The Scuts are a punk band from London who formed in 2013 and are influenced by the American punk scene of the 80's & 90's (NOFX, Bad Religion, Pennywise, Lagwagon, No Use For A Name etc...).
A few months ago they released a split ep with fellow Londoners Scrotum Clamp and one of the songs in particular caught my ear. It's an all to topical look at life through the eyes of an easily led bigot. Someone who wants to smash up Greggs to protect our streets. All in the name of St George. I couldn't find the song on Youtube so I thought I'd rectify the situation. It's also available on Bandcamp :
One thing that stands out about them for me is their carefully thought out lyrics. Their new album, Things that Cannot Be Unseen, bears ample testament to this. Just one example being closing track, Shamima, in which they tackle a divisive subject and put forward a compelling case about how maybe we shouldn't be too harshly judged by the mistakes we made when we were still a child. Agree or disagree with them, they tackle a thorny topic eruditely.
(The song is an album highlight and I was going to feature it here but the free version of the Youtube movie maker I use won't let me convert songs over 5 minutes long. Happily there's plenty more great songs on the album so I've chosen another and I'll settle for playing Shamima on this week's show).
The early days of the internet were hailed by many, who talked about the democratisation of news; that we'd no longer just be able to hear the words of governments or corporations – everyone would have an outlet to be able to share their thoughts to the world. These days, the reality is more of a dystopian nightmare, rather than the utopia many had imagined. In this new online world, it has become difficult to even be able to differentiate facts from lies. When everybody has access to everything anybody says, and it can all look equally legitimate, how are you supposed to know the motivation of those who are behind the stories that are spread? It has created a platform for psychopaths and fanatics which is far more effective and wide-reaching than any which has ever existed before. A great many people now rely on social media as their primary source of news about the world. This is an environment in which deliberate disinformation is rife, and hate speech is normalised. Self-appointed sleuths, who are primarily interested in maximising an income stream for themselves, can undermine criminal investigations and make fictitious online accusations about people which some struggle to ever throw off. And for those with an extremist rage against innocent sections of the population, the internet provides access to a network of like-minded lunatics to make themselves feel both vindicated and supported. The live-streaming of the Christchurch Mosque shootings in March 2019 was a grim wake-up call for the world as to where all this can lead. A right-wing fanatical maniac murdered 51 people while his social media followers cheered him on. Many of those who had watched the live-stream had recorded it and then tried to upload it elsewhere on social media – there were well over a million upload attempts made on Facebook alone. Violent extremists look to post even the most gruesome of content because they realise that there are people in the world who are looking for something to believe in, and yet who are completely desensitised to violence – often due to the games they've played since infancy. It is a potent and appalling combination.
Not only great lyrics but also a nod musically to Stiff Little Fingers, this is Terrorvision...
So, now maniacs can live-stream their atrocities, And upload essays of their twisted philosophies Straight to your homes or to your phones with such consummate ease – Thanks to the miracle of modern technologies.
The most sickening future acts will all be televised – Twisted minds playing out their fantasies before our eyes. Pandora’s box is not just opened – it’s been pulverised. Is this what global tech-giants once visualised?
To facilitate the sharing of everyone’s thoughts may seem a great idea, But there are those who’ll want to use it to spread vile hatred and fear. They screen the close-up details of the latest crazed attack. The genie’s out of the bottle – can it ever be put back?
Is this what we think freedom of expression means – That ISIS can broadcast war crimes to computer screens? And is the horror of the image still all that it seems When decontextualised and reformatted into memes?
And so this desensitised online culture that’s been building up for years Leads to mass murder sprees accompanied by the sound of online cheers, Where all the victims look like targets that you are supposed to slay To get extra bonus points in all the games you’ve learned to play.
The horrors that appear on the screen Are things that cannot be unseen. The cruelty, the terror, and the screams May always haunt you in your dreams.
