Traffic Jams: Tropical F*** Storm - 'You Let My Tyres Down'
Traffic Jams: Tropical F*** Storm - 'You Let My Tyres Down'-October 2024
2024-02-19 EST 22:12:05

If I love one thing, it’s a good story. If I love two things, it’s a good story paired with huge, messy, super-noisy guitar riffs and friends; Exemplified by of a song by Australian supergroup Tropical Fuck Storm (the singer and bassist both made their bones in the also-excellent band ). It’s called “You Let My Tyres Down,” and the riffage is undeniable.

On the story front, this song has everything. It’s got (which I had to Google the first time I heard it), , Chinese food, casual drug use and even someone getting mauled by ants. It’s generally a good time, and when paired with the towering, fuzzed-out guitar riffs, it’s one hell of a great driving song for 90-plus degree summer evenings on a Los Angeles freeway with the stereo set to full-on danger-to-manifold ear-bleeding volume.

“You Let My Tyres Down” is the opening track on the band’s debut album, , which was put out on the band’s own Tropical Fuck Storm records. They’ve since released a pair of other full-length records – and – as well as a handful of 7-inches.

If you find this vibe appealing, I also recommend which serves as the B-side for their Soft Power 7-inch.
