Just Some Punk Songs' official Belgian correspondent Dirk Ceustermans returns today with something rather splendid...
Ero Guro - High Life (Yin Dang lp, Co-release with Ronny Rex, Belly Button Records and Drink & Drive Records, released December 14, 2020)
Quirky punk, does that count for a scene of bumbling bands that navigate their way through the difficulty of life they transform into music surely no one can nor wants to dance to.
Ero Guro (https://www.facebook.com/erogurodiest) are our very own Belgian masters of quirkIness, jerking their way thru tunes and words that explore the boundaries of sanity.
It is not the first time these lads from Diest, Belgium, are featured here, but I can't but showcase them again since this new release is just sublime.
I must say I had difficulty to choose a track from this beautiful release full of desperate singing clad with tunes that move me, move me to all corners of the mind and beyond.
I'll pick out the odd one out, perhaps. Don't let it scare you off to go through this record on Bandcamp!
High Life.
The spartan rhythm section that merge well with the spacy guitar sounds and screaming voice.
Yelling out:
HIGH LIFE
FEATURES
HIGH LIFE
WE COULD ALL LEARN A THING
SELF INDULGING
BUILDING TRUST ALL CAPITALIZED
FORM AN ENERGY THATS OSTRACIZED
NAKED CHICKS ARENT PURE
NAKED CHICKS IN PURE WHITE SNEAKERS
(NAKED FORTRESS?)
I AM ON A SOUL BINGE
NOW SEX IS OVERRATED
LIPS ARE SWEATING
THE GIRLS ARE GETTING OLDER WHEN THE BOYS ONLY
HAVE COLD SHOULDERS
AND THE AUREOLAS GROW UNTIL THE SEX IS IN CONTROL
GENDER ROLES FORM FLUIDLY
WHEN MATING CALLS INDECENCY
AND HOTHEAD INDISCREPANCIES
CALL FORTH YOUR PAST FRIVOLITIES
The left (guitar) and right (bass) marches on to the final minute only to storm the last barricade of distaste, that is, if any of it is left.
Enjoy your day.
This is High Life...
