Musically, the song begins with a reggae-rock vibe typical of The Police and The Clash, building a vibrant beat and providing the track a rebellious attitude. Moog-inspired elements provide a retro electronic taste to the composition, making for a unique contrast with the natural rock guitars. When the chorus arrives, the song changes to a classic-rock sound with obvious 1970s influences, making the arrangement feel bigger and more anthemic but maintaining its original rhythmic personality. However, the reggae-rock rhythm is what truly makes &#8220;FatCats&#8221; enjoyable. The groove is uplifting and simply encourages you to dance to the music, while the dynamic arrangement keeps the political and social aware message approachable without becoming excessively heavy-handed. The Refusers integrate a protest-rock mentality with a feel-good musical approach, resulting in a song that allows the listener to dance, enjoy the catchy melodies, and still receive the message about unfairness and a system that appears to favour those at the top.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-embed-aspect-4-3 wp-has-aspect-ratio wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"FatCats\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/VPEtp1_XhM8?start=184&amp;feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>According to the band, &#8220;FatCats&#8221; is a call to arms for anyone who believes that&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":31126,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"nf_dc_page":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[14,5],"tags":[226,414,5187],"class_list":["post-31562","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-pop-rock-reviews","category-reviews","tag-classic-rock","tag-reggae","tag-the-refusers"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/31562","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=31562"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/31562\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":31565,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/31562\/revisions\/31565"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/31126"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=31562"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=31562"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=31562"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
