the SUCK - J Prozac On A BMX Bike

  


  the SUCK (https://www.facebook.com/StreetRockSUCK/) are a band that no one knows much about but who cares about details when they release such great music. They describe their sound as no bullshit street rock for fans of the Ramones, HEAD, The Vapids and NECK. They released a ST ep in 2018 and followed it up a year later with an album titled In-Cog-Neat-O                                                                (check 'em out here :   https://thesuckstreetrock.bandcamp.com/). 

  Now they're back with sophomore album, Boris Sprinkler (Boris The Sprinkler being the Green Bay, Wisconsin, punks who released a 1998 album titled Suck). It's 10 tracks of catchy as fuck pop punk. They sing about stuff like martini drinking secret agents, drinking, Dungeons and Dragons, 20 sided dice and... more drinking. Their influences are front and centre, it's fun, irreverent and you can find the various coloured vinyl versions over at Mom's Basement Records   https://momsbasementrecords.bigcartel.com/ 


  This is the closing track on the album and the most melodic. I'll be playing it on this week's Just Some Punk Songs show (Sunday 8pm UK time : https://www.facebook.com/events/118448970218498/) Possibly the biggest pop punk earworm of the year and namechecking one of the genre's nicest guys, this is J Prozac On A BMX Bike...
