GET CAUGHT IN FIGHT AMP’S “FLY TRAP”

Listen, I hope you kids are saving up your shekels, ’cause you are going to have a LOT of truly righteous new music to buy this fall. I mean, I’m pretty fucking cynical about this shit, and even I’m feeling a little overwhelmed right now.

One release you should definitely have on your radar: Birth Control, the third album from Fight Amp. The hilarious title and cover art (the crown made of butter is the funniest, most observant, most biting commentary on modern America I’ve seen in some time) alone should be enough to pique your interest, and this should be enough to secure your purchase: the new song “Fly Trap” is streaming over at Pitchfork.

Needless to say, the tune rocks, and it rocks hard. I mean… that BASS dude. It’s positively ball-rattling. And each drum hit feels like a broken neck. But the brutality of the song is counterbalanced by its grooviness — there’s no way thing isn’t gonna get your booty shakin’. I don’t even really wanna be writing this anymore; I wanna be drunk and headbanging to this song with Vince and our friends.

Listen here, then celebrate the arrival of new Fight Amp in the comments section below. Birth Control comes out September 25 on Translation Loss.
