REVIEW
Supergrass' Danny Goffey
'Everybody's On Drugs'
Our fork in l rating - 5/5
Supergrass’ very own Danny Goffey is set to release his new solo album, “Bryan Moone’s Discopunk," on 21st of October via Distiller. The release will be accompanied by a self-penned, limited edition book about a day in the life of his fictional alter ego, Bryan Moore. Danny’s son, Frank, has brought the book to life with superb illustrations, Three 10" X 8" prints of Frank's drawings will also be included in each Disco Bag. Preorder here
The first track to be released from the album is “Everybodys On Drugs." The track is a proper foot stomper, with a high-energy, punky sound that is brought together with stunningly edgy guitar work. A heavy bass line keeps the song flowing and keeps the ears well and truly engaged. The message of the song, on first listen, appears to be talking about the issue of illegal drugs. Goffey, however, isn’t referring simply to street drugs; he is talking about a much deeper societal issue whereby everyone seems to have an addiction of some sort, albeit legal in most cases.
Goffey shines the spotlight on the hypocrisy of singling out and making scape goats out of one victim of addiction while accepting the more widely used "drugs". From prescribed pharmaceuticals to vapes, from gummies to alcohol, addiction is everywhere and across all ages. Did I mention the vocals? Wow, I can’t believe I nearly missed them out of this review. The vocals are glorious, there is an urgency about the performance that really gets the blood pumping.
Based purely on how catchy this track is, there is no doubt in my mind that the album is going to be amazing. "Everybody on Drugs" is a true work of art.
