Scuzzy alt-rock
Raw, scuzzy alt-rock single from London four piece, Antlered Man, the band's list of influences, including the likes of Melvins, Dead Kennedy's and QOTSA may give you some idea of their direction but perhaps not how huge they can sound. "Surrounded By White Men" spits bile and has a heavy rush of off kilter riffage and raw, distorted guitar noise; aggressive and quirky from start to finish with dark throbbing bass, a very rich, almost claustrophobic sound and topped by a varied and solid lead vocal, this is an addictive track that you'll find yourself replaying. The b side is probably the best version of bubblegum pop song 'Sugar Sugar' you will ever hear; it actually sounds bearable here, slowed to a laid back pace and coated with lovely distorted guitar.
