We like about 95% of the same music, so it is nice. There’s just a few bands, on both accounts, that we can’t agree on.
Also, Chris. . . I’ve flown out there for the Retrospectacle and Cold Waves II. It’s your turn to visit!
Um…I didn’t like that at all, especially the “rapping” with the thick Scottish accent bit.
In fact I’d go so far as to say it was…um…bad.
Wow, really? That’s what I LOVE about the track. As Rev. Skarecrow noted, it is VERY Murder, Inc. sounding, which is fine by me. I think Chris’s voice is really cool and there’s something really fun and fresh (yes, fresh like it was when he did the same thing 20 years ago) about the Scottish rapping.
It definitely has an old throwback feel to it, but it doesn’t sound cheesy or forced to me. I like it. I look forward to hearing more and I hope it’s equally exciting and fun.
This track is roughly 8 BILLION times better than that silly hogwash those Primitive Race faggobots are crapping out of their Nintendos.
I like the song too, and I like Connelly’s “Scottish rapping” as everyone keeps calling it. And the music is cool.
It doesn’t feel “modern” like High Confessions did—this instead is very late nineties—but that also doesn’t bother me.
HOWEVER the chorus is bad lyrically and badly executed instrumentally (they need a guitar or lead synth…something else coming in there), the production is so-so, and the song is over-long so I give it a 6.5/10 as a whole.
I’d give it a 5…and a band aid.
Saw a short item with CC regarding Cocksure today:
http://boxxmagazine.com/2013/12/male-boxx-chris-connelly/
I find this particular comment interesting:
“The impetus behind it is Connelly’s feeling that the Cocks never saw their full potential as a musical and aesthetic force. “All of our records were marred by too much indulgence by the band members (myself included) and too much material being cobbled together at the last minute, which was contradicted by the insane amount of time it took us to finish anything.””
HNY everybody!
all true: and I am NOT laying blame, it was no ones fault-I just think we could have explored further-I mean even on a practical level, we always had a lot of sounds for different projects cooking at the same time, even without the dumb behaviour-for example, I always wished that the album “stainless steel” was a different mix to the single-seems like we copped out a bit…
Hi Chris, thank you for the input. I did not mean to make my posting sound accusatory and apologize if it sounded that way. I just found it interesting and really do wonder what ideas were still left on the table. Get over to Cleveland!
but Chris, why would you working with the guy from Acumen Nation have anything to do with the Revolting Cocks?
not picking trouble here, I’m just confused.
Not that it is ANY of your fucking business: but-mind your own business, let the music speak for itself, why don’t you, I don’t remember getting up in your grill about your shit, huh?
(sigh) sorry, really bad mood today, should not have bitten ya nutz off like that
i dig it chris.
come see us in atlanta, ga.
Hell, St. Louis ain’t that far away Chris… I’ll pick you guys up from the Megabus.

Chris, there’s no need to apologize for biting Void in the nuts. In fact, it might help you score non-vanilla points.
lol yeah i enjoyed the nut biting too…i guess i’ll check it out (the song)
Voidhead: we are called COCKSURE not REVOLTING COCKS, Jason has been absolutely instrumental in both the recent cocks reunions-Jamie Duffy (r.i.p.) and then he put EVERYTHING together, technically, which was an enormous amount of cerebral & physical labour, whilst I lamely tried to relearn the lyrics and find a stetson for under $10-he also has a deeply ingrained understanding of our music (he was there at gig #1 in 87) which transcends mine in that I kind of ditched the whole industrial thing after Al’s early '90’s crackathon- Jason is a brother, he lives near me-about 15 minutes drive, and I asked him to do it with me because he is better suited than anyone, no disrespect to the other members, but trying to kickstart something has been tough, and I do appreciate the proximity of Jason.
Cool Chris…I hear ya…bring on COCKSURE.
What kind of name is COCKSURE? Is it supposed to mean something? I keep thinking Erasure meets Revolting Cocks.
Don’t be sure, Be cocksure!

It’s a tribute to Foghorn Leghorn, obvs.
There was a time where that described me perfectly. I love this band more and more.
