So Fed Up

For fans who want their rock 'n' roll wild, weird, and handmade-Bloodshot Bill is back with So Fed Up, his brand new album on Goner Records. He recorded So Fed Up straight to tape at his own SIN Studios, the way he always does it: fast, loud, and in control. This isn't a collection of love songs-it's a series of warning shots, a swaggering set of tunes from someone who's been through the wringer and comes out swinging on the other side.A one-man rock 'n' roll wrecking crew that is equal parts wild-eyed '50s punk, greasy garage rock, and untamed hillbilly howl, Bloodshot Bill hails from Montreal, where he's known for his raw, lo-fi sound, frantic live shows, and immutable outlaw energy. As his reputation has grown, Bloodshot Bill has been deemed a musical wildman, a primitive, a seminal punk, a throwback to the wild '50s, and the deranged spirit of psychobilly madness.Since his first self-released album in 2001, Bloodshot Bill has churned out seventeen more LPs and over thirty singles-including collaborations with King Khan, Mark Sultan, Deke Dickerson, Shannon Shaw (Shannon & the Clams), and the 5.6.7.8's. From a suitcase full of self-recorded tapes, he's built a feverishly prolific body of work that digs deep into the raw roots of mutant rock 'n' roll. With So Fed Up, his nineteenth studio album, Bloodshot Bill keeps the fire burning. Written in the aftermath of a breakup and a barrage of unsolicited advice ("Cut your hair?"-come on), the record crackles with the defiance of someone who's had enough and isn't shy about saying so. Relationships-rocky, romantic, and everything in between-have always fueled his craft, but here, there's a new sharpness to the storytelling. These songs don't just smolder-they cut. Think homemade shiv, or a shard of broken glass: raw, improvised, and dangerously effective.So Fed Up is Bloodshot Bill's fourth album for Memphis-based Goner Records, hot on the heels of the critically acclaimed full-lengths Come Get Your Love Right Now, Get Loose Or Get Lost, and Psyche-o-Billy. He recorded the whole thing solo, the minute each song was written. No waiting. No overthinking. No compromises. Just raw sound and gut-level emotion. "I want people to feel good," Bloodshot Bill says. "And I want them to wanna listen again and again." No comparisons needed. Just Bloodshot Bill, telling it like it is.
