What frontman Captain A. J. Blackett has to say on Great Big F'n Pints:
"Great Big F'n Pints is the second single we've released this year. Much like the titular pints it's not just bigger than Fite Me! but greater too.
The main riff of the verses throws homage back to the thrash metal I listened to as a teenager blended with our own signature wonky style. Expect lots of big brass stabs, jolly accordion twiddles and the occasional steel drum plonking away in the background. As an Anchorsmashed first, we've got a spicy bouzouki solo from myself and a ripping shred up from The Bastian on guitar. There's even a Korg MS-20 in there somewhere for all you analogue synth nerds!
The lyrics, in case you haven't already guessed, are about drinking. As we were writing the song, The Bastian and I were thinking about all the wonderful alcoholic drinks we've had over the years. Before I knew it the verses were about what I won't drink and the choruses what I will drink. The chorus being a list of drinks was heavily inspired by the classic patter songs of Gilbert and Sullivan light operettas (yes, really). There's a whole smörgåsbord of boozy delights out there, but nothing quite satisfies this salty dog's thirst like a great big f'n pint. Cheers!"
