"Godzilla" is the first single to be taken from the new album by The Veronicas titled "Godzilla". Reuniting with their first ever producer Toby Gad, they've delivered a massive audio orgy of screamed out verses reminiscent of Shampoo and Dream Wife, a blistering sonic grungy guitar riff borrowed from Hole's "Celebrity Skin" and topped with some 80's keyboards looming over the soundscape.
Just when I was fearing that The Veronicas were going to head down the dreaded dumper of pop and rock music with their last batch of EDM oriented singles failing to crack the Top 50, along comes this one where they both stick their middle fingers up to the Establishment saying "We're back motherfuckers, and this is what you all really wanted!!"
Sure, Jess and Lisa have matured over the last 10 years but the old wildness and sheer adrenaline inducing energy of their rock'n'roll days which endeared me to them is still intact.
Definitely a must-have.
5/5. And extra kudos to the video where they're looking brazenly hawt in black vinyl bodysuits!
