REEL BIG FISH – I DARE YOU TO BREAK MY HEART
Californian ska-punk sextet Reel Big Fish hit Colchester Arts Centre next Tuesday, 14th August, so to get you in the mood, here’s the video for a track from their new album, Candy Coated Fury.
Candy Coated Fury – which has been received rather well by people who like that sort of thing – is the band’s seventh studio album, their first in five years, was apparently almost called Honk If You’re Horny and features a ska-punk reworking of British indie band The Wonder Stuff’s 1989 hit Don’t Let Me Down Gently (for comparison, you can see the original version “live” on Top Of The Pops right here).
According to RBF’s frontman and songwriter Aaron Bennett, I Dare You To Break My Heart was influenced by The Darkness and sounds like Kiss. We’ll leave you to judge for yourselves whether you can hear traces of either.
