Rungs – I Don't Wanna Hug! I Just Wanna Cum!

Album Review by Ross Watson | 11 Mar 2013
Album title: I Don't Wanna Hug! I Just Wanna Cum!
Artist: Rungs
Label: It's A Stiff!
Release date: Out Now

This new band formed by the remaining members of Take a Worm For a Walk Week (and fronted by Project: Venhell vocalist Hines) will be instantly familiar to old fans; their first set of songs essentially play out as a quartet of perverted mini-nightmares, complete with barbed guitar riffs and manic, nonsensical patter.

It's as daft as you'd expect, but despite the childish, intentionally messy nature of songs with titles like Square Sausage and Hutchie Belt Wank, there's a surprising amount of melody scattered across these eight minutes which will no doubt prompt more jiving than moshing when they hit Sleazys with fellow noise merchants Divorce this month. Hopefully this is just a small taste of the pandemonium we can expect from their debut LP, which we hear is already in the works.
