Rickshaw Billie's Burger Patrol

Big Dumb Riffs

Ashburn

Rickshaw Billie&#39;s Burger Patrol is a Doom-Wop band formed in Austin, TX in 2017. 

“Our catalog has never been short on big dumb riffs, but the idea on this record was to really turn the screw,” says RBBP bassist Aaron Metzdorf. On Big Dumb Riffs, that screw is cranked incredibly tight. 

“We just wanted ‘the part’: The opening of Pantera’s ‘Primal Concrete Sledge’, the breakdown in Primus&#39; ‘Pudding Time’ — the shit that makes you move and lose your mind. Just that part the whole time.”

Across 11 concise, taut songs — most clocking in around 2 minutes or less — Rickshaw Billie’s Burger Patrol demonstrates their skillful ability to blend the merciless low end of Leo Lydon’s 8-string guitar, Aaron Metzdorf’s masterful chordwork on the bass, and Sean St.Germain’s driving drumming. 

Hot on the heels of their breakout 5th studio release Doom Wop (2023), Rickshaw Billie’s Burger Patrol returns with Big Dumb Riffs: A whole new variant of the fuzzed out, overdriven, melodic, groovy music they have been making since 2016. While Big Dumb Riffs is decidedly more aggressive and rhythmic, it still retains the overtly melodic feel of Doom Wop. But Leo Lydon’s vocals are considerably more angry and negative (song titles like “1-800-EAT-SHIT” and “Body Bag” should be a clue.) 

“Being a dingus is crucial to the groove. All these riffs were designed to allow us to act bigger and dumber on stage.”

The Burger Patrol's tonal landscape is largely attributed to their fuzzed-out eight-string guitars, an asset still largely untapped outside the realm of progressive heavy metal. Rickshaw Billie's Burger Patrol taps into a "genus" of rock styles in an age where overtly computerized music has sucked out the raw euphony of rock and roll aggression. 


I don’t understand how this band has not blown TF up yet

So nice to see someone else&#39;s head flying through space for a change

!GodDAMN! this band grooves so hard. It&#39;s like Doom Metal had an affair with Glam Rock, but the baby came out playing a guitar instead of looking like Kuato.

This track fucking rips. The last minute is straight barn burner shit. Just realized it was now on Spotify. Hyped on the whole album so far.

Actual representation of what it feels like to listen to RBBP.  Sick video boys and girls!

This has been my anthem for the past few months.  Too bad they didn&#39;t play this when I saw them in Chicago a couple nights ago.  They only had a 45 minute set but it was still amazing!! Awesome, friendly dudes too!

"Grease Beast" OUT NOW!

https://ampl.ink/WLjep

"Grease Beast" is the third installment from the gang at Rickshaw Billie's Burger Patrol following up last year's EP "Beef”(2018). Menacing buzzsaw guitar rips channeled in uniformity with hulking bass and massively colossal percussion. 
All this served in combo with Leo Lydon's high-end fervid and frenzied vocals, this EP digs deep into the burger boys' expedition searching their darker sides and what it truly means to (albeit sometimes reluctantly) give in to that perpetual growling in all of our heads wanting it all and demanding it now. Ready or not, here comes the "Grease Beast".
