Xeno Primates' new single, "Underdog," is like a musical buffet where punk, ska, electronica, and dubstep got together for a wild shindig. Picture powerful guitar riffs and electronic beats doing the tango – that's the kind of eclectic fun we're talking about.
Lyrically, the song explores personal growth, asking the deep question: Do your groundbreaking life moments matter if the rest of the world is busy binge-watching cat videos? It's a musical existential crisis that promises more revelations when you hit play.
Formed in St. Petersburg, Russia, by the multi-talented Gleb Menshikov, Xeno Primates has a rap sheet that includes EPs like "Vodka" and "Break the Silence," plus a full-length album called "All Messed Up" that probably sums up their band meetings. Their influences range from literary heavyweights like George Orwell to musical oddballs like The Bloodhound Gang, creating a sound that's as serious as a penguin in a tutu – entertaining yet profound.
Currently chilling in Kyrgyzstan, the band is on a mission to drop singles like confetti in 2024. So, mark your calendar for January 19 and get ready to dance, contemplate life, or maybe both – Xeno Primates is here to soundtrack your whimsical existential journey.
