Liner Notes

https://flic.kr/p/2oeFiSS

This song represents my mental state as fawm begins. Pissed off at how my year has gone, absolutely ready to find some good and some success in this community. Powered by absolute anger.

It's also a homage and a tribute to the excellent band, Guitar Wolf, and japanese garage rock in general. At one point I even translated the lyrics into japanese before i thought better of it.

The guitar here is being played through a Triumph cassette player and the vocals through a telephone mic running into a fuzz pedal I got from Wish.
The bass is DI.

Lyrics

Just give me a win for fucks sake
I've suffered enough let's make some noise
Adrenaline pumping ATTACK ATTACK
clench your jaw until the molars crack

Just give me a win
Just give me a win
Just give me a win
Cos i need something
Just give me a win
Just give me a win
Let's go
TORA! TORA! TORA!

he took my music away from me
I need to take it back NOW
My music GIVES ME SO MUCH JOY
I've run out of tears to cry

Just give me a win
Just give me a win
Just give me a win
Cos i need something
Just give me a win
Just give me a win
Let's go
TORA! TORA! TORA!

"Just give me a win/Cos i need something" - you've tapped into the hungry collective soul with that! This embraces the "TORA! TORA! TORA!" energy. May this FAWM give you the first of many wins.

I so much want you to release this to buy. I must have this in my collection. The angry attitude and energy in this is just amazing.

@thefuneralcrasher
Yikes! You don’t half give that some welly…there’s 14 songs worth of attitude in this one alone. Brilliant!

Absolutely Butt kicking song. Love that nasty punk feel. Fantastic!

I love this. Gives me big Butthole Surfers energy. Vocal treatment is especially filthy and perfect.

@motorcitymusicman
Great punk tune! The driving guitar perfectly matches the rage of the lyrics.

@cblack
Fuzz vocals... Damn, that sounds great! Such an aggressive sound which fits the lyrics. This is great!

@girlsinuniform
Punk energy, you can feel the attitude in the vocal. Scary distortion, but I still felt like I was in safe hands.

That guitar tone is wonderfully fuzzed out and raw ... love it. This is real garage punk, with anger and distorted vocals and lots of attitude. Reminded me of "Funhouse" by The Stooges!

@charliecheney
Wow, this is super visceral and awesome. I love your in performance micro-edit of "the sound" instead of "my music" too, for some reason that hit me really hard, like thrust my fist in the air and scream "YEAH!" hard. So great!

@funnypunkband
I love the tones! The low fi aggression suits the lyrics. Great attitude. Can't wait to hear more from you.

@silvermachine
Such a sweet sound, the fuzz and the fury. Savagely wonderful.
That setup of yours is producing 1920s shellac gramophone punk. Loved it.

This song makes me want to get drunk and fall down the stairs which, I assume, is your end goal with any tune you write. It sounds like your channeling Billy Childish at points in this!

@jackketch
This is right up my street. The title drew me in as I loved the film 'Tora Tora Tora' as a kid, and the garage rock vibe is definitely in my wheelhouse. Hope this song signifies a better start to the year for you bud.

This is so deliciously raw it would make Gordon Ramsey disintegrate. I love it!

@kanttilamusic
Helll ya, love the energy of this. The guitar gets down to the bone, the smashing beat keeps it going and the distorted vocals fit perfectly to express the emotion of this track, awesome!

@frozenlonesome
Fuzztastic and nice lofi vibe. The title grabbed me as I have fond memories of seeing Tora! Tora! Tora! in the theatre with my dad.

@kahlo2013
Hey, this rocks! Love the drive, distortion, angst, and emotion! Raw! Wonderful! I want to drum to this!

Angst channeled through distortion: is there nothing sweeter in existence? You nailed this. Awesome start for FAWM!

See You In The Shadows…

@vomvorton
Hell yeah! Love the sound here, you've totally nailed that Guitar Wolf vibe - I had to turn it down, lol. Cassette guitar and telephone vox! Amazing.
