I’ve been meaning to share this Rx Bandits song for a while but I kept getting sidetracked. Well, no more – it goes up today or the blog comes down! So if you’re reading this, then I remembered. Anyway, these guys have got some upcoming Australian and US tour dates – check their site for more details.

We might as well keep moving in the slightly askew vein with this Rafter track, which features some very NSFW lyrics (so attention those of you listening at work headphones-free). It’s got funk and the vocals make the attitude almost sound sweet. A nice blend of contradictions.
