This song has received an add at either an alternative or active rock station each of the last three weeks, so I think it's safe to assume that this is their unofficial single off the Sandwich album released earlier this year. If you haven't heard this song yet, it's really funny and would be decently successful if Rock Ridge knew how to promote their artists better. Check it out: www.myspace.com/psychostick The song is only about 1:30 long.

This is horrible. It's not funny and is just yelling and swearing for no apparent reason. This is not my type of humor at all. Haha...women don't give good directions. Honestly though, I hate this band and don't think any of their stuff belongs on radio. They are a band and I use that term loosely that should just stick to concerts and selling albums to their fans. Being put on radio is as much to laugh at them as it to laugh at the song.

They're great musically and they put the whole "angsty nu-metal band" stereotype on its ear with their lyrics.

Love, love, love this song. Do I wish he had refrained from calling her a bitch in the chorus? Of course I do, but that's the only misstep in the song. The rest of it is a riot.

I don't they'd have a problem with you laughing at them instead of the song. They don't seem to take themselves too seriously. I think this song is genius. It's one of the few songs I've heard recently that I can honestly say relates to my everyday life. I'm disappointed in myself for not exploring their catalog further after "Beer". On their Myspace, I was impressed by "This is Not A Song, It's A Sandwich" and "#1 Single".

This song is FAR from genius. What's next? Chinese people can't drive? White people can't jump? Men watch sports on Sunday? For me this is just a waste of time and its about as funny as a blonde joke.

Yes, but what's funny about it is this isn't really a commonly pointed out stereotype, yet when girls hear this song, half of them go "Haha I do that!" And the slap bassline is awesome for what it's worth.

I know I'm a little passionate in my hate for this band. It's mostly because I've never heard one song from them that I've wanted to hear a second time except for #1 single and that's only because I actually like it musically. Otherwise I've never laughed at any of the lyrics. So that's where I'll leave it. Just not my cup of tea.
I do think the bassline is alright, its reminds me of Extreme's "Get The Funk Out"

It's okay not to have a sense of humor. Lots of people manage to live their lives just fine without one.

Yeah, its hard though, I go around scowling and giving a lot of people the finger. If I could ever just read facial expressions maybe I would one day understand this thing they call .... sarcasm

Sarcasm is an acquired taste, like fine wine.

Considering how much you loved "My Wena", I find it hard to believe you don't find any humor in "Beer!", "ABCDeath", or "Hokey Fuckin' Pokey".

This is as far removed from "not genius" as it gets. :).

Also, as much as I liked My Wena, I never thought it should be played on the radio. I'll be more honest in saying I don't really care for death metal-ish screaming and that's what this sounds like to me. It sounds like they are screaming while deep throating a pickle. I'm okay with "scream-o" but this is just annoying to me and again reminds me of The Bartender.

To me what makes Psychostick so hilarious in my mind is that they, to me at least, have obvious musical talent and they waste it on songs like this. That's the true beauty of the whole spectacle. This is what they're doing with their career.

The lead singer, guitarist, and drummer of Psychostick are in a more serious band together called Evacuate Chicago. They're pretty good: www.myspace.com/evacuatechicago I prefer Psychostick for the most part though. At least I find them more consistent.
