The Consultants, a dynamic alt-rock four-piece hailing from Venice, Italy, burst onto the scene in 2013 after a wild night of partying gave birth to what would become one of Italy’s most exciting indie rock acts. Combining raw punk energy with irresistibly catchy rhythms, the band has carved out a unique space in the alt-rock landscape, blending gritty rebellion with infectious hooks that fill dance floors across Europe.
Ah, Workaholics, is their debut album, dropped just on October 11, 2024, and it’s a real treat. With 12 tracks packed full of satirical takes on the daily grind, this album hits close to home for anyone who’s felt the crushing weight of a soul-sucking 9-to-5. Tommaso really lays it all out there – his frustration with the monotony of work life practically oozes from every lyric. If you’ve ever stared at the clock, waiting for the day to end, you’re gonna relate to this one.
Musically, don’t expect wild, explosive punk riffs or crazy bass solos. The Consultants keep it fresh and simple, with catchy punk-rock guitars and rhythms that call back to the likes of the Buzzcocks, X, and even a bit of The Strokes. It’s stripped down, easy on the ears, and perfect for blasting when you’re daydreaming about telling your boss off.
Speaking of which, MY BOSS IS AN ASSHOLE is definitely a favourite. It’s an anthem for every office worker who’s ever had a boss they wanted to scream at – you’ll find yourself chanting along in no time.
In the end, Workaholics is a punch to the gut of the modern work culture. It’s not just music; it’s the soundtrack of every frustrated worker’s inner rebellion.
For anyone who’s fed up with the workweek hamster wheel, give this a listen – it might just become your soundtrack to surviving the daily hustle!
