FEET PICS, the heavy rock and roll sleaze outfit from South City, St. Louis, MO, has dropped their latest album SELF NEGLECT, a raucous seven-track collection that feels like a soundtrack for a dirty life in a dirty city. These anthems pulse with gritty defiance, speaking directly to anyone who’s ever lived through the chaos of modern existence—and survived it. Recorded at Phil’s Basement, with mixing and mastering by Brandon Hoffman, the album delivers raw, unfiltered energy, giving you the feeling of being right in the Basement with the band as they tear it up.
The album’s theme is clear: it’s a battle cry for the broken, the disillusioned, and those who’ve learned to navigate life in the messiest of ways. It’s about the grind, the struggle, and the acceptance that, sometimes, you’ve got to live with the dirt if you want to survive.
Tracks like Alcoholic Depression (opening track) dive deep into the despair of self-doubt and the suffocating grip of mental illness, where hope seems as distant as the light at the end of the tunnel. The lyrics speak to that inner war, with a heavy, throaty delivery that pulls you into the void of hopelessness. It’s dark, it’s intense, and it’s real.
Impermanence is all about the constant, cyclical nature of life, where nothing stays in place and everything eventually falls apart. It’s a punk anthem about pushing through when you feel like giving up, acknowledging the ugliness of existence but refusing to give in to it. The driving riffs in this track are a perfect match for the message: relentless and raw, just like life itself.
And the last track Project 100,000, which shifts to a more political tone, critiquing the military-industrial complex and the callous manipulation of young lives for war. The brutal imagery of soldiers as mere “cannon fodder” and the raw reality of what it means to be discarded in the name of politics are delivered with scathing intensity.
FEET PICS are telling a story of survival against the odds, of living in a world that doesn’t always make sense but still finding a way to endure. It’s a dirty, rebellious, and unapologetically take on the human condition, with riffs that’ll stick in your brain long after the album ends.
The kind of rock and roll that doesn’t care if it’s clean or pretty, it just wants to scream its truth into the void.
