Across 11 concise, taut songs - most clocking in around 2 minutes or less - Rickshaw Billie's Burger Patrol demonstrates their skillful ability to blend the merciless low end of Leo Lydon's 8-string guitar, Aaron Metzdorf's masterful chordwork on the bass, and Sean St.Germain's driving drumming. Hot on the heels of their breakout 5th studio release Doom Wop (2023), Rickshaw Billie's Burger Patrol returns with Big Dumb Riffs: A whole new variant of the fuzzed out, overdriven, me− lodic, groovy music they have been making since 2016. While Big Dumb Riffs is decidedly more aggressive and rhythmic, it still retains the overtly melodic feel of Doom Wop. But Leo Lydon's vocals are considerably more angry and negative (song titles like "1-800-EAT-SHIT" and "Body Bag" should be a clue.) "The whole writing process was, what if we just played two notes the whole song," Metzdorf says. "What if we tuned down to almost unusable string tension?, what if we write a record that will make everyone say 'wow that is dumb? Leo and I really move around on stage a lot. Being a dingus is cru− cial to the groove. All these riffs were designed to allow us to act bigger and dumber on stage."
