Description
I know youre trouble, give me a double
This is a line plucked from No Fun, the new ripper from Melbourne punk outfit Rabid Dogs. Much like the groups name indicates, Rabid Dogs pumps out a frenzied and ferocious onslaught that is both barbarous and barbed. The bands sound is wiry and tough, durable and formidable but not without malleability. Rabid Dogs is starting off the year with a 7 EP released officially on Friday January 19 through the esteemed Aarght Records and No Fun is the first cab off the rank when the needle drops. That there line up the top is a pretty good analogy of sorts when describing the Rabid Dogs appeal you know from the outside this band is up to no good but thats not going to stop you diving deep. You know its going to be worth it.
As for the music as a whole, well, if youre a fan of white-knuckled, fuel-injected, power punk, then youve got a lot to like. If you dig a bit of pedigree, then consider this rabid dog worthy of a blue ribbon. Heavy hitters such as Al Smith (Gentlemen, Geld), Kerk Scotczer (Kromosom, Miss Destiny) and Lee Parker (Teargas, Lakes, TOL) are joined by first timer Kate Curtis, who sounds like shes been in 20 bands and not one.
Its not fun when you cant get what you want. Theres a lot to be said about journeys and destinations, sure, but if you like your music fast then the two are more or less the same. If this songs about anything, its that lifes too fucking short for delayed gratification. Tongue firmly in cheek, Kate riffs on flirting at high speed skipping a step or two, aiming straight for the desired result and declaring that those not keen on the same kind of trip should get off the fucking train. She wants what she wants, she wants it from you, and she wants it now.
Dont be a drag, just give me everything I need
Set this sentiment to a cranking, cacophonous backdrop and youve got yourself an anthem suitable for anyone that likes results.
