Whooo! Got my head bopping along right away. I nearly fell out of my office chair from vibing to this. Absolutely crushed the hardcore punk - awesome track!

The Biafra is strong with this one!  And the cheeky Johnny Rotten rolling of your R was brilliant.  That was great fun to listen to, but I bet only as half as fun as it was to make

Love it. Seems like a nice pairing with my song from last week. Haha!

Thanks! I was bouncing while I was singing it, too. WEEKLY BEATS MOSH PIT!

Thanks! It was fun to focus on aggression, rather than to get everything "right". Because for this, getting it right makes it sound wrong

Thank you! I think my first run at the vocals was a lot more Johnny Rotten, but it really didn't work. Pitched my voice down a little and it was a keeper...but kept the "R" Absolutely tons of fun to make. To my wife: "OK if I go in the basement and be noisy?" (I also learned that my house is very solidly built LOL)

Thanks! Amusingly enough, we've had a few parallel tracks as far as theme, within like a week or so of each other - including our kids, two chord (my doom track was only two chords), and now a big mug of fuck it (Also, I have gone back to listen to STFU multiple times. I love that track.)

I mean ... it's fantastic punk. It's got everything it needs - attitude, punk guitar, crash garage drums, swearing and the band shouting along....

... but I also get the slightest bit of a B52 vibe on the vocals and I can't stop smiling lol.

(I mean I thought the B52s were pretty punk in spirit...)

This was awesome lol. Thank you for bringing it cranked to 11 and exploding again week after week (no pressure! Ha)

This is WEEKLY BEATS, man. What, you think this is, some kind of fuckin’ GAME? 🤣🤣🤣

Thank you! Died laughing at that comment. Also, +1 for getting the man himself into the thread. 😁

Ok, now I’m REALLY dyin’ here…because I 100% had the thought that these vocals have a touch of Fred Schneider in them (the TIME…is NOW). I love his vocals. More speak-singing!

And seriously, I was also having the thought before this that I should do a song in the style of the B52’s - I was listening to Rock Lobster last week, one of my favorite songs.

Twangy guitar, some organ, goofy lyrics and some awesome female BG vocals?

So shall it be written, so shall it be done. I think I have a plan for 37… 😁😁

(Also, thank you so much! Having so much fun trying this stuff.)

THIS IS GREEEAT!!! I 100% heard Jollo Biafra's voice as soon as it started, hahahaha... "Wait, I feel like I know this..." LOL
Great stuff, man. Also, super happy to have been somehow part of the motivation for your submission (albeit very indirectly).
Also, HELL YEAH, let's make some hardcore punk!!! My skills at such things are trash, but when has that stopped anyone from taking a shot?!?!

OMG you psyched me out! I did NOT peg this as you, but I LOVED it and thought "Wow, a whole legit punk band crashed WB" AND THEN IT WAS YOU. You absolutely nailed the underground 70s/80s garage punk sound, the vocals (astoundingly perfect), excellent energy & guitar work...I can't even. The ending/coughing is a delightful cherry on top.
Thou hast outdone thyself.

Makes me nostalgic for the times in my teens when I listened mainly to punk. I think you nailed the punk-vibe though it could be even rougher (but I also mostly listened to more loud and fast punk). The coughing at the end is like icing on the cake. Great!

fuck yes!

IN YOUR FACE PUNK!!! Awesome!  Raw, unfiltered, retro.  Awesome jam.

Hahaha, thanks! And hell yeah, you should try making some punk. I'm having a ton of fun trying out things I never thought I'd do

I am in disguise.

Also, damn....thank you! This was fun to put together. I'm working on letting go more when I do vocals - not overthinking, just doing. Feeling it. Also, the coughing was legit. I may have strained a bit on one of the takes and ended up with a coughing jag LOL Leaned into it

Wow, thank you! For an aficionado of punk to give me a thumbs up is high praise

I am totally onboard for louder and faster. Any bands you would recommend? I would love to do some research and try some more punk.

\m/ Thank you!

Thank you so much! I am not an in your face person, so this was a fun thing to try out

Fuck yess... some angry fast punk. Hell yes. Lets fucking go!

Hells yeah, this is awesome.

Love the guitar sound and Ginn influence, how'd you get that sound?

Also, you mentioned Ginn and Black Flag, I actually heard Keith Morris in the vocals somewhere, which I didn't see mentioned. I absolutely love Morris, so that's a compliment from me!

Love hearing some guitar music here on weeklybeats, keep it up!

This was ace, please some more punk!

Oh, and the sign off and endin was absolutely *chefs kiss*

Keith Morris?! Holy crap, huge compliment, thank you!

Guitar sound is based on the Punk Rock preset in logic (which is pretty much the same in GarageBand, based on a Marshall model - do a search for Punk Rock in the library). I dropped the bass slightly and added the Squash pedal. Added an overall compressor as well. Have fun!

Totally thinking of doing more punk. I am in no way familiar with actually MAKING punk, so this is a LOT of fun
