With a whole new generation of Bovver Boys coming to the fore (Hard Fi, Dustin's, Young Offenders Institute), now may be a good time for Audiobullys to take a cheeky sidestep in their career to avoid being seen as the Phil n'Grant Mitchell of the music thug world (ageing, slowly losing their powers).

And, ignoring the fact that, thanks to Mike Skinner, we actually have the real Mitchell Brothers on the scene, this is what the two South West Londoners have done. Fusing the voice of Nancy Sinantra to a radically re-worked version of 'Shoot You Down' (as made famous by Tarantino's Kill Bill films), it all sounds a bit more dapper and elegant than most things off of their 'Ego War' album out two year's previous. Which is a good thing, because you don't want to stay in this game too long; there's always someone else looking to take you down for your top dog slot...

Audio Bullys - Shoot You Down

This is the worst song i have ever heard

Audio Bullys - Shoot You Down

this would be much better if the sample wasn't so lazily obvious.

idiots.

Re: Audio Bullys - Shoot You Down

yeah. its a good beat i guess, but the sampling of Nancy is terribly lazy.

Audio Bullys - Shoot You Down

My god they are crap.

Audio Bullys - Shoot You Down

I thought people stopped making this bollocks in the 90's.

Audio Bullys - Shoot You Down

They went to my School! And My College! They graffed in the Music Tech studios!

They're shit.

Audio Bullys - Shoot You Down

hmm, the faux uk-garage was more palateable, this sounds like they tossed it out on their lunch break. as noted above, its shit shit shit!

Audio Bullys - Shoot You Down

this song is criminally shit.

Audio Bullys - Shoot You Down

Top tune. Takes me back to the glory days of Skint and Wall Of Sound when dance music was a bit cheesy but fun.

Re: Audio Bullys - Shoot You Down

Are you deaf?
Ah, you're defending the new Oasis album too.

So you ARE deaf.

Re: Audio Bullys - Shoot You Down

I'm not deaf in the traditional sense of the word, no, but I am def in the Leppard/Jam/II mid-80s sense of it. Although only in one ear. The bottom one. Thankfully that's the one I listen to music with. The other one I use to intercept phone calls for top secret MI5 business that I'm not permitted to talk about. Although the conversations I've heard between Thom Yorke and Abi Titmuss would make your average Radiohead fan's eyes bleed.



Re: Audio Bullys - Shoot You Down

Seriously....are you on Channel 4? Or have you not yet got past failing miserably on the comedy club circuit?

Audio Bullys - Shoot You Down

It's terrible, it's like...dodgy garage bit they came up with, whole chunk of original song completely unchanged, repeat to end. Fucking awful.

Audio Bullys - Shoot You Down

Mr 'The_Glory' is not alone in recognizing that this is actually rather top. For all the cheese, it certainly got the Homelands festival jumping early on in the day (unlike our good friend Pete Doherty who decided to trash his equipment in a blaze of self-indulgent glory). Good fun.

Audio Bullys - Shoot You Down

I'm pretty sure it's Shot You Down. Anyway, this song is pretty bad, the use of sampling is not very creative. I like the video though.
