The Good, The Bad And The Zugly – Research And Destroy
The Good The Bad And The Zugly
Research And Destroy - Fysisk Format
Lets kick this off by simply calling this Norwegian rock/skate-punk/Skandi-rock/crazy/mother/fucking/rock n roll, ever so slightly on the Dwarves side of madness band, GBZ for ease.
So Research & Destroy is GBZ’s sixth album, and they have not really visited upon us anything new, although if your not familiar with this band, then this most definitely is gonna be new and fun, why change a recipe that works and tastes like venom, for something sickly sweet and full of nothing more than honey, that’s my way of saying this is GBZ and your not gonna get anything else this time either.
If nothing else gives you pleasure within this ten track wonder of modern mayhem, the song titles may have a part to play in tickling your appetite, ‘What’s My Name Again’ has absolutely no resemblance what so ever to the Blink 182 tune, in fact I personally was taken into a mosh pit with Dogsflesh UK on stage thrashing the hell out of the guitar riff manual, with plenty of solo licks.
Some may say this is standard rock stuff, but when you sing a ‘Song For A Pepper’ or hail to ‘The Power Of Beer’ then your on a different plain entirely, ‘The PKA Took My Money Away’ on the other hand, has a social connection that many will be all too aware of, addiction of any kind can be financial suicide as well as simply “slow motion suicide” , this song is also a lesson in how to throw musical tantrums all over the god damn place and sound great doing it.
In every album, well most traditionally put together albums, there is a moment of cooling off, a time to reflect on how things are going so far, take a breath, sorry but no not here, ‘Nostradumbass’, ‘Diet 1-2-3’, ‘The Original Incel’ and so on, your bombarded into submission with Scandi-Rock power at it relentless best, and then only then can you sit back and take in ‘Here Come The Waterworks’, a song that defies the rest of the album, it wears its soul on its sleeve, its emotionally charged with what sounds like a rage against the social quagmire of life, a banging anthem to end with.
Not for the faint hearted, a Screamo punk rock fest of energy that never lets up.
Released Via Fysisk Format on April 8th
