Boston-based outfit Adios Fatso have officially unleashed their latest single, ‘Gopro, Not Again!’, and it’s an absolute banger. This high-octane track is a thrilling two-minute burst of cathartic energy that perfectly captures the modern frustration of tech failure, especially when your action camera gives up the ghost at the worst possible moment.
Fronted by the prolific songwriter Sir-Ken Celli, the song fuses the gritty punch of punk with the infectious hooks of indie rock. It’s noisy, fun, and borders on being genuinely mainstream thanks to its undeniable catchiness. Yet, it retains that raw, inventive spirit Adios Fatso fans love. The track packs a dizzying amount of musical detail into its short runtime, driven by blazing guitars and a relentlessly energetic rhythm section. The song’s massive, shouted “Woah-oh-oh-oh” vocal hook is an instant earworm, leading into a truly blistering guitar solo that wraps things up and leaves you desperate for more.
The band certainly knows how to make a spectacle of a release, marking the single’s debut with a monumental live event at the historic Capitol Theatre in Arlington, MA. The atmosphere was nothing short of explosive as the theatre was packed for a full-band performance and the premiere of the track’s animated music video. This cinematic feast brings the chaos, humour, and spirit of the band to life, showcasing iconic Boston landmarks like the Citgo sign, the Prudential Tower, O’Brien’s Pub, the Lynch Family Skatepark, and the Zakim Bridge. The night was a huge success, capturing a rush of energy that has since surged onto YouTube, where the video continues to find an enthusiastic audience.
‘Gopro, Not Again!’ follows their critically acclaimed earlier single, ‘WTF’, which earned high praise for its razor-sharp lyrics. Once again, Adios Fatso proves they have a unique talent for transforming real-world intensity and angst into something smart, emotionally resonant, and genuinely funny.
The track’s punchy, restless sound is no accident. It was expertly mixed and mastered at the legendary Blasting Room in Fort Collins, Colorado, by a dream team: Andrew Berlin (known for his work with Descendents and Rise Against) and Jason Livermore (who has worked with punk stalwarts like NOFX and Lagwagon). This production pedigree is clear in the final product, giving the single its crisp power and exceptional clarity.
Don’t miss out on this frantic, hilarious, and musically accomplished track. The new single, ‘Gopro, Not Again!’, is streaming everywhere now, and the vibrant music video is live on YouTube. For more, be sure to connect with the band on Instagram, TikTok, and Bandcamp.
