AccidFerry Get Groovy With New Single “Monkey Dance”

November 13, 2023 — Leave a comment

Liverpudlian prog-rockers AccidFerry released their latest single, “Monkey Dance,” on November 4th. The band describes the track as “a laid-back groove that [lead guitarist/vocalist] Krawczyk had hidden in his closet for 10 years.” It is all that and more.

According to AccidFerry’s Facebook, “Monkey Dance” will be used to kick off gigs, and I can’t think of a more perfect intro. The song hits the ground running, a simple funky beat setting the tone for what’s to come. Quickly joined by matching bass and guitar, the band builds a groove that is sure to get listeners moving.

The lyrics reiterate the statement the music seems to be making, encouraging the listener to move all night long and promising to “keep the groove alive” – a vow that is delivered throughout the entire 4:04 run time.

The standout portion of “Monkey Dance” for me began at 2:39. AccidFerry throws in a guitar solo, followed by a bass-heavy breakdown and a brief jam session to close out the track. I was definitely feeling the retro vibes for the final 1:25 of the song.

Overall, “Monkey Dance” is a fun and catchy track that will have you dancing and shamelessly singing along. The talent among this group of musicians is undeniable, and while the solo is the most obvious, there are a lot of interesting things deftly woven into the bigger picture. (Pay attention to that bass!)

You can listen to “Monkey Dance” on Spotify, or whatever your favorite major music platform may be. I’m also embedding the audio here, via YouTube.

And don’t forget to give AccidFerry a follow on their various socials!

Bands You Should Know: The Space Turtles

October 23, 2023 — Leave a comment

Defining themselves as an “indie rock/funk/grunge band,” The Space Turtles hail from Long Island, New York. They are fairly new on the scene, but with their firing-on-all-cylinders determination, The Space Turtles are rapidly gaining momentum. The trio implements a variety of influences and musical backgrounds, which means you’ll hear things that are reminiscent of bands such as Weezer and Nirvana, but also Red Hot Chili Peppers, a touch of Nine Inch Nails, 311, and more!

The Space Turtles released their Tough Call EP in late 2022 and have been booking shows throughout 2023.

My favorite track from the band is “Ghost Plans,” which is the second song on the aforementioned Tough Call EP.

And, just in time for Halloween, The Space Turtles dropped “Spooky Shit,” a fun and funky song that honors all those things we love about October!

Follow The Space Turtles on their socials and your favorite streaming platforms to keep up with all the cool happenings!
