The Antics - Dogs Bloody Dogs

   

  I've just noticed it's been a week since the last update. Sometimes the enthusiasm waxes, sometimes it wanes. Should I post more often or should I call it a day? Or should I just post as and when something comes along demanding to be shouted about? 

  Like the song I'm sharing today.

  The Antics (https://www.facebook.com/p/The-Antics-61559489248945/) are the Melbourne band that I featured last August (https://justsomepunksongs.blogspot.com/2025/08/the-antics-takings.html). 

  I mentioned I was looking forward to hearing more. Now I have heard more as they've just released a self titled album. There's loads of great Aussie bands around at the moment. Antics are one of the best. The album's available on limited edition transparent red vinyl and as a digital download and I recommend you check it out https://the-antics.bandcamp.com/album/the-antics-2

  Passionate vocals, blitzkrieg guitars and even a bit of barking! This is Dogs Bloody Dogs... 

The Antics - Takings

  

  The Antics (https://www.facebook.com/p/The-Antics-61559489248945/) are new to me. They're from Melbourne and are boasting a new line up of Freya Tanks (vocals), James Colicchia (guitar), Kealy Harris (bass) & Wil Clifford (drums).

  They look to have released a 6 track ep towards the end of last year. You can listen on Youtube  https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_kkPe5vPFsGUgU94xkwQe2Bp0LQ5mUsE60

  And now there's a new single. It's short and sweet but suggests the band have honed their sound and it promises great things. If I was to make a comparison I'd say they remind me (on this track) of Dublin band Sprints. I look forward to hearing more. You can find it here :                                                               https://the-antics.bandcamp.com/track/takings

   It's called Takings...

STRIP ME DRY TAKE YOUR MONEY AND RUN

IS THAT WHAT YOU WANT?
HAVE YOU HAD YOUR FUN?
WELL IT'LL ALL COME UNDONE

T-T-T-TAKINGS
WELL I TAKE THE TICKET
WHILE YOU TAKE YA TIME
CHATTING SHIT TO KEEP YOURSELF IN LINE

DOOR SWINGS OPEN
TAKE YA PICK
STRUM IT ON A STRING
OR ARE YA LOOSIN IT? UH

T-T-T-TAKINGS
ARE YA PLAYING TONIGHT?
ITS A BLOODY DAMN SHAME
HOPE YA HAVE A GOOD NIGHT
T-T-T-TAKINGS
SINK BACK INTO THE SPIRALLING REEL
OR SINK YA TEETH DOWN INTO SOMETHING REAL

TAKE A STEP BACK AND FALL INTO THE PIT
OR DRAG YOURSELF OUT AND PULL STRAIGHT THROUGH IT
THE FLAMES STILL HOT
THE ROADS NOT RUN
A FIRE UP MY ASS TO PROVE YA WRONG

ITS ALL FUN AND GAMES
UNTIL SOMEONE CAVES IN
T-T-T-TAKINGS
T-T-T-T-TAKINGS
FEEL YOURSELF SLIP
TAIL BETWEEN YOUR LEGS

T-T-T-TAKINGS
S-S-SINK IN HUH!

OH GO ON TAKE IT IN!
OH GO ON TAKE IN
