There seems to be an array of talent holed-up in Scotland. Perhaps it’s that dreary weather and bitter cold that inspires bands to warm the cockles of music fans with creepy alt-folk, off-kilter indie, and raucous rock. Fat Goth fall into the latter category, that being “raucous rock,” and raucous is perhaps somewhat of an understatement. Fat Goth pack a massive, brass knuckle sized punch.
“Creepy Lounge” is the second free download offering to be lifted from their forthcoming album Stud. Fat Goth are a band that sound unafraid to dive balls-deep into the alt-rock melee, strangle it to pieces, and drag it out kicking and screaming. They take the best of The Jesus Lizard and McClusky and amalgamate these into a glorious cacophony of gnarling vocals, hectic beats, and heart thumping bass lines.
After the release of “Debbie’s Dirty Harry” in October and now “Creepy Lounge,” this is sure to have left people salivating for more. For the last few years, it has felt as though bands are a little scared to turn on and crank up their guitars, so having Fat Goth pave the way for big, bold, brazen tunes with extra balls is just what the doctor ordered.
