Loud near audible waling, with constant tambourines and big ugly riffs, this thing rules!, The energy and “balls out” fun of this track (heck, the whole album actually) is infectious!, see the video for o’clock track down below, and add ‘Fancy Dancer’ to their already enviable repertoire.
If ever a band were primed for a breakthrough year for 2016 , it’s got to be ScotDrakula. Their self-released, self-titled album has already garnered the Melbourne based outfit international acclaim, and without a label, an official website, or even much of a backstory, the mysterious punk rockers hold most of the keys to their own destiny. In other words, they’re living the DIY dream. Of course, such success is rarely won easily, and fittingly, a deeper dive into the band’s past reveals excellent material released as far back as 2011. ScotDrakula’s talent is more than a flash in the pan, and a close listen,
In a “brevity is the soul of wit” sort of way, frontman Matt Neumann’s lyrics are truly excellent. In case you were wondering how many times a singer can get away with using the line, “I’m getting high in the back seat,” we now know from “Shazon” that the answer is at least 20. It may be more, but since the song ends after twentieth time through the refrain, it’s hard to say for sure. What makes all the repetition so fun, however, are the song’s two verses that are just intricate, jumbled, and rambling enough to provide a perfect contrast to the crystal clear chorus. Similarly, the band makes the most of out only two chords until the last thirty seconds of the song, when they switch it up just in time for a triumphant conclusion led by Neumann’s griping vocals.
Some days there is nothing more at stake than three goofballs farting around on a porch, and that is a beautiful sentiment. Perfect video for a perfect song O’Clock is the first single off debut self-titled ScotDrakula LP.
