MY SON THE BUM
'
Flipside of a Fairytale
(self released)
My Son The Bum is back again with another collection of infectious grooves and
mind-bending guitar riffs on
their latest album titled "Flipside Of A Fairytaleā€¯... challenging your ears and your mind. The opening musical
track "Money Is The Whip" grooves underneath lyrics which tap into the universal obsession, the almighty dollar.
As with all My Son The Bum albums there are plenty of musical influences to grab you. The band paints their canvas
with splashes of classic metal guitar riffs, funky grooves, blues, straight-ahead rock. ..."Speed Chase Towards The Grave"
is possibly the most emotionally driven song on the entire album. It's written from the point of view of someone who is
helplessly watching a loved one racing towards an early death at the hands of drug addiction. What makes a great rock
and roll record is whether it can connect with the common emotional threads that connect us all. We all chase money
in search of happiness, we all feel as if we're going crazy at times, we all have moments of despair, helplessness and
time clearly waits for no one. So open your mind and crank up "Flipside Of A Fairytale". Your inner-madness awaits.
