"Drain The Blood" - Distillers (Coral Fang)
Oh yea! Actual rock music. There's some chunky, Fu Manchu-esque rhythm guitar, active & supportive bass and...a bridge where everybody drops out so that the intro riff can set the tone for an honest to goodness guitar solo! What a rare thing these days.
The 'funny' thing about this tune is that the chorus is so much fun...while the lyrics:
All my friends are murder
All my bones are marrows in
All these fiends want teenage meat
All my friends are murderers
...are not.
