a rhythm section that’s tighter than your mother was when I took her virginity all those years ago
What happens when you put Sheffield’s shredtastic answer to Eddie Van Halen, a frontman that oozes machismo and proletariat street cool in a way that makes Liam Gallagher look like a public school educated effeminate fanny in comparison and a rhythm section that’s tighter than your mother was when I took her virginity all those years ago? I’ll tell you what happens, it’s called Shot Dead and it’s even better than receiving fellatio from the beautifully pert lips and wet mouth of Angelina Jolie.
With their onstage nonchalant Nihilism and a steadfast sense of self- confidence so strong it’d be all too easy to dismiss these guys as aloof and aggressive, you may even fear that you’d “just get a slap” from them if you were brave enough to attend one of their frenetic live shows. Indeed, such apprehension wouldn’t be *completely* misplaced… they could knock seven shades of shit out of you if they felt so inclined. These kids don’t fuck about. However in spite of this unnerving fact they are the antithesis generally speaking; quintessential English gentlemen, you’d struggle to meet four more grounded, humble and affable young men. Take it from me; it’s a genuine pleasure spending time in their company.
I implore everyone who reads this to attend their gigs and see for yourselves how raw and incandescent they are live. There’s a distinct and natural synergy when they play that bands 20 plus years their senior can’t hold a candle to. Fuck the monotonous and insincere mediocrity of the likes of Glasvegas, the Courteeners and Kasabian. Shot Dead represent the zeitgeist of UK lad culture better than they ever could.
Just what we need.
aw come on now, they sound amazing. It is interesting how an extra five or six words in a metpahor can tranform ‘brash and irreverent’ into ‘scary and perverted’.
ie.
‘better than receiving fellatio from Angelina Jolie’
OK, sort of like the Now show, fine.
“better than receiving fellatio from the beautifully pert lips and wet mouth of Angelina Jolie”
Should someone phone angelina Jolie and warn her?
Dinosaur Pile-up are in their top friends, I can totally see the similarities.
Oh dear, this one is pretty special.
I think I’ve just wet myself.
funny how ive seen this band several times and i think they are great. Dinosaur Pile-up are nothing like them, must admit though it is a bit over the top though.
“funny how ive seen this band several times and i think they are great.”
It isn’t *that* funny.
Im sure on their myspace it says its written by a promoter not themselves??
It does not matter who wrote it.
What matters is that it’s terrible.
id like to hear all of your bands!
