Bringing back the sheer energy and grit of rock and punk, with a vocal and production twist that’s easily distinct – Stoke-on-Trent band Whooligans deliver a distorted anthem of simple, nostalgic listing and confident scorn for the rat-race.
I Don’t Like Mondays is every bit as anti-mainstream as its title implies, but offers a simple, catchy melody, and lyrics that satisfy but also prove unpredictable as things roll along.
Featuring a huge instrumental introduction, akin to the old-school rock days when the band set-up was just as crucial as the leading voice, Whooligans showcase a clear passion for the fun and escapism of the genre, and at the same time underline their own prowess for memorable, quirky songwriting.
I Don’t Like Mondays achieves a strong balance of effective traits with this release, and it’s one from a repertoire of increasingly interesting lyrics and consistently upbeat, impassioned hooks. The band are working through a niche with authenticity and fun – a niche much less covered than it used to be. Let this track hit your playlist when you need a little relief from the working week.
