Rivals - I'm Not An Animal

I'm Not An Animal cover art

It's the weekend. Or if you're in France, le weekend. Anyway, wherever you are, welcome to it and I hope it's been nice to you so far, brought you breakfast in bed and perhaps a little fondle under the duvet.

Today thegeneral would like to introduce to Rivals - and once again, it's another brilliant act who are releasing on Tiny Lights Recordings (tagline - yep, you've guessed it - DIY as fuck). Now then, this is another heads up. The single isn't actually out until 28th October, but you can mosey on over to the bandcamp page below and have a look:

tinylights.bandcamp.com/album/im-not-an-animal

Listen to the song while you're there, too. It's a metally-slightly grungey-rocky-powery-poppy-punky effort with great lyrics and an energetic vocal:

"Never forget that weakness is the thing that keeps us human"

Which to be honest, no matter how it's bellowed at you, speaks volumes - and as thegeneral is in a bit of a headfuck at the moment, there's never been a better time to remind yourself that this statement is very very true indeed. Gosh, if you ever need waking up or bringing to, then this is the record to do it (especially if you've been lucky enough to have a fondle under the duvet. HAVE YOU??? WELL HAVE YOU??? OWN UP...)

So head on over and give Rivals a listen. The 7 inch vinyl run of the single is limited to 350 copies only, so get in there quick sticks and pre-order if you know you want it, as the band's debut single "Wax" sold out super-duper fast when it came out earlier this year.
