Drools “Fools In Hell”

“Fools In Hell” undoubtedly makes a strong impression as the debut single from Swedish punk rock four-piece Drools. Fueled by their restless, eclectic energy and unapologetically straightforward attitude, Drools is the type of band you fall in love with at first sight.

“Fools In Hell” is a stadium filler. You can imagine the crowds going crazy, screaming “you, yeah you” with the band while pointing their rock n roll signs up in the air. The song is not complicated. It’s simply good music. Punchline guitar riffs and machine-gun drumbeats join the fire of group vocals while the guitar glitches and sparks electricity. What’s not to love? That would be a hard question.

The band reveals that they got the first lines from Turbonegro’s song “The Age of Pamparius.” They probably inhaled some magic dust from the song as well. “Fools In Hell” is just as lit as “The Age of Pamparius,” but on the side of rock n roll and punk, Drool’s single is clearly more fun. It’s rebellious and youthful rather than aggressive.

The more you listen to Drools, the more texture you’re able to catch within their music. For example, the first time, you notice the catchy melodies and loud soundscape, but the second time, you begin to see how the band is engaging with the audience.

By the third time, you’ll see that “Fools In Hell” is not just a simple punk song, Drools put in thoughts in their structures and thematic riffs. They are serious rockers and they clearly know how to seize the day.
