Bastardo

Label: Double Dragon Release Date: 21/02/2005

7732
-Raz- by Raziq Rauf February 28th, 2005

'Bastardo' is a wonderful, wonderful slice of sugary sweet pop rock. The subject matter is however not quite as sweet but you would never have guessed it.

It's probably about a guy called Antonio who shagged her and then pissed off at 4am but it could be about how her beloved guitar got nicked. Which could also be called Antonio. Erm, like, whatever!

More importantly than the crap lyrics are the massive Velcro hooks attaching tiny little melodies to you and it is good! You will sing it and jiggle in your chair!
