77 SPEARS - You Can't Dance to Metal

  

  For the 2nd day running, a band from the north of England who are kicking up a racket. 77 SPEARS (https://www.facebook.com/77spears) intriguingly describe their sound as a "collage of stoner riffs, Keith-Moon-on-speed drums, clanging bass, and barked vocals." It incorporates "elements of minimalism, post-punk, psych and pop are all filtered through the lens of 80s hardcore punk into short, sharp snapshots of modern DIY music." 

  They're a quartet who formed online during the pandemic and who had got themselves sorted out in time to release a couple of eps in 2022. They returned last month with two new songs, one of which you'll find below. They aren't very long songs, brevity seems to be at the heart of what they do. As is intensity. They crash into your consciousness, knock you around a bit then depart swiftly. You can check them out here : https://77spears.bandcamp.com/

  This is "a song to celebrate all those occasions where you’ve been told you can’t do something, but you’ve done it anyway. A song that embraces your love and passion regardless of the naysayers. A song that represents overcoming fear. A song to dance to." It's called You Can't Dance To Metal...

I have two left feet and the rhythm of a broken drum machine.
I’m falling over into a ditch of dead dancers from the past.
We keep on moving.
We don’t even know why.
Who said you can’t dance to metal?
Well, they fucking lied.
