Deathray 2,940 Posted February 2, 2020 Oh dammit that means I'm up...... A typically violent tool related song from this eponymous modern punk band with 3 UK Top 40 albums (although all in the 2010s which may be out of many on here's remit) who's lead singer broke from a moderately successful noughties hardcore punk band (a top 40 album and a top 40 collab single with Lethal Bizzle of all people) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Deathray 2,940 Posted February 2, 2020 ^And just in case anybody needs any more clues, the top 40 collab with Lethal Bizzle song by the lead artists of the active band's former band was a cover of a top 40 song by late 70s/early 80s punk band The Ruts...

I'm assuming by 'put in some effort' you mean 'googled' because if Frank Carter is suddenly big in Germany (or Polsnd?) this world no longer makes sense. Your turn....

Well, I googled that rapper.... and then that feature song with that band... and then the former members, and then that band (had to check several people AND bands...) and then the song on that album.... Okay, next song.... biggest chart success of this Welsh musician. The video is about twice as long as the song and contains 44 uses of the word "fuck". The song itself only has one intelligible line, in french. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gcreptile 10,967 Posted February 4, 2020 Okay, it's the late 90s, like, very late. In spite of it being the biggest hit, it was only Top 20, not Top 10. But it's still regarded as a classic by many critics and listeners. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gcreptile 10,967 Posted February 4, 2020 I have made a mistake...ahem... while the musician has made use of the Welsh language, he isn't welsh himself... more like Cornish... (sorry) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

To be fair, I spent a lot of time trying to think of songs that just repeatedly screamed the word 'fuck' until I read the clues properly So...to follow this up, this next song is from a Welsh act. It's a fairly high tempo rock song that was boosted in popularity by being featured in a PlayStation game. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TQR 14,387 Posted February 5, 2020 Nah. This song is faster-paced than that. Similar in terms of age though, maybe only a year or two later. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TQR 14,387 Posted February 5, 2020 The song was the last this band did with their original drummer. It broke the Top 20 twice, first as a B-side, in the early 00’s. It was the theme song to an equally fast-paced game. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
