Bang Bang Rock & Roll

Art Brut

High-energy indie rock fronted by a man who talks his way through catchy, self-aware anthems. Shambolic, witty, and unapologetically unpolished.

May 23, 2005 · Alcopop! Records

A high-energy celebration of amateurism and the sheer joy of being a music fan.

Moments Worth Listening For
The meta-proclamation of 'Yes, this is my singing voice' during the opening track's climax.
The frantic, repetitive chant of 'Modern Art!' that mimics the sensory overload of a gallery visit.
The sudden, jarring transition into the 'White Light! White Heat!' refrain during the title track.
