Maybe you remember New Years Eve 2023. It was the 10th anniversary of Just Some Punk Songs and it was the day I first featured a song by York band Neon Kittens (https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100088163643448). I commented; "they're a band that are unlikely to ever be part of the mainstream, they very much dance to their own beat."
Well that sentiment is front and center of the opening track of the band's new album. These are the lyrics :
Don't even get me started on that
you might never get me to stop
don't get me started on that
oh boy, you'd better not
we are so underground
that it's insane
no one listens to us
no one knows our name
don't even say that to me
you know that just pisses me off
I'm looking through windows, opening doors
and now I just need to stop
we are so, underground
that it's just mad
gonna dig down deeper
than we ever have
It pretty much sums up what it's like being outside the mainstream and it's a fine start to a very fine album.
The album's titled It's a NO Thing! It's 14 tracks of spoken word quirkiness and it's available from Metal Postcard Records...
Hopefully songs like this will lead to at least a few more people knowing their name, this is Don't Get Me Started...
