Winnebago Deal - Did It, Done It, Doing It Again

The title of the latest single from Ben and Ben the bassless men (aka Winnebago Deal) says it all, really. Like pretty much all the other material on the Dead Gone album it's plain and simple, stripped down, dumb-ass punk rock with no bass guitar.

It's short and it doesn't break any musical boundaries, or even try to, but in Winnebago Deal terms this is positively prog rock, having a keyboard part - albeit one that only plays one note for about 20 seconds. If they carry on like this they might even start entertaining the idea of a bass player...so how long till we get the orchestral arrangements and the extended drum solos?

Anyhow, this song is catchy as hell, full of infectious energy, humour and comes highly recommended. Just get the album though, it's all great - then listen to the whole thing whilst sat on the sofa with a mate doing Beavis and Butthead impressions. You'll enjoy it all the more...

This is a download only release.
