As raw and rough as a tiger's tongue, garage rock 'n' roll duo Cannibal Daydream's recent release 'Baby, Can't You Feel My Sickness?' is a veritable slug in the guts. I loved the honesty from them that it sounds like it was "recorded on a TI-83 calculator" and that endearing comment made me enjoy it even more.
Mikey Isaac Peregrino and Miguel de Santiago formed Cannibal Daydream, in the Fall of 2025, after a chance meeting when they noticed both were wearing matching Danzig shirts. They say "A demo tape was recorded, lives were ruined, and now here we are..."
The band say the song itself is about "a scorpion woman who sucked the soul outta my body and it hurt" - and they certainly convey that with the stabbing percussion and stinging guitars. The last time I heard the lyrics "I wanna hold your hand" it came out of the mouths of the wearisome Fab Four. This time it seems that Cannibal Daydream have taken the sentiment of the mop-top frivolity and turned it into something a touch more rancid. For the greater good, I must add.
In these times of slick production and perfectly orchestrated presentation, 'Baby, Can't You Feel My Sickness?' is a welcome remedy. Slap it on!
