FAWM: "I Think You Suck"

I Think You Suck

NSFW

Liner Notes

i have a list of potential snotty sounding song titles. "i think you suck" was one of them. today i wrote that song. it's definitely not about anyone in particular...but when you see the lyrics, you will know exactly who it's about.

i think this could be an XRAY XEROXX song. i played all the instruments. the drums were played on a midi keyboard. i used my fender jaguar into a Sonicake preamp/fuzz and a Mosky spring reverb pedal. i used a sansamp tech 21 fuzzy brit with the fuzzface style fuzz for the panned guitars i used the same fender jaguar into a Boss OC5 octave pedal for the bass

sorry for the lazy video. i had something edited together of old vhs tape stuff and youtube blocked it and i did't have time to do a better one than this.

i am trying to finish an actual music video for a new xray xeroxx song. i'm releasing a new seven inch record (and cassettes) this week and i'm finishing up last minute things, like editing a music video

You got that right: I do suck. This made me laugh. To state the blisteringly obvious, you do not suck. The crowd will be singing along to this one. Love it!

Really like the way the vocal delivery, especially in the verse, kinda alternates between more drawn out phrases and punchy things that are one or two syllables. Another monster jam!

So good to hear the revival of this punk-sound, says the old 1976 punk. I was focussing on Australian bands at the moment like the Chats and the Unknows. But now I’ve got a new favorite: Xray Xeroxx. Love it! Thank you for the real punk!

It’s definitely not about anyone… but also it’s a Trump song 🤣 I think you’ve captured the prevailing mood far more articulately than I could. Thank you, this was cathartic to listen to!

Hell yeah! Great mix of melody and classic punk chantiness in the verse -- I love the "but i got news for you" delivery.

The bridge really ups the rock-factor leading into the final chorus. Great stuff as always dude!

I'm gonna guess you're not doing the selfie video recordings this year because it's impossible to play such bangers sitting down

@anthonykapfer 1w

it’s funny you mention that. since last time, i’ve been practicing playing the foot drum pads while i’m standing up. i want to do some one man band live takes on some of the songs at some point so you can see

It’s me isn’t it? I came on too strong…it’s cool I DO in fact suck…real bad.

I do love this snotty lil stinker thing you got going on. Everything about your sound is perfect to me. You’ve got such a great voice and you encapsulate punk energy and cactchy song writing so damn well. I’m so jealous but not in a toxic way…idk I fuckin love your music and I want to hang out with you and maybe be your guitar tech/body guard that you eat in n out with. I’m a man that knows what he wants 🤷🏻‍♂️🖖🏻
