Review: Sexbruise? Debuts New Single & Music Video for “Ford Taurus”
Sexbruise? has just presented to the world their latest single AND music video for their hit single, “Ford Taurus”! Like Sexbruise? says, “When I pull up to the club in my Ford Taurus, all the ladies want some.” Per the band’s bio, Sexbruise “is a satirical pop quartet” that hails from Charleston, S.C., and is most notable for their unique blend of improv, pop ladened (and very catchy) hooks, energetic live shows, electronica, and even a dash of funk for good measures. Sexbruise? consists of Julie Slonecki, Stratton Moore, John Pope, and Will Evans.

Think Cherub meets Chromeo meets Little Stranger, and you can maybe then describe the awesomeness that is “Ford Taurus”. Once I started this video, I noticed actor Tony Cavalero (best known for his portrayal of Keefe Chambers on HBO’s The Righteous Gemstones) and I instantly knew that this was going to be a fun ride. Plus, add some funky saxophone with some provocative lyrics to the mix… well then it is definitely dancing time. Just like their live shows, this song is energizing and funky from start to finish. If you aren’t bopping your head after listening to this track, check your pulse. The hook is very memorable and blends well with Julie’s soulful intro and John’s rhyme time surprise. This has to be a real treat to witness live at one of their shows!
When asked about the inspiration for “Ford Taurus”, John Pope (drums/lyrical wordsmith) said “When I was in college I drove a Hyundai Sonata. The car in the song was inspired by this car and my roommate’s Ford Taurus, which was also pretty shitty. I found ‘Ford Taurus’ to flow much more smoothly off the tongue than ‘Hyundai Sonata”.
