“Come look into the eyes of a landslide…”
Slug and Ant are back to do what they do best-capture the pain of the everyday working man and provide a moment of solace for that pain, like a pack of cigarettes and a cold six pack at the end of a day. We get three stressed out, blue collared verses from the heart over a Blues/Rock infused beat. Slug had this to say about the video:
“… about how the legend of Paul Bunyan began. Babe wasn’t really a blue ox, it was a blue axe. but the northern accent made it sound like ‘ox.’ Blue from the blood of the evil Canadian soldiers. It was filmed on the northern Minnesota iron range.”
The video release also marks the start of The Welcome To Minnesota Tour with Atmosphere, Toki Wright x Big Cats, No Bird Sing, deM atlaS, and Jimmy2Times. As for the Paul Bunyan and Bob Seger connection? Maybe it’s a Seger sample. Maybe Seger kinda looks like Bunyan to Slug. Or maybe there doesn’t have to be a reason.
You can buy your copy of the track HERE. And be sure to get your tickets to their tour HERE.
