Rednecks gone wild, revisited
To celebrate three decades of Beers, Steers and Queers, industrial/punk band Skatenigs has recorded a rendition of the Revolting Cocks classic, releasing the track via SoundCloud. Referred to by the band as “partially a trip down memory lane and part rednecks gone wild revisited in a strange new world where nothing seems normal,” Skatenigs front man Phil Owen co-wrote the song with Al Jourgensen and sang on the original track, once again delivering a powerhouse performance on this new 2020 version; as Skatenigs have performed several different version of the song throughout its tenure, Owen explains, “We trimmed the fat and kept the meat” with the new version. Alongside the Skatenigs lineup of Owen with bassist Myke Bingham, keyboardist Adam Lamar, co-producer Chris Ahrens, and drummer Bradley Bills (also of CHANT) is guitarist “Mike members Chris Connelly and Paul Barker following the departure of original Cock Richard “23” Jonckheere (Front 242).
Several past members of the band have performed and toured under the moniker of The Cocks, while Al Jourgensen carried on releasing albums under the banner of Revolting Cocks; he is reportedly working on a new album for the band.
