Boychucker by Rocket From the Crypt
“Is this bluesy? I'm not sure. No expert on the blues. Blues songs just kind of sit there; four minutes later you're in the same space. Not this song. This is a rocket-ship ride, a fist-fight complete with an intermission, a battle to stay upright in a drunken mosh pit. This era of Rocket (the early era) is marked by a pretty limited melodic palette (there are, what, four notes in this song?) but also lots of chromatics. (That's notes that don't fit in the scale. So, mistakes. But they sound great.)”

I'm just barely technically alive this morning, but for 3 hours of these guys live? Worth it. "Boychucker" by Rocket From The Crypt is my new jam
Perhaps their finest two and a half minutes.
Sound isn't great, but this is exactly what they looked like the other night in Glasgow.
