EYE FLYS - Tub Of Land LP
Eye Flys is a band centered on fierce precision. Due in part to the considerable pedigree of the bandâs lineup (including members of Full of Hell, Backslider, Triac), the east coast-based quartet create steel-barbed riffs and beefy inventive rhythms delivered with exponential force. Their 2019 EP Context was a concise and punishing debut, hinting at the unrelenting abilities Eye Flys holds. On Tub of Lard, expectations are exceeded with 10 songs of maximum impact in their lean and focused raw power.
Tub of Lard does not hold back lyrically. The album takes its title from a jeering and unwelcome schoolyard nickname of vocalist/guitarist Jake Smith. Opening track âTubba Lardâ finds Smith spitting back the insults and body shaming that he endured during his upbringing. This unvarnished truth-telling is central to the albumâs commentary on our social hypocrisy and resulting abuse. âNice Guyâ takes aim at rape culture and misogyny in no uncertain terms with lyrics like âThey just donât want to fuck you / No one cares that youâre a nice guyâ. âPredator and Preyâ lashes at the military industrial complexâs manipulative coercion of people of lower economic means. Anxiety, agnosticism, distrust, and psychedelics are all invoked when questioning society and culture. The themes throughout the album are driven by Smithâs search for deeper meaning in the chaos and uncertainty of the world around him. In their hunt for a more equitable society, Eye Flys are happy to demolish any opposition they encounter.
