SINGLE REVIEW: Mapache - Boring People Get Bored

'Boring People Get Bored' is more than just a punk anthem; it's a poignant commentary on drug addiction, with the band aiming to raise awareness about the risks of recreational drug use. The title serves as a sarcastic jibe at those who perceive themselves as cool because they indulge in drugs.

This perfect Cockney punk banger emanates a blase, confident punk sound, delivering a pummelling and raucous listening experience. The song is a protest, frantic and charged with killer hooks that are catchy as hell. The guitar-driven instrumentation, backed by thunderous drums, creates an intense sonic backdrop.

The vocals, wonderfully raw, contribute to the song's rebellious spirit. In the latter part of the track, a football terrace chant vibe emerges, adding a communal and spirited feel. The song seamlessly blends the classic British punk of the 70s/80s, akin to The Clash, with a more modern transcendent edge reminiscent of bands like Idles.

'Boring People Get Bored' stands out as a modern punk anthem, ablaze with fiery energy and an unapologetic punk attitude that demands attention and resonates with its powerful message.
