Genre: Electronic Punk Rock /
Break-step – in other words twatty techno punk bullshit!
And
now for something completely different...
It
is very easy to call Petrol Bastard –
shit if you take your music seriously, BUT there comes a time when you just have to
sit back, relax and put on a bit of Petrol
Bastard – even if it is only for the fun of it!
The
Petrol Bastard Army follow in their
idols shoes and adopt a ‘twatty’ approach too by bending all the rules and
going against the grain! But it is all part of an elaborate hoax to make you
succumb to Petrol Bastards
requirements, and a lot of us have fallen for it already! Because it is different! For
me it has to be the keyboard sounds and the cheeky lyrics that fester in my
head and this E.P as short as it is, gives you just the right amount of Petrol Bastard without you becoming a hospital casualty!
This
is a free download E.P and you have to smile when you read on Band-camp “High
Quality Download” with Petrol Bastard
you could get anything! even Aids of the ears is possible, but one thing is for
sure – it will bring either a smile, a grimace or ultimate shock to your facial
features – which one will it bring to you?
The
first track ‘Hey Petrol Bastard’ is
a blaze of mutant keyboard and shrill harmonies that can boast some funny
lyrics that everyone can relate to. Its twisting and gut wrenching rhythms are
just as twisted as PB themselves, listen out for the line “Is it true that you
gave Terry Wogan a wedgie?” ‘Kin ‘ell!!
This
is about a trip to Greggs! Entitled ‘Fuck
Off’ although I don’t think their customer service lasted long after a
visit from Petrol Bastard! The
melodies running through this track along with very likable lyrics is very
moreish! Maybe even more moreish than a Gregg's Pastie!
Sailing
very close to the wind on this track ‘Don’t
beep for the Retard’ It is spoken in a very clear voice at the beginning at
least until Jon explodes into a tirade of abusive lyrics to a very chirpy
keyboard melody – that you can’t ignore. His yodelling is fuckin' shit - but hey very funny!
‘Oi Lad’ boasts an
epic sound of trumpets and double vocal harmony that is surprising even for Petrol Bastard standards which we know
is a very low affair, but still, there are lots of ‘sweary’ moments to be had
here and unfortunately it’s very catchy so no doubt once you get this in your
head you will have a very hard time trying to get rid of it!
The rhythms are just so likable in a shit way of course. I thought ‘Jihad Trombone’ would never be equalled however I think this E.P has done it, despite only having 4 tracks, so that doesn’t say much about me does it? But there is nothing like being quirky and individual is there? And Petrol
Bastard once seen (and heard) are very hard to ignore no matter how hard you
try!
The
cover says it all as well – with the love affair of Jonathan and Ben living
happily ever after! Awwwwww!
Long
live Petrol Bastard – why? Because
they are fuckin’ shit (hot)