Hopefully by now you're all well aware of Blvckhelicopters, the prolific outlet for the thoughts and frustrations of anarchist and digital creator Michael Maus https://blvckhelicopters.bandcamp.com/music
Despite the high number of releases, the quality has remained consistently high. I've no idea how the guy manages to keep up those standards.
I've also no idea how he's also found the time for a side project.
National Razor hits even harder than Blvckhelicopters. It's still in the same ballfield lyrically, the goal is to spread the idea of a better world without governments, but the music takes more of a hardcore path. Happily it remains very catchy. There's also a very pleasing mix of female & male vocals.
Is it as good as what we've come to expect from Blvckhelicopters? I honestly think it is! This is the title track, it's called Ungovernable...
What I do with my body
Is none of your business
What I do with my mind
Is none of your business
What I do with my voice
Is none of your business
What I do with my rights
Is none of your business
No kings, no state, no master’s law
I won’t submit, I won’t withdraw
My body, mind, and soul
I am ungovernable
What I do with my body
Is none of your business
What I do with my mind
Is none of your business
What I do with my voice
Is none of your business
What I do with my life
Is none of your business
My rights are not subject to your feelings
Human rights are non-negotiable
My rights are not subject to your beliefs
Human rights are ungovernable
My rights are not subject to your lifestyle
Human rights are non-negotiable
My rights are not subject to your morals
Human rights are ungovernable
YAKKIE are a punk supergroup from London who are fronted by Janey Starling who you may remember was the vocalist for Dream Nails and who guested on a few tracks on the Petrol Girls album, Baby. Also in the band are Robin Gatt (Personal Best & Petrol Girls) on guitar & vocals, Laura Ankles (Colour Me Wednesday) on bass & vocals and Maeve Westall (Itoldyouiwouldeatyou) on drums.
I feel I should know more about GOLD CUP (https://www.instagram.com/gimmiegoldcup/). They're from Manchester, they introduced themselves a couple of years ago with debut single 8 Ball but I don't think I played anything on the show till recent single Zero Percent.
So let's make amends today.
Their new 6 track ep is titled The Piss Has Been Taken and it's available on cassette via Sour Grapes Records.
It's no secret that I was one of the biggest supporters of "Night Birds". From their early opening gigs to their farewell 2 night spot at Asbury Park's "House Of Independents". I was literally crushed when they announced their break-up.
But luckily for us here at "The Jersey Shore" we have no shortage of bands that were willing to take their place. Enter - "School Drugs" (https://www.facebook.com/schooldrugs). A band I've been friends with before they even existed.
Their lead singer Josh Jurk is a "Lifer". He lives and breathes Punk Rock history & culture. We became friends upon our first meeting. Along with bass player Edgar I've known these guys since they were "Punk Pups". So I've gotten to see "School Drugs" evolve the same way I watched "Night Birds". Starting out as a 80's "inspired" Thrash/Hardcore band they transformed with each new release. Adding a second guitarist & acquiring the drum skills of Chris Pierce the plan was put in motion. Release a series of 7" EP's that would eventually culminate into a full length. Well my friends that mission has been accomplished with the release of "Funeral Arrangements".
All 4 EP's combined to form one of the best examples of Modern Punk Rock you'll ever hear. Without being biased this is easily my pick for "Modern Punk Rock Album Of The Year". 12 songs that reach their apex in the final title track. I LOVE my "Jersey Shore" music scene and I'm so proud of all these guys have accomplished. Do yourself a favor and wrap your head around the NEW best Punk Band in New Jersey!
As I've still not unearthed too much info on the band I'll pad things out a little by posting both the live version of the song and the studio version. This is digital people...
It's been a while since I've posted anything on here by Nashville power pop heroes Vista Blue (https://www.facebook.com/wearevistablue). They've featured more times than anyone and I guess there's only so many nice things I can say about them before I get repetitive.
But when I heard that their new EP is all baseball songs based on titles from The Smiths' The Queen Is Dead album, I thought it was time to remind you all of their magnificence.
There's 6 songs, mostly fast paced and all catchy & fun. Even my heavenly friend Billy Leeds would (probably) approve of this one (though with it being a Vista Blue/Smiths combo he might not admit it!).
