Body Bag 02:34
You better put him in a body bag Funny little dude Killed himself And put himself inside a little body bag Pouty, tiny guy Crying over "nothing" Trying to be Mama's little twinkle in her eye Boy, the boy is stressed Gonna need the defibrillator on his chest His father didn't want him in the first place But he came in first place Mama mama mama I'm about to have a heart attack Mama mama mama I'm about to have a heart attack Mama mama Told me I would die and I'd never come back Mama mama Said it and I thought it was a fact I love you but you didn't say it back You better put him in a body bag Heart attack You better put him in a body bag You better put him in a body bag Heart attack You better put him in a body bag You better put him in a body bag Heart attack You better put him in a body bag You better put him in a body bag Heart attack You better put him in a body bag You better put him in a body bag

about

“Our catalog has never been short on big dumb riffs, but the idea on this record was to really turn the screw,” says RBBP bassist Aaron Metzdorf. On Big Dumb Riffs, that screw is cranked incredibly tight.

“We just wanted ‘the part’: The opening of Pantera’s ‘Primal Concrete Sledge’, the breakdown in Primus' ‘Pudding Time’ — the shit that makes you move and lose your mind. Just that part the whole time.”

Across 11 concise, taut songs — most clocking in around 2 minutes or less — Rickshaw Billie’s Burger Patrol demonstrates their skillful ability to blend the merciless low end of Leo Lydon’s 8-string guitar, Aaron Metzdorf’s masterful chordwork on the bass, and Sean St.Germain’s driving drumming.

Hot on the heels of their breakout 5th studio release Doom Wop (2023), Rickshaw Billie’s Burger Patrol returns with Big Dumb Riffs: A whole new variant of the fuzzed out, overdriven, melodic, groovy music they have been making since 2016. While Big Dumb Riffs is decidedly more aggressive and rhythmic, it still retains the overtly melodic feel of Doom Wop. But Leo Lydon’s vocals are considerably more angry and negative (song titles like “1-800-EAT-SHIT” and “Body Bag” should be a clue.) And while there’s

“The whole writing process was, ‘what if we just played two notes the whole song’,” Metzdorf says. “‘What if we tuned down to almost unusable string tension?’, ‘what if we write a record that will make everyone say 'wow that is dumb’? Leo and I really move around on stage a lot. Being a dingus is crucial to the groove. All these riffs were designed to allow us to act bigger and dumber on stage.”

Big Dumb Riffs will be available for streaming and download on March 22, 2024. LP to follow in late Spring.
