It takes a moment for the elements of ‘Babes From Bill’s’ to hit, being such an off-kilter song as it is, but when they do, you find a song that immediately stands out. Quirky, aggressive, and artsy in the weirdest sense of the word.
Based in Cambridge, Canada, Suburban Bicycle Gang are a garage rock duo composed of Eric St-Pierre’s vocals and Jerry Grey’s powerhouse drumming, squished to a pulp on ‘Babes From Bill’s’. A song about an auto repair shop with a spicy managerial sector, ‘Babes From Bill’s’ is a rare display of Canadian raciness.
As for the song itself, Eric’s hearty hollers and the drums, airy and deliciously off-kilter, make up for a mix that’s unlike anything else out there. The riffs are bluesy, and hectic, and do not fail in injecting the song with a playful liveliness. ‘Babes From Bill’s’, features Alex Hilson on the bass, and being the city councilor member that he is, his bass grooves are spunky and infectious.
Such a delightfully different sounding song, Suburban Bicycle Gang’s latest release will easily earn itself countless repeats, adds to playlists, appreciative head bobs, and generally a lot of simple vibing along.