The Bobby Lees (https://www.facebook.com/TheBobbyLees) are a powerhouse of a band from Woodstock, New York who I wasn't sure I'd be hearing from again. Following the release of their highly acclaimed 2022 album, Bellevue, it looked as though the world was their oyster. Unfortunately they seemed to grow disenchanted with the state of the music industry and decided to go on indefinite hiatus.
Watching the video it seems they've slimmed down to a trio but they've lost none of their energy. You listen to many rock bands these days and often it's a struggle to work out the lyrics. Sam Quartin however has a vocal delivery where every word is clear as a bell. Always a great way of getting your message across.
The Out-Sect (https://www.facebook.com/TheOutSect) are a fuzzed out garage punk quintet from Philadelphia featuring a line up of Lisa (vocals/guitar), Grey (lead guitar), Romain (drums), Laura (bass/backing vocals) & Todd (harmonica/organ).
They've been releasing music since 2020. One of those songs, Go Away (https://theoutsect.bandcamp.com/track/go-away), ended up grabbing the number 11 spot in the Just Some Punk Songs 2022 end of year Top 100 chart.
They've just unleashed a new 14 song album titled Primitive Sound. The title sums up pretty well what you're gonna get... primitive, authentic sounding garage rock. It's available on vinyl from Drowned World Records :
Without a doubt, one of my favourite discoveries of 2025 has been London street punks Roxie & The Razorblades (https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61576340464669). I gushed effusively about their album Eat The Rich here :
Some albums boast maybe 2 or 3 great tracks and then a bunch of decent/pretty good ones. Eat The Rich was consistently great throughout so this was obviously a band to keep an eye on.
The latest news from them is that they're working on a new album but having the knack of composing top notch tunes (that are both powerful and catchy) with deceptive ease they've made that wait easier to endure by releasing a new 4 track ep titled Masters Of War. It's available as a name your price download here : https://roxietherazorblades.bandcamp.com/album/masters-of-war-ep
Check it out, they might just become your favourite new band too.
This song is called So This Is Capitalism...
[Verse]
Broken glass streets and a cold hard stare
Empty bellies but they don't even care
This is the land of the great divide
Where dreams rot and the truth's denied
[Verse 2]
Steel-toed boots on the backs of the weak
Every shadow’s a threat every future’s bleak
They sell us war while our homes decay
Oh so this is freedom they say
[Chorus]
So this is capitalism life on its knees
Scraps for the hungry while the fat ones feast
Boarded-up futures and a clawing dread
We’re the living ghosts of the violently misled
[Bridge]
Chains of the state rattle loud and clear
Eyes in the sky feed the boiling fear
Marching orders in a uniform line
No questions asked as they strip us blind
[Verse 3]
Concrete jungles and the sirens hum
Broken promises we’ve all gone numb
Statistics charts they bury our cries
Profit and loss while the planet dies
[Chorus]
So this is capitalism life on its knees
Scraps for the hungry while the fat ones feast
Boarded-up futures and a clawing dread
We’re the living ghosts of the violently misled
Now we're just a little over a month away from the release of their next lp. It'll be titled Dream, Believe, Achieve and going off the evidence presented by the 3 teaser tracks it'll be a definite winner. It'll be available on vinyl (red, white or black), cd and digital download. Check it out here : https://dickmove2.bandcamp.com/album/dream-believe-achieve
This song is an attack on the ideology of patriarchy and it's hard to disagree with the band's point of view. It's called Scared Old Men...
Here's a little something I stumbled across today whilst looking for cool new music for this week's show. It's the opening track from a rowdy as fuck new album by a garage punk trio called The Etters. They're fronted by Jerry Hormone (who's been the vocalist for The Jerry Hormone Ego Trip and guitarist for The Apers as well as featuring in a few other bands) and also feature Luna Becking (bass) & Kate Oram (drums).
