Bad Dudes - Eat Drugs

The music on this LP, Bad Dudes second, can easily be tagged as party prog, math rocks more care-free cousin. I know that the term is a tad overused by now, but the rush of joy that comes from these brilliant tunes knocks me over in a convincing way every time. With a big grin on my face I sit back and take it, totally amazed. The confident pop sensibility, the shifty time signatures with nothing to prove, the small outbursts of warm, comforting noise and the total freak-out rock bits gives us “Eat Drugs”: the thinking mans frat party soundtrack.

In short: Bad Dudes might have a geeky name, but this is a band that knows what they?re doing as they weave songs for a generation of punks and indie-rockers with an open mind (and a large selection of good records on their shelves). They obviously do music to please themselves first and foremost, but still they?re almost made for an audience that might want to dance a bit.

“Eat Drugs” features appearances by members of Ozma, Upsilon Acrux, Silver Daggers, The Mae Shi, Miracle Chosuke, and Epsilons.
