Moot (https://www.facebook.com/mootbook) are from Forster, New South Wales and feature a line up of Ross Dreise (vocals), John Walker (guitars), Shane Dalton (bass) and Benjamin Copland (drums). They're "an high energy rock n roll band" and they released a debut ep on Riot Records last year titled Cultural Treason.
The 4th of June will see the release of ep number 2 (or debut mini album?). Titled Loathing, Self And Others, it contains 7 tracks and they describe it thus; "A little more reflective but no less uncompromising than past work, the music drips with sarcasm and rages at hypocrisy." Topics covered include one (Bot Farm) which I see a lot of in the Facebook group New Punk Rock Music which I set up, namely scammers asking bands to send their music so that they can play them to their 'massive audience' (all for a price!). Elsewhere they sing about those amongst us that are easily led ("My God's better than yours, science is a hoax, I need a bigger truck, the virus is in the past" etc etc etc). They also sarcastically suggest World War 3 will solve a lot of problems and discuss growing old and trolling.
If you don't want to wait till June, it's already streaming here : https://theincrediblemoot.bandcamp.com/album/loathing-self-and-others
Today sees the release of a single which is the first track on the ep. It's about how from little things big things come and I'm sure I'm not the first person who draws similarities between Ross' vocals and those of the legendary Jello Biafra. It's called Patient One...
Patient one patient one
Corona central look what I've done
Patient one patient one
Corona central what have I done ?
From little things big things come
The butterfly effect brings the world undone
Shoot a prince , start world war one
Eat some bat soup in Wuhan
Exxon Valdez hits the rocks
Abandoned to spill out its guts
Union Carbide makes pesticide
Thousands killed with cyanide
Drugs for baby , family pride
Deformed for life from thalidomide
Cheaper power for the masses
Poisoned water from coal seam gases
Great stuff Mick!
ReplyDeleteI saw Moot play on the NSW Central Coast last night. Fun and topical.
