At first I was going to set this one aside, but a closer look made me curious if this was actually a spastic Primus-like band. They are certainly different, but not quite like Primus. Bearded Weirdo is kind of like a dark heavy alternative quirky band. They aren’t spastic, just different. There is also obviously a little funk here as well. They tried to do the Extreme thing of “replace a certain F-word with ‘funk’,” but it still sounds like they are cussing most times. It’s a pretty cool song, though
