We start off with a Norwegian punk band called Rowdy and Raunchy, which sounds promising, but they have made an energetic little song that sounds like bad theme song for a jeggings brand (whatever that is, I don’t know).
Coincidentally, a Jamaican band in the 70s called the Gladiators did a smash up job with a song also called We Are the Warriors.
You be the judge. Who sounds like warriors?
The Rastas win by a score of 100 to -4.
Made it not quite a minute on the “punk” song. It’s that horrible, today’s idea of radio-friendly punk – generic, melodic, right out of the corporate can. Yuck.
And the winner is: Rowdy&Raunchy!
Damn thats a awesome punk song.
It’s stuck in my brain.
I love the punk song and its a cool video aswell. Nice bassplayer flying in the middel.
This is my kinda music.
9 outta10.
I am with Johnnine. Dig Rowdy and Raunchy a lot. Very well executed, though I like the Gladiators, too. Kind of like liking both Wasabi and Creamy horseradish, depending upon what you are eating (Reggae is some hard shit to play well).
Steve, I repeat: you are a snob.
I freekin’ dig the drums on that punk song by Rowdy. Straight out of the “how to play kickass drums book”. Rock on!!
I’m not sure who all these R&R lovers are (besides Lawr), but I think I have an idea. I’ve eliminated one possibility.
Listened again, just to make sure, and I was correct, it’s horrible. Noticed this time how they layer a cheesy hair-metal guitar over top of solid guitar. Ugh.
Which is worse – corporate pop punk or hair metal?
Well, this isn’t really punk, IMHO. It is pop a la Nick Lowe. Power Pop.
Hmmm. I’ll bet if you asked 10 dopes off the street at least seven would identify this with punk over something pure power pop like Nick Lowe.
Nick Lowe is clean, this is dirty. And stinky.
