βElectric Callboy. I should not like this music, but I can't get enough of them. My first exposure I kept repeating, "I shouldn't like this." But I do. Their hooks, breakdowns, and timing shifts hit that aural sweet spot for me. I wish I could explain it, but I can't. They are a unique genre band (partycore) I didn't know I needed.β
βI'm an absolute metalhead, play drums and I remember hearing Blow for the first time and thought - I need to just funk around to that. Excellent song to have fun with as a musician. Reminds me I'd like to do a cover of it .β
