Massachusetts rockers Adios Fatso are charging into the new year with a burst of raw energy, unleashing their latest single, ‘WTF’. After a productive 2024, which saw them champion their ‘No Cap’ album, launch a much-praised vinyl edition, and deliver a string of live performances, the band are back with a track that promises to shake things up.
‘WTF’ plunges into the murky depths of "crab mentality," a phenomenon where those around you try to pull you down to their level. In true Adios Fatso style, the lyrics are ripped straight from real-life experiences, offering a gritty, unfiltered take on personal struggles. The band are known for their honest, no-nonsense approach, and this new single is no exception.
The track was crafted at the renowned Blasting Room in Fort Collins, Colorado, where industry veterans Andrew Berlin (Descendents, Teenage Bottlerocket, Rise Against) handled the mixing, and Jason Livermore (NOFX, Propagandhi, Lagwagon) took charge of the mastering. The result is a potent mix of punchy instrumentation and powerful vocals, creating an anthem that demands your attention.
Clocking in at just under two minutes, ‘WTF’ delivers a rapid-fire blast of sound that's designed to stick in your head.2 In a nod to modern listening habits, the band acknowledges the ease of repeat plays, encouraging listeners to hit that play button again and again. Upon closer inspection, the song reveals a unique blend of influences, fusing the melodic sensibilities of '50s and '60s pop with the raw edge of '90s alternative rock. This unexpected combination creates a modern rock anthem that feels both familiar and refreshingly new.
For those who prefer a visual experience, Adios Fatso have also released a video to accompany ‘WTF’, offering a further glimpse into the track’s themes and raw energy. The band are poised to make 2025 their year, and ‘WTF’ is the perfect explosive start.
