72 Blues are back with (She Likes The Fux) Like Electrolux, the follow-up single to their debut CD Said I Would (released last year) and as you would come to expect from these noise merchants, they do unspeakable things to the blues – things that leave your head ringing and your body wanting to hump the speakers.

Reggie and Lizzie Ray (72 Blues, Konqistador) have taken a buzzing electro axe to their brand of fucked up blues-rock and the result is a killer tune that oozes sleaze, sex and, more importantly, TALENT. The distorted, fuzzy vocals are present, but don’t make the mistake of thinking that distorted and fuzzy equals nice and fluffy. I mean distorted and fuzzy in a punch-in-the-face kind of way.  

The musical break of this song is utterly fantastic, with some of the downright dirtiest, most rocking guitars you will hear this year and you’ll be hard pressed deciding whether to stomp your feet, attempt some mean air guitar or howl at the moon. The culmination of this and the repeated ‘She likes the fux, like electrolux’ makes for a searing ending. B-sides include a fantastic cover of ZZ Top’s Just Got Paid and a live version of My Name.

72 Blues have succeeded again and again in making unapologetic blues-tinged rock with plenty of attitude and not only is this single no exception, it is a warning that the band is back in full force and you’d better watch the hell out.