The album is titled The ETTERS maken je hartstikke DOOD! (English translation: The ETTERS will make you DEAD!). It's sung in Dutch, it's fast & furious (21 songs in under 20 minutes) and it's streaming on Spotify https://open.spotify.com/album/0XtuIsDiDsJswv2ND3XwbE
Quitters are a garage rock trio from Detroit, Michigan whose line up features Krystian Quint (Guitar/Vocals), Tristan Presley (Bass) & Brandon Fecteau (Drums).
They're not reinventing the wheel but I thought the first of those demo tracks was really rather good in a scuffed up kinda way. Take advantage of the free download. It's called You (Yeah)...
Bear Away (https://www.facebook.com/bearawaymusic) are the Scarborough/Leeds melodic punk quartet who I previously featured on here a couple of years whilst drawing your attention to their album A Drastic Tale Of Western Living
The song I'm sharing today features on an upcoming 7 song compilation from Sell The Heart Records titled A 7 Step Guide To Happiness. It also features the likes of Her Head's On Fire, Neckscars, Shotclock etc and you can find it here
It's about "...the prisons we build for ourselves. That’s what the ‘modern mountains’ are, these massive ugly buildings in which we spend decades of our lives making ourselves miserable to serve a purpose we don’t even believe in."
Boasting a line up of Lucas (Guitar/Vocals), Jon (Bass/Vocals) & Oliver (Drums), they have that pleasing knack of making the churning out of catchy as hell melodic punk tunes seem an easy task.
Proving my catchy as hell assertion correct, this is Sad Adult...
Do you feel like you’re running out of time?
A hollow shell with nothing left inside
and it makes you want to scream (ahhhhhh!!!)
Things get more and more complex
Fewer simple answers fewer good prospects
It's hard to sleep and even harder to dream
But I don’t wanna be a sad adult
Pining for my glory days
I don’t wanna be a sad adult
All depressed and filled with rage
Ba ba ba bada bop ba
In case you’re wondering, we’re singing
About growing old, about giving out
You gotta understand what I’m saying
You can't sell when no one’s buying
And I don’t wanna be a sad adult
Pining for my glory days
I don’t wanna be a sad adult
All depressed and filled with rage
I don’t wanna be a sad adult
clinging to the past, refusing to change
I don’t wanna be a sad adult
Closed off, stuck in my ways
Ba ba ba bada bop ba
Well, I guess this is midlife
In The Red, the debut album by Melbourne power pop n roll quintet The Prize (https://www.facebook.com/theprizemelbourne) has been out for a week now so I think it's time I highlighted a song from it.
It's not easy selecting just one, the album is a gold mine offering up copious tuneful nuggets. Ever since they released their debut ep, Wrong Side Of Town back in 2022 it's been obvious they've got that little bit of something that elevates them above their contemporaries.
According to their Facebook bio (https://www.facebook.com/p/Sadaxe-100087184339695/) "Sadaxe are fast becoming one of the ones to watch on the local punk scene. Influenced by the likes of AC/DC and Thin Lizzy just as much as NOFX and Amyl & The Sniffers, Sadaxe bring thunderous drum fills, rock n roll guitar solos and ear worm melodies."
With that in mind let me share the Manchester band's latest single.
It's a fast paced and melodic personal account of vocalist Molly's 15 year struggle trying to get help with severe pain caused by endometriosis and how in general a lot of medical research seems to be based around men meaning that women are often misdiagnosed or missed.
It's not an issue I was aware of so I guess the band are getting their message out there. This is Medical Misogyny...
Here's a life affirming little tune about embracing growing older that went down well on this week's Just Some Punk Songs show.
It's by Yorkshire-based, female-fronted garage punk band The Puncturists (https://www.facebook.com/thepuncturists). They feature a line up of Gail Townsend (Vocals), Martin Gregory (Drums), Pat Crawford (Guitar and Vocals) & Dale Farrow (Bass and Vocals) and this song is about "when someone tells you that you get to a certain age and you shouldn't try new things because you're "too old for that nonsense" tell them to stuff it! This song is Gail telling those who doubted her taking up vocals in a band at the age of 55 to stuff it!"
