Punk goes Beatz: remix for Work Horses vs Show Ponies

Beware; this is not for the close-minded!

We were asked by DJ Native if he could make a remix for our song “Work Horses vs Show Ponies” from our latest album “Perspectives & Objectives”. Being real adventurers and always interested in experiments we obviously agreed and sent him the tracks needed. What came out can not be labeled, but one thing is certain: we’re happy to hear a totally different yet amazing version of our song and we’ll never be able to re-enact this live. So enjoy the mix and the video!

If you’re interested in making your own remix of one of our songs and you need tracks (or anything else) from us, get in touch!

Better late than never, especially when it’s a killer review like this one: Punknews.org wrote a review of our latest album “Perspectives & Objectives”.

Stolen Riffs And Borrowed Song Titles; the outcome

Two weeks ago we started this reference challenge. We realized it was quite something to ask people to actually read and think about song lyrics. But it was fun to see people actually do it and come up with interesting (and sometimes unintended) references. Thanks for thinking along!

Tim Jansen from Zuid Scharwoude (NL) came up with most correct references, as you can check below. He wins a discography+shirt. When we release another album we will repeat this challenge with fresh lyrics and references, so keep an eye out!

 

Winning references:

With Gaga On Our Side refers to With God On Our Side by Bob Dylan

Mother Inferior > Mother Superior by Good Riddance

Waste = Food > An Inconvenient Truth by Al Gore

Chinese Takeover > Chinese Democracy by Guns ‘N Roses

So Much More > Girls, Girls, Girls by Motley Crue

Benefit of the Doubt’s “Socrates always was right” > “I know that I know nothing” by Socrates

Another Guide’s “produce what you can and consume in so far you need” > Karl Marx

The Dog Ate It! > Dividing Lines by Adhesive

Spoken quote before I Hope You Got My Letter > The Shawshank Redemption

Welcome To Le Jungle > Welcome To The Jungle by Guns N Roses

“Stolen Riffs and Borrowed Song Titles” – get a free discography + T-shirt

As you might know, there’s 2 things we love a lot: 1) using references in our songs 2) giving away things. Let’s combine!

We will send a discography package (CD/LP) + T-shirt to the person finding the most intended references in our songs. You may include songs from all our albums, using both musical and lyrical references. 2 examples: Song title “Welcome to Le Jungle” refers to the Guns ‘n Roses song “Welcome to the Jungle” (who would’ve thought?!). The intro of “The Dog Ate It!” is a musical quote from Adhesive’s “Dividing Lines”.

You can find all our music and lyrics on our website.
Please email us your references, admission closes on April 1st, no joke!

So, Bring It On!
