Feb 2022 fuzz rock covid-symptoms
@paulh1237 sent me this rock tune to play with and having listened to over and over again somehow the line I can't taste anything in the shouty bits sprung to mind. This reminded me of when my wife and I had the dreaded c19. I had it for about 2 days and recovered pretty quickly, but she had it for quite a while and her common complaint for months afterwards was everything she ate tasted didn't taste of anything.
I went with the idea and this was born.
@paulh1237 - I apologise for my poor taste in tuning.
a fishy sushi
or burger van
a Chinese takeaway
or Indian
I can't taste anything (x2)
at all
I want so very much
to have a home cooked meal
and when i bite down hard
it doesn't taste like I'm
chewing on a piece of card
I want so very much
to have a bag of crisps
and a chocolate bar
and I'm licking my lips
not spitting it across the floor
satisfy me!
I CAN'T TASTE ANYTHING!
a soggy sandwich
a rotten egg
my fucking tastebuds
can't tell the difference
I can't taste anything (x2)
at all
I want so very much
to have a michelin meal
and have it taste like class
I want so very much
for the after taste
to actually last
I want so very much
to put a fork in my mouth
and be really glad
to pick the most expensive meal
on the menu that the restaurant had
I CAN'T TASTE ANYTHING!

Grinning listening to this! The full throat vocals and Paul's gnarly guitar really is a superb combo—have you collab'd before? Sounds a bit like Jane's Addiction in the choruses. Some of the guitar bits actually sound a bit like AtDi but more experimental.
@artie Feb 2022
THIS IS AMAZING! So much flavour! ;) You've brought together so many of the kick-ass textures and elements that I gravitate to in music. The tuning in the chorus just sealed the deal. 100% YES!!
@moonraccoon Feb 2022
Noise, energy and attitude! This was a great listen - thanks!
@owl Feb 2022
Love it, those sludgy sounding chorus guitars are just great and the vocals sound positively unhinged in the best way. I feel like I’ve been swept along by a tidal wave!
@vomvorton Feb 2022
Hahaha this is AMAZING! Such incredible fuzz and the lyrics / vocals match the unhinged energy perfectly. The guitars at the end do my favourite thing, where an already fuzzy song gets another, fuzzier layer of guitars and it reaches another level I didn't know was possible. I want to compare this to Guitar Wolf but I can't remember if they actually sound like this. I'm doing it anyway!

Cracking. Amazing vocal delivery - I love the twin lead vocals - really well done both harmonically but also in terms of the strain in the voice. How your vocal cords are fit for anything after this, I have no idea. Vocal completely suits the huge rock backing.
@faceofeinstein Feb 2022
This is awesome. It's quirky and perfectly out of tune. I'm going to be singing "I CAN'T TASTE ANYTHING!" for the rest of the weekend.
@slusk Feb 2022
What tasteless song :) :) Love it. The riff is great. Reminds me of 80ies alternative band Au Pairs on speed. Are the lyrics Covid-induced.
@dock Feb 2022
Wow! Those are giant guitars! And yes the shouty voice is the only one possible for that thunder and those lyrics! So much energy!
@srcoops Feb 2022
Powerful. Sad outcome of this miserable virus.
@thelowestbitter Feb 2022
Awesome riffage from Paul as always and I love the attitude of seemanski's vocals here, there's a real snarl in them that fits the music and the anger and frustration of the lyrics
@andygetch Feb 2022
Holy moley this has quite the punch lyrically with the direct expression and musically with the solid guitar fuzzy riffs and pounding rhythm. I'm glad that everyone is better.
@ampersandman Feb 2022
This rocks. Top vocal performance! Great lyric idea as well, I am sure many people can relate. I had it too and took two weeks until my senses were fully recovered. Just wish the guitars had been tuned. But on the other hand you could sell it as artistic expression of how off everything feels when one of your basic senses goes missing, and with that in mind the piece is pretty spot on.
@fonte Feb 2022
Love thisss. Crazy gritty madness. The best kind!
@iwilleatyou Feb 2022
This is a collab of great sloppiness. Messy like a messy bedroom that makes mother cringe and yell. Mud. Filthy muddy shoes muddying up the waxed floors. Is there a dance version?
@gm7 Feb 2022
Fuuuunnny and a great challenge song. I'm hungry now!
Sound like high school days...lol
