Fcukers, Beatback | Song Review

Electronic band Fcukers (no, your eyes don’t deceive you) bring the heat on “Beatback,” a single and the opening track from their debut album, Ö.

Woo! Sometimes, a bold band name signifies bold, fierce, and unapologetic music.  When you see the name Fcukers (Shanny Wise and Jackson Walker Lewis), you most definitely want to cuss a bi-otch out! Sure, the electronic band transposed letters, but the effect is the same.  While “Beatback”, the song at hand, is far less naughty than that implied f-bomb of the band’s name, it is still a bold, fierce, and satisfying.  “Beatback” is the opener from Fcukers’ 2026 debut album, Ö (yes, the umlaut is necessary). Lewis, Wise, Dylan Brady, Kenneth Blume, and Lily Kaplan wrote “Beatback.” Lewis, Wise, Brady, and Kenny Beats produced it.

Word. “Beatback” begins with enigmatic, rhythmic sounds. The intensity gradually picks up, capped off by the entrance of Wise’s breathy vocals.  Those vocals, by the way, are a surefire vibe. As the song progresses, it grows more assertive and energetic – the instruments dig in even more. Sleekly produced, the beat is sick, the synths sizzle, and the rhythm is electrifying.  Notably, there are only three sections: verse, chorus (both of which are repeated), and an outro. All told, there is NO WAY that you listen to “Beatback” and don’t move some part of your body.  This brief number is a dance bop!
