CAN'T STOP TALKING share the single Cool People Are Arseholes

CAN'T STOP TALKING have released a single called Cool People Are Arseholes, a fast, funny piece of dance-punk that goes after people who take themselves too seriously.

The East London band revolves around the brothers Jamie Autorino, who sings, and Daniel Autorino on guitar, with Hannah Pemberton on bass and Luca Volpi on drums. Their sound puts jagged guitars against hard electronic beats, and Clash rates them highly as a live act.

The band explained the target directly. The song takes aim at the way people try to manufacture a personality out of clothes, brands and whatever is fashionable that week, and at the effort of looking detached and effortlessly cool when there may be little underneath it.

They were careful to say the song is not written from above it all. The line about not being able to leave it is an admission that the band are caught in the same world they are laughing at, which keeps the joke from turning into a lecture.

That mix of humour and momentum is what the group has built its reputation on. Clash describes the live show as a blast of colour and virtuosity with lyrics funny enough to carry the room, and the single is written to work the same way in a small venue.

Cool People Are Arseholes is logged on the release calendar. The band's collision of guitars and machines puts them on the border between rock and electronic, which is a busy stretch of East London at the moment. The small-room infrastructure around them has been in the news too, with the Spitz returning to Old Spitalfields Market.
