as though it'll be their last album as just like another top notch UK band, Revenge Of The Psychotronic Man, they'll be calling it a day at the end of the year. Their last few live dates culminate in a final gig  in Swindon on December 16th and though tickets are going fast you might just be able to get some here : http://www.2sickmonkeys.com/

  The song below features vocals (and lyrics) by Ed Ache (Casual Nausea, Minor Discomfort Band, ICH). It lists loads of different things but unlike them, this IS fun! It's called These Are The Things That Don't Seem Like Fun To Me... 

Skateboarding, street louge 
Potholing, Tattoos
Body mods + motor bikes
Taking drugs @ great heights
Dog fighting, self harm
Sunbeds, rocket cars
Base jumping, crap TV
Hair dying, Home surgery

Heroine, colonic irrigation
Cave diving, white water rafting
Cage fighting, destruction derby
Bug chasing, joining the army...

These are the things that don't seem like fun to me.

Big brother, anal sex
Joy riding, homelessness
Facebook, thai massage
Riots, Linux, squatting theme parks
Glory holes + guinea pigs
Curb crawling, little kids

These are the things that don't seem like fun to me

These are the things that don't seem like fun to me

Gymnasiums, Starbucks
Bunsen burners, gun clubs
Jogging, having 15 kids
