SINGLE REVIEW: DAVES - Fools United
When the world feels like it’s on fire, DAVES are here to pour petrol on it. ‘Fools United’ is a protest song that doesn’t just take shots at the establishment—it aims straight for the jugular. Released early to coincide with Elon Musk’s messy political debut, it’s as much a reaction as it is a rallying cry, full of frustration, fury, and a refusal to sit down and shut up.
From the get-go, ‘Fools United’ is an all-out assault. The guitars don’t just crash—they snarl, fizzing with a reckless energy that feels more like a riot than a song. The drums aren’t just played; they’re hammered, pushing everything forward with an almost manic intensity. And then there are the vocals—half spat, half screamed, dripping with the kind of venom that can only come from genuine, deep-seated anger.
There’s no polish here, and that’s exactly why it works. Everything about ‘Fools United’ is snotty, messy, noisy, and full of attitude. It’s got that pure DIY punk spirit—the kind that doesn’t care if it sounds pretty as long as it gets the message across. And the message? Loud, clear, and completely unfiltered. The gang vocals make it feel like a movement, like a room full of people yelling at the top of their lungs because they’re sick of it all. It’s raw, chaotic, and completely in-your-face, but that’s exactly what makes it so effective. A proper, old-school protest anthem that doesn’t just complain—it fights back.
