Moose Wrench-Not My Name
Moose Wrench are an experience in rock that challenge the norms. Sure, you’ve heard the several genres and the various sub-types they have. How does any of it matter when you’re having a good time listening to a song? This band comes together just with the purpose of giving us the good time rock n roll. This is their latest cover single, Not My Name. I have to give kudos to the band for the name. I’ve heard of a monkey wrench, maybe this one works better. If you go through their catalogue, you’ll realise how fun listening to their songs are. Their 2021 album Dead Stars has such catchy and fun music, you’ll forget when your road trip started and ended. With this single, they use a tight bass groove, around which the lyrics come spoken word. You find yourself moving to the percussion and minimal background music. Count yourself as a fan like me if you start saying “That’s not my name” constantly. A brilliant cover, Moose Wrench. The Ting Tings would be proud. It is a fun movement, a play in rhymes and styles-just overall groove mastery. You’ll feel references to War’s Low Rider in the part where the vocals draw back. Action movie, here we come! This song would be great in The Bounty Hunter (2010). With cool sequences and a humour laced plot, there is a lot to enjoy in the movie and this song. Moose Wrench surely have more prepped for us, so follow them for more like this! That is their name.
Moose Wrench - Don't Let Me Down
You go into a track expecting melody and respite from the world but Moose Wrench is bent on giving us an experience with Don’t Let Me Down. The track is anything but mainstream and unlike anything you’ve ever heard before. This techno dream ballad falls between rock, techno, experimental and pop. The track makes you wonder what the creation process was like. This is not new for this dream team at all, creating unique ear-worms has always been their forte. The track begins with the slow swagger creep of beats, and from then on, it’s a steady climb upwards. This banger of a track has an evolution of genres within the span of 4 minutes. This also speaks to the exquisite craftsmanship of the producers in the chord progression department. We also hear the track swell in size with the textures throughout. With distinctive sounds that are brought in, right from the trickle-like sound at the beginning to the rock vocals. Half the song is world-building, you hear the lyrics only once we hit the two-minute mark. You don’t even realize the lack of words because the music speaks loud here. This track would be perfect in Coraline or at least a new-age iteration of it. This film is known to have given nightmares to so many people. But the imagery that is painted in both the novel and the film is deeply unnerving and a true work of art.

Moose Wrench-Not Dead Yet
Moose Wrench are here with another solicited treasure. Luckily, they are hiding all this in their backyard, for we have another treat to gorge on. This is their latest EP, and it has a rocking echo to it that will fill the hangars and halls of the world. This one is called Not Dead Yet. Sure, there could have been any poem that Moose Wrench could have begun this escapade with. However, they go at it with Dylan Thomas, and the narration might be a distraction. As you marvel at the poetic flow of the leaden words, Directionless Twat has already begun vibrating. As “rage” loops over, you’re in the midst of the rocking riff that has to kick off the festivities. The band doesn’t hold back, creating a pastry of shred and hard rock soul. They decide to go prog-rock this time, and you’ll be following through the entire time. Vocals are like a grizzly bear’s whisper, and bring all the potential energy to level the ground. In all the revelations of rock Ginnel Dick has big boots to fill. After that opening song, you’ll be craving more. More is what Moose Wrench give you. The FX heavy guitar opens up the gates to a rock rhapsody that lasts a perfect length. There is a punk residue in this song that maintains that speed and tenacity that the band’s execution is known for. If that had left a taste of gunpowder in your mouth, then the psychedelic aura here should change it all. You’re subjected to a tangy, sweet flavour with Don’t Let Me Down. You can hear all of this be delivered to you as a musical, and that might bring some strain of reality with this music. The band must have torn down the studio wallpaper to bring some real daylight and neon lamps to work with. This is a result unlike any of their prior releases, while showing their listener’s that they must prepare to be on their toes. Moose Wrench want to adjust the groove to some different sizes, and they are one size fits all. Leaning into the mania Not Dead Yet goes punk, and if you’re counting, I’ll help you out. The band has shown a spectrum of about 4 different sub-genres in the 4 songs they have performed. All have been worth enjoying for how exciting the essence is. Dingleberry Fyn is just something of a treat for being a good little listener. Here, you get to lose your shit, and the song supports it to the max. Their 2021 album Dead Stars is worth listening to just to enjoy the beautiful textures this band can produce. They are performing delicate ballet with dynamite, and to us it all looks great. This EP would be great for Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels (1998). The Guy Ritchie directed movie needs something of this calibre to be perceived as the mishmash of eccentricity it is.
