“From the same people that bring you ‘Dude, is it gay?,’ ‘Monkey Business,’ and ‘STD News,’ comes the greatest band in all the Universe: TAINTSTICK.” And just in case you were wondering if by some miracle of press releases actually reflecting reality being true the band in question could be better than its shitty, shitty name, I invite you to listen to their track “Apple Juice,” which brings to mind lobotomized old Beach Boys songs performed on the cheapest synthesizers available at Radio Shack, only with new words that are full of slightly stale memes—like rhyming “bacon” with “Clay Aiken”!
The thought that popped into my mind when the song eventually kicked in was “I wish these guys sounded more like brokeNCYDE,” which is something I never thought I would ever ever think ever.