In my last update I wrote "When I'm looking for music to feature on here and on the show there's a few must go to UK labels that I keep my eye on. These include Grow Your Own Records, Drowning Sailor, Serial Bowl Records, Brassneck Records and Little Rocket Records. All great labels who are very reliable. If they're releasing something you can pretty much guarantee it'll be a winner."
Helping to prove my point are Grow Your Own Records who've just released a new album titled A Better World. It's a split lp featuring Philadelphia political punks The Dissidents (https://www.facebook.com/dissidentsphilly) and California anarcho punks D.O.V.E.
The album maintains this standard throughout with both bands bringing their A game.
Today I'm going to highlight a tragically all too topical song, it's called History Repeats...
Once again, blood is shed
In back alleys left for dead
As they sit back making laws
Protecting life that never lived
History repeats
Once Again
Innocent blood is shed
Once again blood is shed
Bodies pile on stolen land
Starvation, bombs and death
Ethnic cleansing not self defense
History repeats
Once Again
Innocent blood is shed
History repeats
Every day
History repeats
When I'm looking for music to feature on here and on the show there's a few must go to UK labels that I keep my eye on. These include Grow Your Own Records, Drowning Sailor, Serial Bowl Records, Brassneck Records and Little Rocket Records. All great labels who are very reliable. If they're releasing something you can pretty much guarantee it'll be a winner.
Case in point today as Little Rocket Records gear up to unleash a new album by gravel throated Birmingham punks Back Teeth. Their sound is of the gruff, melodic type that brings to mind the likes of Dauntless Elite and Iron Chic (I notice Iron Chic's Jason Lubrano is responsible for the album artwork).
Next month sees the release of a new album titled Don't Care, Didn't Ask. They've been drip feeding a few singles from it and you can find them here : https://cheapperfume.bandcamp.com/music
This is the final teaser for what will be a pretty damn special release. They say of it; “This song is a battlecry of retaliation to the epidemic of violence committed against marginalized groups by men. As a survivor of domestic abuse and sexual violence we want to fight for those who have already lost their voices or can’t for themselves. Time's up, respect our existence or expect resistance.”
It's called Dead If I Do...
Stalked in the street, held on our knees Your conquest to control me You watch too much pornography Deluded by gender supremacy Doesn’t matter if we’re nice or mean You’re punching a wall pretending it’s me You must think you can tame me My body, your choice? Bitch, please
(Chorus) Because I said so, and no means no I’m dead if I do, dead if I don’t If I don’t die by your abuses I’ll choke to death on your excuses Because I said so and no means no I’m dead if I do, dead if I don’t x2
Forced to marry, forced to carry You will never fucking own me Treat us as your property Then kill us when we try to leave Hate the housewife, hate the whore Nowhere is safe, it wasn’t before Comply or die and fuck my rights Won’t get me without a fight
(Chorus) Because I said so, and no means no I’m dead if I do, dead if I don’t If I don’t die by your abuses, I’ll choke to death on your excuses Because I said so, and no means no I’m dead if I do, dead if I don’t Sick of living with your foot on my throat Dead if I do, dead if I don’t x2
Silenced before Hear us now Dead if you do Dead if you don’t x2
(Chorus) Because I said so, and no means no I’m dead if I do, dead if I don’t If I don’t die by your abuses, I’ll choke to death on your excuses Because I said so, and no means no I’m dead if I do, dead if I don’t Sick of living with your foot on my throat Dead if I do, dead if I don’t x2
Garage rock legend Billy Childish is showing no signs of slowing down. Whenever I visit the Damaged Goods site (https://damagedgoods.co.uk/) there's usually a new release upcoming from one of the great man's many projects.
There's been many words written about Billy Childish down the years so I think all I need to add is, go listen to the song. It's called And The Band Played Johnny B. Goode...
