Does anyone even like the Beatles? Ask yourself for real! Have you ever actually heard one person ever say one good thing about them? NO! At best, you can say George Harrison made one good album but that’s it. Be honest: you’ve only ever given them credit to look cool, and that’s the truth.

“The world is so square and it ain’t going anywhere.” Tropical Fuck Storm rocked my absolute world with Let My Tires Down and then they made another great record,and then they kind of shit the bed with one record. That is just my opinion. But then they keep coming back with the unhinged and bonkers alternative reality they so beautifully paint. The first two records had art by Joe Becker which only made the whole thing feel even more surreal and alive. Yet sometimes they tell the truth.

Laughing Death in Meat Space takes us down many paths and we walk among many different characters. It at least seems like a lot. Plus if the covers mean anything it might suggest that a lot of voices are speaking through this beacon. I never see the surface level sludge. I see past it. I see in between and through and I notice that every story told shows us so much and different things at different times.

Braindrops I thought was a very strong release that felt like a great tandem experience with Meat Space. The song Aspirin helps me see the major and minor effects of selfish choices. But ultimately it comes down to one thing. Pop culture references are placed so delicately. Like God picking exactly where every chicken pox should go.

The third record was fine and I always go back to it. Things just did not hit for me and that is perfectly ok. It might have been too much of the same thing or just weak writing. But it is odd to say that their next full length is just another TFS record and still way more punchy and exciting sounding.

I cannot wait to see this band live and it seems like if I made a good enough offer I could get them to come stay at my house. So please TFS hear me. Come to Arkansas and hang out and we can talk about that one Drones record. TFS do it yourself Aussie scum. I love you.
