SINGLE REVIEW: Rudimentary Paste - That's Why She Lost Her Job As A Blue Peter Presenter

Norwich's DIY foamcore noisewranglers Rudimentary Paste return with their bold new single, "That’s Why She Lost Her Job As A Blue Peter," a frenetic follow-up to last year's intriguingly titled debut EP, Octopus Milk & Other Tall Tales.

Staying true to their unapologetically chaotic style, Rudimentary Paste ramp things up further, delivering a noisy yet irresistibly captivating blend of frantic guitars, distorted vocals, introspection, and their trademark sonic recklessness. This latest track marries abrasive instrumentation with playful wit, reflecting the band's love for the unconventional. Distorted vocals slice confidently through layers of fuzzed-out guitars, and the acapella interludes add surprising depth, highlighting a new facet of their creative flair.

There's a palpable energy here, propelled by a raw, lo-fi charm that underscores the group's DIY punk ethos. Even amidst the chaos, the song maintains a strong melodic thread, proving Rudimentary Paste's knack for crafting hooks just as memorable as they are noisy.

This track marks an exciting evolution from the band's debut Octopus Milk & Other Tall Tales EP. While staying true to their trademark sonic recklessness, Rudimentary Paste continue to refine their sound, crafting music that's compellingly catchy beneath its abrasive exterior.

For fans of unfiltered noise-rock, sharp-edged DIY punk, or simply those craving something fresh and authentically off-kilter, Rudimentary Paste are a delightfully unpredictable listen—and this single cements them as one of Norfolk's most fascinatingly chaotic new bands.
