R.U.B - Good Bloke

 

  R.U.B are Soph (vocals/guitar), Dasha (guitar/vocals), Peri (bass) & Marc (drums), a punk quartet from Melbourne who featured on here in June of 2023 with a song I remember liking a lot :  https://justsomepunksongs.blogspot.com/2023/06/rub-good-for-me.html

  So I was happy to hear that they've a new release on the way. It's a split 7" with Backhand, a band from Sydney who I also covered last year https://justsomepunksongs.blogspot.com/2023/01/backhand-are-chains-really-off.html and who featured on a recent Just Some Punk Songs show with a track from their latest ep, Anger Sick (https://backhandshc.bandcamp.com/album/anger-sick).

  The track below (you can find it on Bandcamp https://rub-punk.bandcamp.com/track/good-bloke) sees R.U.B "laying waste to the toxic culture that we see in so called Australia around men’s violence." It proves my initial feelings about the band were right, they're bloody good.

  It's called Good Bloke...

  

awwwww YEAH!

how many times must a man tell me that he's a "good bloke"
how many times must a man tell me nahh, he's a "good bloke"

TALK IS CHEAP
in a world where nothing's free
you shouldn't need to be
convincing me
how many times must a man tell me that he's a "good bloke"

how many times must a man tell me "everyone's too woke"
how many times must a man tell me that I should take a joke??

TALK IS CHEAP
in a world where nothing's free
you shouldn't need to be
convincing me
how many times must a man tell me that he's a "good bloke"

how many times must I read that he was a footy star
how many times must I read that he was a "loving father"

TALK IS CHEAP
in a world where nothing's free
you shouldn't need to be
convincing me

how many times must a man tell me that he's a "good bloke"
how many times must a man tell me that he's a "good bloke"
how many times must a man tell me that he's a "good bloke"
how many times must a man tell me that he's a "good bloke"
