SiM, the reggae punx from Japan, have just dropped the video for ‘BBT’, taken from the band’s 6th album ‘PLAYDEAD’.
‘BBT’ is everything you want from a SiM track- air punching rhythm, singalong chorus, plus reggae and metal breakdowns. Opening up with the maybe all too relatable lyrics “Wake up, take a shit, smoke, caffeine, take a shower… it’s fucking boring!”, the band are hitting some raw nerves here. The tongue in cheek lyricism is teamed with a slightly more political edge, encouraging listeners to get out of their metaphorical cells, and do what we want.
