With a pumping drum beat and a strange but eerie backing that elicits your interest almost immediately, Mad Painter’s vivid and wacky classic rock interpolation on Rock and Roll Samurai is as weird as it is inspiring. The way the arrangement cascades, this sort of strange yet building pitter patter has you piqued and intrigued from the word go. As the song builds and that energising and furious chorus comes crashing down onto you, the entire air of the song reaches a new height, an almost inescapable fury that fills you and has you yearning to take on the world anyway you know how to do so.
Furiously fun, with a very keen attention to detail towards classic rock epithets and structures, Mad Painter deliver something that’s decisively old-school yet quirky and coated enough to be a powerful modern hit nonetheless. Rock and roll that’s fun as hell.
