| Kunt and the Gang |
There’s two ways to approach listening to Kunt and the Gang. One is to bemoan the very existence of an act like this (Kunt himself, ventriloquist dummy Little Kunt, an imaginary third member now departed and 80sesque electronic backing), as vile and offensive, not realising to do so is akin to trying to shoot an admittedly foul-mouthed messenger.
The other is to relax that po-face for half an hour or so and enjoy some of the funniest lines to grace pop music for many a year – I say pop music, but this filth has no place in the mainstream – and realise that KATG is encouraging us to laugh at him, not with him, and, in doing so, laugh at ourselves. KATG’S songs are a reflection of the society we have created, and inhabit, whether we like it or not.
There’s probably little point in analysing each of the six songs which make up ‘One Last Wank And One Last Cry’, other than to confirm that yes, true to form, they’re puerile, disgusting, infantile and ‘a bit too much’…
Suffice to say, though, that if you were trying to conjure up a list of names to exemplify the title ‘Men With Beards (what are they hiding?)’ could you better Kunt’s ‘Shipman, Bin Laden, Stilgoe – Haystacks!’…?
A lot of people will hate this. More, however, will, say they hate it, whilst chuckling internally at tracks like ‘The Illegal Download Song’ - ‘cos every time you share our files/ the evil God of download smiles/ and a little deformed baby cries/ tears of blood from his Jap’s eye’. Others, like me, will opine that KATG are the most important act to come out of Essex since… er… Iron Maiden. Or Depeche Mode. Or Alison Moyet.
