It’s been a while since we’ve featured a new song from “doom wop” trio Rickshaw Billie’s Burger Patrol. Their 2024 album Big Dumb Riffs was a good time, as we featured a number of singles off that studio effort. This morning, the wait for more good times from RBBP are back again with the release of “Peaches”.
I’m not going to make any Presidents of the United States jokes about peaches or cans or men in factories downtown, because this track is its own thing. It’s a fuzzy, irreverent song that after reading the lyrics, I’m pretty sure is about butts. Or maybe the song’s an audio Rorschach test and I’ve just outed myself to the entire world.
Either way, “Peaches” is a hook-laden trip, full of fat ass riffs and a simple, if easy to sing along, vocal line. There’s just something about this band that takes a simple riff and turns it into an entire song without feeling repetitive or unimaginative. They know their sound, they know their vibe, and they’re sticking to it. The band opines that its melody would “make Green Album-era Weezer jealous” and honestly, that’s pretty apt.
Set for official release when the band’s next album CA$H GRAB is released at a later date, this little anthem is going to be a hit live, which is great because they have a whole mess of shows coming up. If you’d like to catch Rickshaw Billie’s Burger Patrol live, you can do so during their ongoing ‘CA$H GRAB’ headlining tour. You can find the full list of dates below and get your tickets today.
