this sons sounds like Gorkys

Yes, I was trying to place a similarity and I wondered about them, and also came up with Ooberman for some reason - maybe not this track so much, but a previous one.

Devil#20

Yep, there's a lot going on in these tracks.

Demons, that is (slightly behind here).

Ok, now for Herman Loves Pauline.....we'll have a drink break after that.

This was another single. Pauline and Hermann were Albert Einstein's parents..... this song is about random facts he learnt in book he bought in motorway service stations whilst on tour, apparently!

Really aggressive stomp on this.
The cymbals and drums have some cool phasing sound.....

Ah definite shades of Pulp and Blur on Hermann ♥'s Pauline

MagicPigDetective

What's funny is that I can't stand Pulp or Blur (after Modern Life is Rubbish) markv said:

A lot of furries songs have crazy endings, with Cian going nuts on the synths and effects...... you will see later!

MagicPigDetective

Right, break time, come back at 8.30 and we will start again with Chupacabras

MagicPigDetective

I was a massive Furries fan in the 00's.....went to many gigs, they were a superb live band... it was a way of life for a while! Even met Gruff a few times, always down to earth, just talked about football or music

I liked the guitar-plus-weird-noises ending on Hermann Loves Pauline just now.

MagicPigDetective

Ok let's go again
9. Chupacabras.......... which I believe is some kind of Mexican monster? 

MagicPigDetective

They have a few of these energetic glam style tunes

Devil#20

Super short. 

MagicPigDetective

10. Torra fy Ngwallt yn hir  (cut my hair long)

The sole song in Welsh........ they are all first language Welsh speakers....

They later recorded a whole album in Welsh.......... Mwng,

Yes, someone must have written a Metal song about the chupacabra...

MagicPigDetective

I love the bridge on this with the cowbell

MagicPigDetective

Ok, the pop is over, now it gets deeper, I promise

11. Bass tuned to D.E.A.D

Evening. Enjoying a lurk and a listen. Thanks for choosing MPD.

MagicPigDetective

Some records combine acoustics and electrics well, like Radiator....... Gruff's acoustic on the left channel...... Bunf's electric on the right channel
