I really want to use the phrase thrash-brat way more often. I also want to use the words jittery, irreverent and spittle-lipped. These are all terms that real writers used to talk about Raleigh, Virginia’s Whatever Brains. I got sent over Funny / Not Funny Records‘ fall mixtape (which you may remember, I posted already) which included a fucking stellar song called “Cousteau On A Crutch” by Whatever Brains, and I really liked it at first, but since getting put on my Big Playlist (more on that later) I’ve fallen head over heels for these basement punks. ‘Costeau on a Crutch’ is a short-as-fuck, grimy little blast of awesomeness. It has a fucking great guitar riff that has as much of a sinister edge as it does a hard edge, and I promise you it won’t leave your head for days. These dudes are making me believe real hard in what’s going on in Virginia right now (thnx Funny/Not Funny) and while I’m not sure what they’re gonna do with this song, I know that you need it in your life. Keep an eye on these dudes.
