With songs ranging from peadophilic fantasies (Cream of the Young) to decimating a family friendly resort (Bomb Disneyland) and frontman Lias Saoudi's tendency for outrageous on-stage antics (he once wiped his own shit on his forehead before diving into the crowd) it's easy to see why South London's The Fat White Family might not appeal to everyone.
But if you can get past the slightly questionable subject matter (in this case, getting a blowjob in a car), they produce some uniquely chaotic and unpredictable music. A sleazy, chugging guitar line throughout keeps the sound grounded up until the 'five sweaty fingers on my dashboard' refrain. This is where the songs descends into total chaos with Lias' frantic, blood curdling wails contrasting completely against the cool 'ba ba ba' backing vocals and wedding-esque bell chimes. Despite being quite possibly the most debauched, deranged and down right disgusting band in music at this present moment, The Fat White Family don't half make a good racket.
