Ingrates (https://www.facebook.com/Ingrates-110389511496921/) are the duo (Justin Jurgens & Nick Norrman) from Joshua Tree, California, who featured on here last December with their terrific debut single Don't Wanna Work (https://justsomepunksongs.blogspot.com/2021/12/ingrates-dont-wanna-work.html). It was a mash up of golden era punk rock with catchy as hell power pop and it impressed a lot of people.
Now they're back with a brand new single and this time around I'm hearing elements of 70's style glam rock added to the mix. Both singles show the band wearing their influences proudly on their sleeves but managing to sound fresh at the same time. Whereas last time out I was making comparisons with Los Pepes, Exploding Hearts & Tommy and the Commies on this single Kickin Down The Doors puts me in mind of The Clash, something along the lines of their excellent early b sides, whilst Learn To Love It is pure bovver boy rock, a glam stomp romp. 2 singles in and I'm very much looking forward to hearing more.
You can get it here :
This is Kickin Down The Doors...
Stuck in a rut and you don't know what to do
Down in the dumps cause they got the best of you
You're in a tight spot with your back against the wall
You started so big but now you're lookin so small
But in the end all you really wanna do is rock!
When the sun goes down and you're marching on down the block
When the knife of life is running you through BANG BANG!
Kickin' down the doors And There's only one thing you can do BANG BANG!
Kickin' down the doors When you're sick and tired of hangin around BANG BANG!
Kickin' down the doors You can bet you're gonna wanna kick it down BANG BANG!
Kickin' down the doors
There's times in life when you jump and hit your head
These stale times can lead you to regret
And when you don't know how to get through
You gotta be the law and do what you can do
But in the end all you really wanna do it split!
When the sun goes down and you're just so sick of it
When the knife of life is running you through
BANG BANG! Kickin' down the doors
And There's only one thing you can do
BANG BANG! Kickin' down the doors
When you're sick and tired of hangin around
BANG BANG! Kickin' down the doors
You can bet you're gonna wanna kick it down
BANG BANG! Kickin' down the doors
