The King

Teenage Fanclub

A chaotic, mostly instrumental detour into noise and grunge. Recorded in a single night, it swaps their famous harmonies for feedback and raw, shambolic energy.

It's the sound of the band getting wasted and making a noise record just to mess with their label.

A reckless, feedback-drenched middle finger that finds joy in sonic destruction.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The feedback-drenched deconstruction of Madonna's 'Like a Virgin' that feels more like a threat than a tribute.
The six-minute motorik grind of 'Mudhoney' where the band locks into a singular, punishing groove.
The sudden transition from sluggish sludge to frantic speed during 'The Ballad of Bow Evil'.
