lyrics
We got hot ash and fire
Dust, dirt, and smoke
Can't dance for rain
When the air makes you choke
I'm runnin hot, I'm feelin dry
Give me a goddamn drink before I die
Midday sun beating down on me, but
Fuck the sun, let the night set you free
People taunt me
They spit on my boots
Ghost haunt me
Down to the roots
Yeah, laugh it up, call me a liar
You dry brittle brush, you're just fuel for the fire
Evening sun is quite a sight to see, but
Fuck the sun, I like my privacy
At last the darkness
I cast for a spell
Blood red skies
And the toll of a bell
Well, you know by now, the moon's my friend
Now down on your knees, watch my magic unbend
Sun's dead in the ground, they sing the eulogy, but
Fuck the sun, 'cause the sun don't shine on me
Combining crooned murder ballads with raw, angsty hard rock hooks, Melbourne's The Ugly Kings are a wrecking crew well worth watching. Bandcamp New & Notable Sep 15, 2021
To me this is like 70ies Heavy Metal in nearly all aspects. I can understand the comparisons to Motörhead but to me they don’t really sound like them, except maybe for the Heavy Blue style lead breaks. What they do have is the drive, gravelly vocals and swagger of Motörhead. This they have that in buckets. Super fun Heavy Metal/Hard Rock that just doesn’t age. Harry Harrison
