Having showcased their more introspective side on ‘I Wish It Didn’t Bother Me’, ‘Evil Tap’ is a resounding call to arms, a full-throttle hard rock hallelujah against the daily miseries of late stage capitalism. As vocalist Ben Sadler states: This song is about the nature of repetition and how it feeds into everyday life. I wrote this song when I was in a particularly dissatisfied place. Working all the time whilst still not having enough money to cover the essentials is a fairly standard experience and, as is the culture in the UK, I tend to turn to drinking or reality tv or material goods or whatever as a distraction which obviously only ends up making things worse. How can there be one fix for 69 million people, and the fix that’s offered is simply ignore it. That being said there is comfort in repetition and routine, and finding a nice middle ground with anything is important. The world has evil on tap but learning to stem the flow and bend it, much like an avatar, is the key to becoming the master of the elements. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGetdown Services have long been known for their raucous live sets, and ‘Evil On Tap’ has long been a tubthumping favourite of audiences. Although not the only rock’n’roll track on \u003ci\u003eCrisps\u003c\/i\u003e, which often barrels through different genres at breakneck speed, it is perhaps the purest testament to their headbanging roots. But ‘Evil On Tap’ is also hardly out of place amongst the canny twists and turns of their debut. As expected from previous singles, there’s plenty of their signature apocalyptic disco, most notably on the title track, but veins of proto-punk, new wave, krautrock, electro and even gospel also weave through the record, each new experiment giving the listener a little more insight to the arcane, acrobatic minds of Josh Law and Ben Sadler. It’s the portentous sign of a group determined to make their mark on the UK\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Breakfast Records","offers":[{"title":"Black LP","offer_id":50782837047627,"sku":"2227802","price":24.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/Crisps_97af4d35_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1731045119"},{"product_id":"your-medals-in-the-post-primordial-slot-machine","title":"Your Medal's In The Post \/ Primordial Slot Machine","description":"\u003cp\u003eIf you thought rising fame would dull the laser sharp wit of Getdown Services, then think again.

Massive Champion and has genuinely irresistible thirteen tracks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAn odyssey of anarchic joy, seditious wit and boundless energy, the album finds Josh Law and Ben Sadler pushing deeper into the singular world they have been building for years, while opening up new emotional and lyrical ground. Written in green rooms, on long car journeys and in the gaps between relentless touring, it stands as their boldest and most expansive statement to date, an ode to childhood, British cultural detritus and the absurd poetry of everyday life, distilling everything that has made Getdown Services one of the most exhilarating and unpredictable bands around. In the band’s words it is “about self pity and realising that maybe all of the healing your inner child stuff you hear about isn’t actually total bollocks. Musically and lyrically I think it’s about us trying to clean up our act a bit.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNew single ‘I Can’t Die Like That’ provides the second taste of the album and is the kind of instant earworm built for festival crowds. Wildly infectious, it is quintessential Getdown Services, pairing huge hooks with the band’s perceptive and poignant lyricism. As the band explain, “‘I Can’t Die Like That’ is about the feeling of simple things becoming complicated. We thought it was interesting to think about the ways in which something as straightforward as dying can be difficult. It’s also about clinging on to feelings that comfort you but aren’t necessarily healthy.” Like much of Massive Champion, it finds catharsis in contradiction, meeting often heavy subject matter with both candour and humour.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA triumph of hard work and the grassroots scene, Getdown Services jokingly coined themselves Britain’s Best Band. With Massive Champion, it feels less like a punchline and more like a statement of intent. As their audience continues to grow exponentially both at home and across the world, they look every bit on a fast track to becoming one of the country’s biggest and most vital bands. Joyous and utterly singular, Massive Champion feels set to soundtrack the year ahead and, very likely, many more to come.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Breakfast Records","offers":[{"title":"LP - Yellow Ripple \/ Rough Trade Exclusive","offer_id":57370034536779,"sku":"R5271-3294","price":27.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"LP - Transparent Lime","offer_id":57367295918411,"sku":"R5271-0658","price":24.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"CD","offer_id":57367295951179,"sku":"R5271-4369","price":11.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"LP - Highlighter Yellow","offer_id":57370441810251,"sku":"R5271-4486","price":29.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"LP - Beer","offer_id":57370441843019,"sku":"R5271-1118","price":29.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/5f59c0ab-4199-7666-0fd9-f19352e3e2fe.jpg?v=1779134275"}],"url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/de\/collections\/getdown-services.oembed","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
