Fuck Authority
This afternoon, instead of spending my time in a useful fashion, I was forcibly put in detention. While sitting here, not permitted to do anything but my homework, I decided I would start a new post. I began to think of what music I'd want to be listening to in detention. And these thoughts began to mesh with my current hatred of all authority figures. What do you get? We'll, I give you electro punk.
Probably made most famous by the Bloody Beetroots, electro punk is a subgenre of electro that takes all of the core ideals of punk (anti-rhythmic rhythms, harsh lyrics, and insane decibel levels) and meshes that with electronic synths and beats. The bloody Beetroots have achieved the epitome of this with their newest project, The Bloody Beetroots Death Crew '77, which removes Bob Rifo from behind the DJ tables and gives him a microphone.
Overall, electro punk is a very pertinent new form of electro and I highly recommend trying it out.
Check out these tracks from SLUTTT, Cyberpunkers, and Designer Drugs, all electro punk.
I Made This Song For Dim Mak Tuesdays in LA - SLUTTT
All Congo - All Leather
Warp 1977 - The Bloody Beetroots
Ill to Destroy - The Bloody Beetroots
Fly By Night (Cyberpunkers Remix) - Cerebral Vortex
Fuck the System (Designer Drugs Remix) - Cyberpunkers
Drop Down - Designer Drugs
Love Get Out of My Way (Designer Drugs Remix) - Monarchy
And if any of you were wondering, this is what a punk rave would look like. Fast forward to 1:16 if you wanna see only Beetroots
With Love
