Werewolf Diskdrive “Hamburgers & Hot Dogs”
This essentially sounds like Liars in electronic punk mode, but with the lyrical concerns of Weird Al Yankovic. This is a throbbing, dirty electro banger about strongly preferring hamburgers and hot dogs (and a few other lowbrow, generally unhealthy foods) over trendy, healthy foods like kale and quinoa. It is gloriously silly, but played totally straight, to the point that it’s a lot more like a “slobs vs. snobs” class thing than a gleefully childish Tim & Eric thing. (They, of course, wrote their own wonderful “Hamburgers and Hot Dogs” song.) But really, it’s the music that makes this so impressive – this does not need to be such a banger, and yet it is. I would love to be at the kind of loud, sweaty party where this gets people going. This really ought to be the “Combination Pizza Hut and Taco Bell” of 2017.
Buy it from Bandcamp.
