Hear Vundabar Interpolate Mission Of Burma’s “That’s When I Reach For My Revolver” On Their Latest “Tonight I’m Wearing Silk”

By Rob Arcand

Vundabar’s new album Smell Smoke is out next week, and so far, singles “Acetone” and “Diver” have felt like a pretty good summation of the sort of fuzz-drenched, far-reaching diversity that the band’s been mastering for years now. This week, the act has shared another new song that interpolates fellow Boston post-punks Mission of Burma and their 1981 classic “That’s When I Reach For My Revolver.” With updated lyrics taking aim at political elites, “Tonight I’m Wearing Silk” draws a connection between punk and hardcore’s long-standing hatred of Ronald Reagan and today’s resurgence of political themes, as the trio rush into a soaring, multi-tracked chorus to shout from the heavens and blast from the muddy car stereo, ears still ringing from the show.

Smell Smoke is out 2/23 via Gawk Records. Check out “Tonight I’m Wearing Silk” below.
