Drums Of Death Got Yr Thing (Greco-Roman)
2/5
By: Bronya Francis
Well, how deceptive: the gory zombie artwork decorated with ghostly skulls, along with Colin Bailey’s pseudonym, suggests that this will be an extremely heavy rock or metal record, consisting of a lot of screaming or roaring of sorts. However, the closest thing you get to a scream on this single is what could only be described as a ‘woop’, followed by a disturbing grunt, over laddish banter.
Commencing with a synthesized introduction, fake hand claps et al, this song then continues with what could only be described as a mad faux-American Scottish bloke rapping “I’ve got yr thing / You know the urge / No time for games / Just body sweat.” Body sweat? That’s not very pleasant, is it?
‘Got Yr Thing’ is essentially a drum machine and synth loops mixed with demeaning sexist rapping. Even though Drums Of Death is favoured by seasoned dance demons such as Hot Chip and Peaches, I haven’t really got what his ‘thing’ is all about.