So what do the following men all have in common? - Mikey Erg, Kurt Baker, Brad Marino, Geoff Palmer, Pavid Vermin, J Prozac, Dave Strong and Classic Pat. They were all once/still are members of well known "underground" bands. All now striving to carve out their own niche as solo artists.
Obviously his second solo outing and it shows him growing more distance from his Pop Punk/Ramonescore roots. After a few listens I'm leaning on some 80's New Wave (The Vapors, The Fixx, The Police) and major 90's Manchester (Stone Roses, Charlatans, Soup Dragons) influences. There's still some Punk anger in songs like "Self Doubt" and "Turbulent" but the growth is not only musical but lyrically as well. "Envy", "Highlight Reel" & "Can't Forget The Terror" seem like they come straight from Ricky's diary.
This second chapter in one man's journey is revelatory. You can still be angry and retrospective at the same time. All in all this is a solid piece of music. Beholden to no genre. And THAT'S what I want from music in 2025 & forward! I don't doubt for a second that this man has a piano ballad or "The Police" style reggae jam up his sleeve. Here's my favorite cut off the album "Scenederella" because it rocks & we ALL know her!
A brief history lesson. As 2013 drew to a close I decided to start a blog. The first 2 songs I posted (on December 31st) were Alright by Radioactivity and I'll Be Gone by Oblivians (https://justsomepunksongs.blogspot.com/2013/). Not a bad way to kick things off!
I mention that because today I'm highlighting a song by a band from Memphis called Laundry Bats. They feature Greg Cartwright and Jack Yarber from Oblivians (and Reigning Sound & Compulsive Gamblers). Rounding out the trio is Abe White (Manateees/True Sons of Thunder).
They've an album out on Hozac Records and if you enjoy your rock n roll music straight outta the garage (and supplemented with a healthy helping of brass) then it'll be right up your street. It's titled Hangin On A String and you can find it here : https://hozacrecords.bandcamp.com/album/hangin-on-a-string
It's a hazard of putting the Just Some Punk Songs show together that songs occasionally get stuck in your head. Todays update features a catchy as hell tune that's currently rattling round in my brain.
Loose Lips are a rock n roll trio from Melbourne. They boast one hell of a line up; Josh Hardy (Guitar/ Vocals; the Chats and the Unknowns), Ethan Stahl (Bass/ Vocals; Chubby and the Gang, the Prize, Street Sweeper) and Nadine Muller (Drums/ Vocals; the Prize).
They announced themselves in fine style last year with a debut ep and they return today with a debut full album. The album's called Last Laugh and it's available on various vinyl variants and as a digital download : https://staylooselips2.bandcamp.com/album/last-laugh
It's a delight, just check out the title track for example, it's a crunchy power pop winner. I played it on a recent show and I've also featured Too Late To Call and Don't Mess Me 'Round. The album's full of should be hits though so I'll highlight a different track today.
Big riffs, bigger melodies, this is Out Of Time...
A new band to me today, one that it isn't easy to pin down with regards to style of music. Let's just say they utilise a myriad of sounds. There's garage punk going up against post punk with invention being the order of the day.
They're called Dog Lips and they hail from Portsmouth, New Hampshire. Their first release was a Self Titled album in 2022, their latest being sophomore album Danger Forward.
It hits hard from the start with a very cool song called Brain Feeder which features a riff that'll get under your skin. There's more highly infectious guitar sounds running through the song I'm highlighting today. It's called Voicemail Bomb Threat...
Today's song is an up tempo UK82 inspired stomper by a band from Liverpool called THE SOCIAL. They feature members of Violent Reaction, The Flex, Salem Rages and Pardon Us.
Occasionally great music just drops into your lap and makes you think "how come I know nothing about this?"
I've just chanced upon a song by BLVCKHELICOPTERS which has pretty much blown me away. I felt the need to investigate further and found a Bandcamp page with loads of songs on it.
It seems BLVCKHELICOPTERS is "an eclectic music project by Michael Maus, an anarchist and digital creator from the US, with the goal of spreading the idea of a better world without governments."
Great tunes, a worthy message, I'll be digging deeper.
