Pink Punk are a strange force. Both 'Advertising' and 'Controversy' are built on the basis of interesting concepts, but where both songs have a similar feel to them, both strike two very different sets of chords. Controversy is a 4:12 masterpiece of the electro-rock spectrum; throwing samples, beats and distorted guitar riffs here, there and everywhere, but when you feel like 'Controversy' can't be outshone in the unique category, 'Advertising' proves to be on a whole different level of overwhelmingly enjoyable music. The song combines samples from one of Bill Hicks' famous spoken word shows with some extremely interesting and provocative electro beats that are splashed across a canvas of distorted guitars and hip-hop-rock drum beats. Altogether it creates a sound so unique and musically diverse that youll want to listen to both songs over and over again, no matter what genre you usually consider for you.
Pink Punk will drag you in, and once your there; youre never going to escape the web of overall exuberance that they have created through both of these fantastic songs.
