Sooo, not a totally new band to Just Some Punk Songs, Mick played Mild Misogynist by these guys a few weeks back on the radio show, but this is their first blog entry, spurred on by a fantastic new single "ID'd At Aldi" and its brilliant video.
In the video The Baby Seals (https://www.facebook.com/thebabyseals) offer a visual shopping nightmare for the alpha male type, running around the supermarket filling their baskets with necessary feminine products (And wine, which is a necessary feminine product, and I won't entertain any argument to the contrary) And then they proceed on to lots of dancing (outside Aldi), trolley silliness (outside Aldi), and bits to camera (outside, you guessed it, Aldi).
The song itself is a dynamic little pop-punk number with it's titular refrain reminiscent of the Go-Go's, Bangles, and Pretenders when they were still bands rather than vocal groups. This is a total pop hook, with great guitars! It's softer than Mild Misogynist, but definitely not in a bad way.
It's an earworm, a reminder that punk isn't always super distorted guitars and shouting, and almost 3 minutes of pure brilliance. It'll feature on the band's new album Chaos which will be out on April 19th on vinyl (neon pink or red) cd & digital : https://thebabyseals.bandcamp.com/album/chaos
Wish I'd get ID'd at Aldi, I could use the ego boost!
