loveshovel - G.O.A.T.

 

  "Closely related to sheep!..."

  It's not that long ago since Paul Austin introduced us to Australian band loveshovel (https://justsomepunksongs.blogspot.com/2024/01/loveshovel-dont-look-at-me-guest-review.html) but as their new album, The Only Good Thing I'm Bad At, is now out, I think it's well worth briefly mentioning them again.

  The album's on Youtube and is well worth checking out : https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_mk36rR-BbnfSrgSlz6HkwjuadngSkg3c4

  Give this song a listen, I think you'll be impressed. It's called G.O.A.T. 

loveshovel - Don't Look at Me (Guest Review By Paul Austin)

  

  

Australian punk band loveshovel have really impressed me with all of their 4 tracks they have so far released. Why do I like them? Modern punk with melodies and great songs. I think their 4 tracks are now out on an EP called “Dirty Word.”  https://open.spotify.com/album/7EJ1f0aAwpfuiNGWtx93Qm

 First track “No Hunks” is a no nonsense protest song against men who still don`t know what is acceptable. Next track “GOT BIT” is a cautionary tale of crypto currency, say no more. 3rd track and my favourite on the “EP” is called “Don`t Look At Me”, chiming guitar at the beginning before it explodes into “Don`t Look At Me, Don`t Talk To Me, You`re Drunk”, continues at a frantic pace until the last minute where it slows down before re igniting. The last and newest track is the title track “Dirty Word” and is probably the most “musical” but no less enjoyable. Overall a great EP that has enough to keep you going back to it and I shall certainly be keeping an eye out for future releases.

   This song's about working late, getting to the party and feeling out of place amongst a bunch of pissed up revellers. There's only one thing for it... Give me a fuckin' drink! It's called Don't Look At Me...
