Sometimes you can tell everything you need to know about a song just from the title. Not often, granted, but on that rare occasion it’s like the universe spread its cheeks to shine its hairy ass straight in your direction.
So when I saw the name of the song Vast Slug sent me, I threw all my cards on the table and launched in head first, although I’m guessing there are some who would do the opposite and run as fast as possible in the opposite direction.
Let’s see which of the two you are.
The song is called… You’re A Fucking C@#t, and if I didn’t know better, I would swear Vast Slug wrote it for my good self. Bless their cotton socks.
Swirling guitars kick-start things before a voice full of rage and contempt spits viciously over the top, telling us in no uncertain terms what he thinks of us.
He rants on for a bit before a tasty guitar solo allows time to reflect and come to terms with this sudden realization.
Maybe I am a c@#t? And if I am, how do I turn my life around?
The track poses more questions than answers in its running time of 59 seconds, but it definitely doesn’t fuck around. Short, sharp and full of venom. Part hardcore, part punk, part who-gives-a-fuck.
And who the fuck fits a guitar solo into a song under one minute?
Vast Slug, that’s who!
