Currently making their mark over in Texas at SXSW, Glasgow’s Rascalton have left a little something behind in the form of new track ‘Eddy’, released via Council Records - and which is an early B-side release to forthcoming single ‘Employee of the Month’ set to drop next month.
The four-piece follow last year's ‘CSC’ EP, with another huge dollop of their trademark high energy onslaughts. “My name’s not Eddy, don'tcha know” vocalist Jack Wyles impales over 1 minute 38 seconds'of compulsive guitar-driven thrash.
“We received a text one day saying that an imposter was using my photo on their tinder under the name ‘Eddy’," says Wyles, adding detail to the song's inspiration. "We joked about writing a song about it one night with the chorus being ‘my name's not Eddy’. One of our pals, Jokey, came to us with the idea for it and it wrote itself from there. Catfishing is pretty weird. Eddy, if you’re reading this – fuck you."
Scheduled for April after their US return, Rascalton play La Belle Angele
in Edinburgh on April 13.
