Cape Town-based band Nastiriff is set to shake the foundations of rock with their debut release, “Suck It.” Infusing Riot Riff Rock with a blend of humor and rage, Nastiriff delivers an unapologetic anthem that embodies defiance and empowerment.
“Suck It” is not just a song; it’s an attitude. With its obnoxious, provocative, and aggressive lyrics, the track encourages listeners to confront negativity head-on and embrace a carefree outlook on life.
Inspired by the rebellious spirit of John Lynch’s “This Is My United States of Whatever,” lead singer Gavin Willmers sought to capture a similar feeling in his own unique way.
Gavin Willmers from Nastiriff comments on the songwriting process
“I think I just needed to say, ‘fuck you, I’m done with your kak and I really, really don’t care about you’ But in a funny way.”
