With a swampy groove and a greasy tongue XII Boar (Pronounced 5 Boar.. he he) have stormed back in our lives with this killer new single which has been released just this week after a shock announcement just 2 weeks prior. I knew a debut album is coming but this is a great way to get the fans excited, expectant and salivating for that collection of new tunes.
It is a fine tune to boot with a stomp and groove very reminiscent to friends Desert Storm yet with the XII Boar’s they do what they manage best, and that’s to add a flair of fun to the song with lyrical tales of making “love” to a wonderful toothless whore at the back of a petrol station. It’s a great return and as mentioned before its just made me all the more excited for the album.
Now for the B-side, when hearing it was a reworking of track ‘Train Wreck’ I initially thought it was potentially a bit of a lazy move just replaying an already killer song on an acoustic BUT how wrong was I!! This really steals the show and is almost unrecognisable from the original, a real sludge lounge classic (that’s if that is a thing)
And what’s more, if the 2 great tunes aren’t enough to get you involved it comes on a wonderful coloured vinyl, it has a CD version of both tracks too (for those amongst us that buy vinyl but don’t have a turntable) and loads of awesome stickers too! And if like me you are a sucker for Trucker caps there is a package that comes with that too do get your hands in your pockets and get spending!
