Stop Ya bitchin'
Finn
“Stop ya bitchin' it's all too late”
- CD -
Independent release
This NSW trio features Jim Finn on drums and vocals,Paul Surany on guitar and Michael Lynch on bass. I was not too sure what to expect when the CD cover warned, “this cd contains language and opinions that will offend some listeners,” not may offend, will offend! Match this with a pic of three crusty old rockers and I didn't know what I was in for. What a great surprise to have an album that keeps you hooked in from the first track and doesn't let go.
The original songs are reminiscent of Matt Taylor's most laconic work, full of humour and politics. “Dumbing down” being a stand out track about all the things going on in this country that no one seems to know, or care about. “John Howard, who's your master,” “War,” and “Reefer Madness,” all in a similar vein and also a song about feeding the poor “FYPYF” which gets the full Ian Dury treatment, language included!
This trio is not afraid to play good music and do not try to fit into any genre, with a great reggae version of “House of the Rising Sun” being a wonderful example.
I'm sure this band would be a real hoot live, but you might have to visit Sydney to find out.
