2. What kind of song is it?

The song is a cute, whistle along tune that embodies the essence of making fresh, joyous, discoveries. 


7. What are SKEGSS best songs? 

Spring Has Sprung is the best but L.S.D. isn't too shabby.


8. Any more words?

“Spring has sprung in the summer,

All the girls take their clothes off”






Dune Rats are a garage punk band from Brisbane, Australia. They have been playing together since 2011 and have recorded the two albums. The Dune Rats are similar to FIDLAR, Violent Soho, Wavves and SWMRS. They are influenced by FIDLAR, The Ramones and Cloud Nothings. Bullshit (May'16) was a stand alone single and a banging, singalong, punk party anthem.

“Everything you say is bullshit”
