UK duo Getdown Services make danceable indie rock, but they also really love doom metal. If you doubt it, Josh Law and Ben Sadler made us a list of their Top 5 songs in the sludgy genre, including tracks by Om, Weedeater, Acid King, Crowbar and more. Watch them talk about it below.
Meanwhile, Getdown Services have shared a funky, infectious new single, “Radiator,” just ahead of their spring North American tour. “This song is about only picking fights that you know you’ll win,” says Josh. “It came about because the heating wouldn’t come on once and I thought about when we bang things to make them work. Ben once told me that he used to threaten his PlayStation 1 when games wouldn’t load quick enough. The sense of victory you get when you feel like you’ve physically intimidated an inanimate object into doing what you want is bizarre and pathetic and really funny.”
The song comes with a fantastic video directed by JJ Jarman and starring Daisy Kennedy (who co-conceived the video) and Hannah Mullen as two Getdown Services superfans. Watch that below.
Getdown Services play Brooklyn’s Elsewhere on April 16 with opener Problems. All dates are listed below.
