Recorded \nwith Steve Albini at Electrical Audio, \u003ci\u003eGreat News!\u003c\/i\u003e is the sound of punk \nfolding in on itself and racing through sounds you might have previously\n identified with dumb genre tags like post-punk and possibly even \nno-wave - except this isn’t either of those things. It rages smartly and\n discordantly across a wide terrain of undulating rhythms and \ncoruscating rifferema, eventually settling on something that’s… well, \nkinda uniquely Daddy’s Boy.\n\nSo what makes this sound? Specifically, four humans who are too clever \nto simply follow the ‘three chords, now form a band’ template without \ntrying to fuck up the corners (and work their way into the centre). \nMembers of Split Feet, Retreaters and Fake Limbs pile up together to \ncreate this delicious cacophony, and you’ll be glad they did. When \nvocalist JJ Skolnik intones, “I’m so fucking important,” you know it’s \ndrenched in venomous irony, but it’s difficult not to agree: \u003ci\u003eGreat News!\u003c\/i\u003e\n feels like a record that’ll last way beyond those ‘best of the year’ \nlists and continue to pulverise your eardrums for years to come.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt’s the sort of record that felt like the future when Touch and Go Records pushed hardcore past its knuckleheaded limitations 40 years ago, and still feels like no one ever really caught up. It’s the riffs from Cows’ \u003ci\u003eCunning Stunts\u003c\/i\u003e, cribbing notes from Crass’ \u003ci\u003eFeeding Of The 5,000\u003c\/i\u003e, with vocal delivery pitched to ‘gloriously matter-of-fact’. Oh, and no spoilers, but in Skolnik, Daddy’s Boy might just have one of the smartest lyricists in (questionable) hardcore right now. Mark my words, this is some record. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Drunken Sailor","offers":[{"title":"LP","offer_id":50530130592075,"sku":"2180747","price":19.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/Great_News_88634f66_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1728072732"}],"url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/collections\/daddys-boy.oembed","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
