The New Brutarians - New Muse

  


  The last song I posted on here was by The Courettes and they're a band who bring the sounds of the 60's into the modern age. Similar can be said of St. Petersburg, Florida, duo The New Brutarians (https://www.facebook.com/thenewbrutarians). Although channelling maybe more of an early 70's vibe they're another band who transport us back in time without sounding dated. A look at their influences reveals that their record collections contain music from the likes of Alex Chilton, Nikki Sudden, Lou Reed, Dogs D'amour, Tronics, Rolling Stones, Modern Lovers, Leonard Cohen, Johnny Thunders etc. They aren't a carbon copy of any of them but do cherry pick the best bits.

  Lining up with Christina Wright (Drums & Vocals) and Adam Turkel (Guitars/Bass/Keyboards /Vocals), they've been around since 2018 and you can check out their music here :  https://thenewbrutarians.bandcamp.com/

  They're gearing up for the release of a new album titled Hysteria and have paved the way for it with a teaser single. The New Muse ep features 3 non album b sides (Barter Baby (I'll Trade You My Heart), The New Brutarian and a cover of Fleetwood Mac's Go Your Own Way) as well as a title track that does a great job of ramping up expectations.

  It's a mix of dream pop and rock n roll who's Fleetwood Mac Rumours sleeve has me wondering if it's about Stevie Nicks & Mick Fleetwood. I'm not sure if that's right or not but I do know it's a very good song. This is New Muse...

The New Brutarians - The New America

  


  The New Brutarians (https://www.facebook.com/thenewbrutarians/) are a lo-fi rock n roll duo from Saint Petersburg, Florida, featuring Adam Turkel (guitar/piano/vocals) and Christina Wright (drums/bass). Amongst a lengthy list of influences are Alex Chilton, Nikki Sudden, Lou Reed, Gun Club, The Only Ones, Dogs D'amour, Rolling Stones bootlegs, Modern Lovers, Leonard Cohen & Johnny Thunders. 

  They formed in 2018 and have just released a new song in time for the upcoming US presidential election. It's a protest song that they only finished off recording a couple of nights ago at Gino Bambino's studio and the Gino And The Goons (https://ginoandthegoons.bandcamp.com/) frontman plays bass on the track. It's a tale of a president who's fiddling whilst Rome burns around him. Who emboldens the fascist right whilst at the same time presiding over the highest Corvid death toll in the world. You can get it here : https://thenewbrutarians.bandcamp.com/track/the-new-america

  This is The New America... 

In poison air
the breaths hang thick
the president can suck my dick
light like a feather
we’re heaving bricks
no one’s buying these magic tricks

we don’t need a new election
we need the slate wiped black
these pigs fiddle their cum stained pockets
while kneeling on our backs

welcome to the new America
a for profit prison
welcome to the new America
built on fear and friction

we’re open come in enjoy
undocumented golf green keepers
employed
their beige bambinos rot in cages
dreams of your minimum wages
lies lies lies vs scientific fact
200,000 dead
lets blame a bat
lies lies lies
being pushed as fact
well I, I, I, am pushing back

welcome to the new America
run by a titian tit
welcome to the new America
are you gonna stand for it?
lies
lies
lies
lies
lies
lies
lies
lies
lies
welcome to the new amerikkka
