Stiff Richards - "GFC"/"Empty Barrels"


My god! This is how you do a proper return! Stiff Richards, one of our best modern punk groups, had not released new music in four years. New single "GFC"/"Empty Barrels" breaks those years of silence with scorching intensity. Basically, Stiff Richards has made a classic 1977 punk single in 2024! "GFC" is a raging anthem for these fucked-up times. The rawness and fury of that guitar sound gives me chills, and those vocals hit like a punch to the mouth. This tune will have you bobbing your head so furiously that you'll be walking funny tomorrow. On the B-side, "Empty Barrels" destroys everything in its path a la early Black Flag. This is easily the best pure punk single to cross my ears in a few years. Man, they're gonna sell every copy of this 45 in short order. Make sure one of them ends in up your possession!
