Monday Music Monkey Review

What's up my bitches! Today I will be reviewing the one only only awesomeness that is "Regurgitator" this boys kick ass and this album should be in your collection! Yes the album known as "Unit".
I crowd surfed to this guys and it was unreal, except the next day when I woke up and my back was so sore from all the hands pushing on your back. Man the only back pain I enjoy is 'Shaggers Back", anyway onto the album.
Unit kicks of with the song 'I Like Your Old Stuff Better Than Your New Stuff' and never has a song been so true, I mean I love the Stone's old stuff, their new stuff no way I mean geriatrics singing about rooting chicks! really I don't think so. This song is kick ass with it's syth and electronica sound, seriously cool.

We then move onto 'Everyday Formula' which is way cool and then we move onto one of my favourite songs on the album '!* (Song Formerly Known As)' it has such great beat, dirty riff and the lyrics are genius
“I don't go to parties baby
Coz’ people tend to freak me out
Watch their lips you can work it out
I can hear the words but I still don't know what it's all about"


The next song I can totally relate to 'Black Bugs' a song about video games, man I know that feeling, last level, no lives left and one boss to beat! PURE FUCKING AWESOME song and so true! 'World Of Sleaze' is the next song and from it's slow start it's building up and the lyrics are unreal, who else can sing about dicks and cunts and make it sound cool. The next song is 'I Piss Alone' a really funny song that starts slow and builds to this solid wall of sound, grungy and seriously kick ass song.

Then we move onto the title track 'Unit' which is a short electronica song really cool the way it builds. Then we move onto quite possibly the best song on the album
'I Will Lick Your Asshole' what a killer name for a song (hey, Redi come here my asshole needs a clean you bitch, that's it, now lick it good!). Killer song from start to finish. The comes the hugely popular song about 'Modern Life' and our mass consumer life that we live, cool music (great drum beat) and awesome lyrics as well.

'Polyestergirl' is the next track and doesn't everybody want one of those, no bullshit just sex. The track has a really cool electronic sound and awesomely funny lyrics.I guess it's not far off with all the plastic girls around today. Then we move onto the wall of sound that is '1234' a cool song that you can imagine them mucking around in the flea and rat infested studio on this song. Then we move onto 'Mr T' a slower track but still way cool. the last song is 'Just Another Beautiful Story' with it's awesome electronic intro and cool riff it is a great way to end a true classic album, way ahead of it's time, but time has proved them right, this album is still as good as it was when it was released back in 1997.

Do yourself a favour and get this album I give it 4 and a half shots of whiskey out of five (the 5 shots are for their live performance they kick ass). Till next week
Peace out my bitches!

Hello my bitches, I trust you had a good weekend I sure did! Nice and relaxing watching the ashes and sinking a few. Nice to see an exciting game of cricket. Now today I will be reviewing the next installment of the epic 'Lorde' and her brand new ep 'Tennis Court'

As I mentioned in last week's review of her first ep 'The Love Club' she is one majorly talented singer who creates this amazing works of art both musically and lyrically. Let's get into it shall we?

The first track on the album and also the debut single and title track is 'Tennis Court'. This is a great first song, with it's insanely addictive lyrics (similar to 'Royals'), synthesizer and awesome beat make this an absolute gem of a song (and the "yeahs" will definately get stuck in your head).

The next track is 'Swingin Party', now that's what i am talking about, nothing beats an awesome party and Jesus will provide the chips, the beer and the girls, yeah. Anyway back to the track. This is a more mellow affair and it starts with a drum beat and her voice kicks in and it rocks, it sounds so mature for someone so young and it really does show she is the real deal!

The next track is the darker 'Biting Down' that I covered last week. Then the album ends with quite possibly her best vocal performance so far on the track 'Bravado'. The back vocals add to the haunting and epic sound of this song, do yourself a favour and get this album, it has been on serious heavy rotation in my monkey cave!

Now when are you releasing a full album! I am giving this 5 shots of whiskey out of 5. Check it out and buy the album as the world needs more artists of this calibre!
Till next week 
Peace out my Bitches!

Hello my bitches, apologies for the week off - I needed a break, that's what alcohol poisoning does to you, thank god my liver is back to normal (remember your liver is evil and must be punished).
Now today I will be reviewing one kick-ass kiwi chick - Lorde (or her real name Ella Yelich-O'Connor who hails from my mate Jason Te Puia's old stomping ground Auckland NZ) and her E.P. - 'The Love Club'. I am so excited that she has a new album coming out later on this month that I am about to flick poo at the walls (yes you heard me Redi, now clean it bitch!).

Man what is it with kiwi chicks, they are so talented and so arty at the same time think Kimbra, Ladyhawke, Bic Runga, Brooke Fraser etc. Man I don't don't know what is in their water over there but they keep producing these beautiful and talented singers, I think this little monkey is due for a trip to NZ.

This is her debut album called 'The Love Club' and it is awesome. The EP kicks off with beautiful song 'Bravado' the music is beautiful and her voice is divine and just so hauntingly beautiful. The next track is my favourite, it grew on me, then when you realise that the lyrics are about anti-consumerism, then when you see the film clip, this song is legendary, it will be a classic and her voice is perfect!

The next song "Million Dollar Bills' is a bit more upbeat with killer beat and her awesome voice it is just such a cool hip-hop song and has such a happy vibe about it, I absolutely love it. The next song is the title track 'The Love Club' it has such great lyrics and shows her versatility and talent just a really cool song.

Then we move onto the darker 'Biting Down' with it's killer hi-hat and great vocals, it closes out a sensational album. I honestly can't wait for her new album, and at 16 years of age she is only going to get better. I give this 5 shots of whiskey out of 5, seriously it is that good so do yourself a favour and add it to your collection NOW!
Till next week
Peace out my bitches
