The Soviets - I Gotta Go (Single)

**mark191082** · 01:09 PM

Ah! The Soviets. There's nothing quite like knowing communism is alive and well in Scotland. Wait... that's not the case? They are not chums with Stalin's grandson? It's just a name apparently. The burning question here is though.. Can you cossack to the single? Well it's not unimaginable but i would expect more 'whoops' and 'yee-ha's' than men crouched down with their arses on the floor if this was on.

'I Gotta Go' rolls along like a freight-train with a nice fat bluesy stomp that's hard to resist nodding along, stomping your feet, or in my case perform finger drumming (something i excel at). Vocalist Stephen Law rasps away throughout in a faux americana/scouse accent as if he's eating Marlboros and gravy, and the whiff of blues off those guitars is full on and effecting him.

There's nothing original here and it falls into that category of track that just seems to loop over and over rather than change structure at any point but then that's for the Radiohead's of this world and not reserved for the rhythm'n'blues on show here.

If you like straight forward rock/blues then sit back put the kettle on and tune into The Soviets.
