Part Chimp: it’s noise-rock, play it loud!
by 
|Let’s take a road trip, just you and me. We’ll stop at every dive bar and truck stop from here to Minneapolis, and crash on dirty, beer-stained couches in the houses of people we barely know. We’ll wake up every morning, struggling to remember the night before or what city we’re in, and hit the road again. We’ll only have two albums in the car: Slayer’s Reign in Blood and Thriller by UK-based noise-rock trio Part Chimp. Years from now, when we’re settled down in mild-mannered burbs on opposite sides of the country, with our kids and wives and jobs, we’ll look down at the faded tattoos on our arms-dancing hotdogs wearing sunglasses with the words ‘BROS FOREVER’ underneath — and know that we had truly lived.
