-ITIS - “AZZ GO BOOM”
-itis formed in Orange County, California 14 years ago. They have put out 11 albums of material, and a four-hour long DVD of presumably enthralling live footage. Eleven albums. That is more than 100 banal songs. They play 200 shows a year. TWO HUNDRED. Nevermind that they usually play five nights in a row at smalltown bar, Midwestsville.
Their most recent album hit my desk about a few months ago. Its title comes from that most righteous of freeway off-ramps, Exit 420.
The seventeen songs touch (unsubtly) on such topics such as drugs, masturbation, “the man,” and more drugs.
Here we have the album closer “Azz Go Boom.” It is a rock and roll slash rap song in the vein of early 2000s nu-metal hits like Limp Bizket’s cover of “Faith.” I try to imagine the setting in which the song was written: how much marijuana went into the song’s genesis? What is the joint-to-song ratio?
Are you the number one -itis fan? Do you make “[azzes] go boom?” Is this song sexy? Will you play it loud while touching yourself in the mirror? I bet -itis would appreciate that sort of proactive reactionary activity.
Don’t forget to check out their (totally original) merchandise.