Anyway, the song that got me climbing down the rabbit hole. It's classic old school punk with a modern day sheen. And the best thing is, I've been listening to more songs as I type this out and this track is only the tip of a pretty substantial iceberg. It's called Unite Or Die...
I just don't give a shit what color your skin is We can be allies if you hate the government I just don't give a fuck if you're trans or gay We can be allies if you hate the state
We don't have time for petty differences When the new world order is closing in The only way we're getting out of this Is not through division and politics
We must unite under the moonlight We must unite, or we will die We must unite under the moonlight We must unite, or we will die
I just don't give a shit what gender you are We can be allies if you wanna bomb cop cars I just don't give a fuck what your identity is We can be allies if you hate all politics
It was never black versus white or gay versus straight So what the fuck are we gonna do We've been turned against each other by the state So what the fuck are we gonna do Why are we wasting time with internet arguments So what the fuck are we gonna do There are pedophiles and killers in the government So what the fuck are we gonna do
The Sleeveens (https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100091638910253) are a rock n roll quartet with members based in both Nashville and Dublin. They released a highly impressive debut album last year from which I played several songs on the show but it looks as though I missed out on getting them on the blog.
I can rectify that omission today as they've just released a new single. It features 2 songs, one of which is a cover of Reigning Sounds' Drowning (the original version was on Reigning Sounds' 2004 album Too Much Guitar https://reigningsound.bandcamp.com/track/drowning).
It's been many years since I've posted an old song on here but today's update features one from 2005. The reason being is that this week's Just Some Punk Songs show isn't the usual new release showcase. Instead I'm indulging myself by playing 25 golden oldies. It's going to be a killer playlist and I highly recommend you try and catch it either at noon (UK time) tomorrow (Sunday 24th) (https://gpr.mixlr.com/), or on one of the various radio stations it'll feature on during the week or when it gets uploaded to Mixcloud.
The Dollheads (https://www.facebook.com/theDollheadsMusic) are an all sibling trio from Las Vegas who've been around since 2020. Maybe some of you saw them at the Rebellion Festival last week? They caught my attention at the end of last year when they released a song titled Teenage Runaway (https://thedollheads.bandcamp.com/track/teenage-runaway). If you missed it, I recommend you rectify the situation now.
They've also caught the attention of Fat Mike who's added them to his Fat Wreck roster.
This is their new single. It's a fun old school romp and it's titled Burger King Is Hiring...
(Welcome to Burger King, can I please take your order?)
You're a wannabe
Berate me from your mask, but no
You still can't see
You're drowning in all your shit talk
You stupid motherfucker,
Think you got your way?
I know you're so obsessed with me,
My own paparazzi
Tell them all
You think I'm going nowhere,
But who's gonna listen
To a dick who doesn't wash their hair?
Tell me, tell me, tell me
That I'm a prissy, stuck up bitch
Tell me, tell me, tell me
What you will
Say I'm gonna be nothing
Say that, “Burger King is hiring!”
Type it up, take your shots, tell me,
“Burger King is hiring!”
You think it's funny now,
Hope you got your laughs
But you'll be there when I pull up
And ask you for a Whopper
In my eyes
Not so funny now that
You can't hide,
You're a coward from behind the screen
You think you're such a smartass
But I'm climbing up the scene
I promise I'll be nice
When I see you in the drive thru
Tell them all
You think that I'm so petty,
But I'm way too far
To waste time on your dumbass
Tell me, tell me, tell me,
I'm useless and I'm crazy,
But where's my goddamn soda?
Say I'm gonna be nothing
Say that, “Burger King is hiring!”
Type it up, take your shots, tell me,
“Burger King is hiring!”
You think it's funny now,
Hope you got your laughs
But you'll be there when I pull up
And ask you for a Whopper
Gonna be nothing
Say that, “Burger King is hiring!”
Type it up, take your shots, tell me,
“Burger King is hiring!”
You think it's funny now,
Hope you got your laughs
But you'll be there when I pull up
