The Best Indie Songs of 2015 - Animal House

Animal House Figure It Out (May’15) is a rollicking number. It should make their bones. Bands count songs as good as this on their thumbs in a career. Resembling a mod-sounding sixties rock hit but with some quirky psych pop stylings and lashings of new century indie. Here’s looking at you, the ever fucking present  Strokes. Shit it’s better than them but.

 

 

A song as simple as the title suggests, Figure It Out comes screaming into the world kicking arses, taking no names, nor prisoners. And not striking any poses. This is rock’n’roll at its finest, a hard-on in a pair of well worn leather pants stinking of pussy, weed and whiskey. A head banger with an indie bent. You are a straight up shit-shovelling dick if you don’t realize Figure It Out is one of the best indie songs of 2015.

 

 

Figure It Out is the second single from a garage rock band who fight out of Brighton, England, by way of Brisbane, Australia. These young heroes have been playing together since 2014.

Shit you need to know:

Of the tune Figure It Out Clash Music opined it’s a, “...deliciously outrageous piece of riff-laden guitar pop. Stuttering and brawling.”

The Four Oh Five called Figure It Out  “snarling” and “attitude-laced”.

Circuit Music said it’s, “An undeniably infectious and ramshackle garage-pop singalong”.

Animal House have been compared to The Strokes and The Libertines.

Animal House have also been mentioned as similar to early Kings of Leon.Animal House have supported Courtney Barnett and The Preatures this year.

The other Animal House song is Sour. It’s fucking good too.

The dirty double dip is from 1960’s pop rock band Dave Dee, Dozy, Beaky, Mick and Titch. It’s Hold Tight (1966). It’s a tit ripper.
