"This is cool, i just was looking for a video of mordecai and rigby xd" is one of the top comments on the YouTube page for RiGBY's debut single "Daisy." I'm unsure if the band's name is a genius marketing tactic aimed at unassuming fans of Regular Show, but it hardly matters. The Twin Cities quartet comes roaring out the gates with a song that will draw you in, regardless of whether you're into slacker cartoons or not.
"Daisy" has been a long time coming. For the past two years, the only ways to experience RiGBY's music was to catch one of their many live shows or to download their free demos off of Bandcamp. Their murder-fantasy of a lead single finally came crashing into existence earlier this month.
Drawing equally from the annals of punk history and from contemporary bands you might find on Epitaph, "Daisy" is a song best played at ear-splitting volumes. It's gloriously feral music that would instantly generate a mosh pit if played for a group of more than ten people. Plus, the lead riff sorta sounds like Motörhead's "Ace of Spades" — I wouldn't be surprised if I heard a RiGBY song on a future iteration of the Tony Hawk's Pro Skater series. Suffice to say, it absolutely rips.
Listen to "Daisy" below.

Last but certainly not least, RiGBY's debut album We're Dying will be out on May 8th, 2021. Check out the cover art below.
