The 10 Best Halloween Bangers, according to PoundlandBandit
You may be familiar with PoundlandBandit through his Instagram page: as a meme-lord, he delivers crushing insights into the cultural minutiae of society, making you and everyone you know feel completely, utterly seen. As well as constructing sharp take-downs of people who live in Clapham and love sportswear, though, PoundlandBandit is also a DJ, favouring an ’80s Italo-disco vibe whenever he spins.
Having already graced the airwaves of Rinse, Balamii, NTS and more, he’s set to play a Halloween rave at The Curtain on November 2nd for the aptly-titled Night of the Living Memes, where he’ll be joined by Jarreau Vandal and Shy One on deck duties. In anticipation of this horror-filled night, we invited the man himself to list his favourite spooky bangers that he’ll no doubt be dropping on Saturday.
“A golden oldie to get you in the mood for a Munsters DVD marathon.”
“Beautiful track, ’nuff said really.”
“If you don’t listen to The Cramps 365/24-7 and not just on Halloween, you’re a grade-A shmuck, buddy.”
“One of my favourite songs of all time, odd lyrics, fast, aggressive and pissed off. Classic Misfits tune.”
“Loud, weird and everything that falls under those two categories, this band absolutely rips.”
“This will make you want to watch Return Of The Living Dead for ten hours straight while hammered.”
“Another classic, a doo-wop influence mixed with some spooky undertones.”
“Brings back nostalgia of the scene in The Lost Boys when they first drive into Santa Karla. Also a good song anyway.”
“They remind me a bit of Alkaline Trio. Slow, bass-heavy but can surprise you with some great vocals when need be.”
“You can’t knock a good bit of ’50s Sci-fi style surf punk.”
