Otis? Who the hack is Otis?! Well, it have a story. I'm not really into EBM music, I think it's far too linear, but I have a few favorites and one of them is the semi-obscure BiGod 20. On them "Supercute" album - a brilliant one! - from 1994 they have a song called "Plug It In, Otis". So, that where Otis comes from without any other (musical) connection to BiGod 20.
On the other hand Liquido have a song called "Mr. Officer" and there is a line with that "Bang Your Head" and somehow it remains on my brain.
This is a clean, almost conservative and traditional (Post) Metal song, nice verses and strong refrain, a fake guitar solo and cool lyrics.
The synthesizes reminds me The Stranglers. Not really accidentally, I admit it.
This may not be revolutionary, but I still love it.

lyrics

Bang Your Head

Running out of fuel, running out of roads
Running out of questions, running out of thoughts,
Running out of answers, running out of pills,
Running out of bullets, running out of thrills…

Bang Your Head
Bang your head, bang your head, bang.
Bang Your Head.

Running out of girls, running out of boys,
Running out of friends, running out of toys,
Running out of feelings, running out of beer,
Running out of dreams, I’m running out of here.

Running out of fire, running out of rain,
Running out of sugar, running out of pain,
Running out of sea, running out of sun,
Running out of money, running out of fun…

about

Mr. Pan[k]sament Romania

I ended up at the microphone of a garage punk-rock band back in 1988 by mistake and fortune, and ever since, I've been "doing" music one way or another with different bands, projects or on my own. I played piano, bass, and some drums and learned to work with computers, samplers, and midi controllers.
I use Propellerhead's Reason, an Alesis keyboard, an Oxygen 8 midi-controller and the Reaper. ... more
