Royal Octopus Canal is the fifth single from The Margaret Hooligans upcoming fourth album, ThunderHole Rock n’ Roll. Royal Octopus Canal is a gritty break up song, the bastard child of Patti Smith and Bikini Kill. It is an anguished lament, where Cratty bemoans what went wrong while roiling electric ukulele slide riffs and pounding drums rival her turmoil. While Cratty’s vocals often temper the harshness of the distorted strings and drums, in this case she growls along like a wounded animal to greater effect.
