Super Adventure Club - Straight From The Dick

Straight From The Dick cover art

Are you nodding off after a really stressful day and feeling sorry for yourself? It is the start of the working week after all and literally aeons till the next weekend. Sometimes what you need is a shot of adrenalin. One so lethal it kicks you right hard in your turn-ups. Mind you, if you're wearing turn-ups, this blog really isn't the best place for you I don't think...

Anyway, what can thegeneral offer you? A right nice bit of musical filth, that's what - and it comes courtesy of Super Adventure Club.

Now this is a curious one to tell you about, because Super Adventure Club are more or less no more, more or less - and this album - their third, is a kind of last dirty weekend away, before they disappear off into the ether.

So first things first, you need to know where to get it from:

Click the link above and visit the Armellodie Records bandcamp page and have a little listen to the noisy, raucous preview track to get you in t'mood. They are GREAT. It's intricate, its loud, it's feisty, it's everything that a math rock-heavy metal-pop hybrid should be. It feels a little like the young, cocky, upstart offspring of Dick Dale has been let loose in the studio and told to run total riot and not give a shit about the consequences. If you like your music with more than a little bite then this is the album you need to be pre-ordering. If you want gentle whimsy, you'd better look somewhere else.

It's a shame they're not sticking around, but if you get the chance explore their back catalogue too - which you can find by simply following the link above. There are some real gems on their previous albums and they're a band well worth exploring and getting to know. You might not have heard them here first, but you'd be a fool to ignore them now.
