\"\"<\/figure>\n

Being a “comedy” band is a lot more difficult than it initially seems. As stupid as The Bloodhound Gang seem, there’s a fine balance that has to be addressed between gross-out humour, borderline offensiveness and quirkiness that they’ve undoubtedly mastered. Guttermouth<\/b>, on the other hand, seem a bit less sure of themselves – on new EP ‘Got It Made’<\/i>, the extent of their incredibly broad strokes seem to gravitate towards poor sex jokes and frontman Mark Adkins’ obnoxiousness.<\/p>\n

We’ll give them this, they’re at least merciful – they tend to keep their songs around two and a half minutes so it’s over pretty quickly, and in terms of skate-punk instrumentation they’re pretty much passable. But that’s more or less it, as ‘Got It Made’<\/i> just feels in poor taste from start to finish. Opener ‘The Point’<\/i> is perhaps the safest song here in that it’s more asinine than anything else, but then there’s ‘Old Man’<\/i>, which features the line “Your wife is an inbred”<\/i>. Lovely.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

But while that’s bad enough on its own, the whole thing is amplified by a blanket of stupidity that’s completely unavoidable, as on ‘Freckles The Pony’<\/i>. It leaves a horrible concoction of immaturity and mean-spiritedness everywhere – at least when Blink-182 used to go on about fucking dogs in the ass, they at least showed some songwriting chops elsewhere; Guttermouth<\/b> don’t even have that.<\/p>\n

That’s really what sends this EP plummeting down. Apart from some solid instrumentation, there’s nothing that Guttermouth<\/b> really do to redeem the utter banality of their lyrical content, and the whole EP just feels unlistenably stupid. But saying that, this is<\/i> a band who have a song about B-52’s frontman Fred Schneider auditioning to join The Doors, so what do you really expect?<\/p>\n

2\/5<\/p>\n

‘Got It Made’<\/em> by Guttermouth<\/strong> is released on July 15th on Rude Records<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
