YAWNING DOG - SINGLE REVIEW

Yawning Dog - Don't Be Shy, Vlad 
Yawning Dog - Don't Be Shy, Vlad

Stoner Grunge Punky Monkeys. That's how Yawning Dog describe themselves on Facebook and, as far as self descriptions go, this is pretty enticing to me. The enticement lead me to discover that these Yorkshire lads have a song by the name of 'Don't Be Shy, Vlad' which deserves some attention from all of us. The two and a half minute beast starts with some channelled distortion and then a riff kicks in that is part Nirvana, part Mudhoney and part early Biffy Clyro. Grunge with a groove, if you will, but also with maniacally distorted vocals and drums that could just as well b found propping up a Weezer tune on a Friday night. This is pretty tasty stuff and, yes, stoner grunge punky monkeys is probably as accurate a description as you can get for this brand of messy, shambolic but utterly delicious distorto-pop.
