This Fuckin' Guy is a concept EP by avant-garde artist John S. Hall released on March 10, 2015 under the name of his band King Missile IV by Powertool Records.[1] The album has been made when King Missile was touring with American band LoveyDove.[2] Two of their members had joined Hall in the making of the album.[3]

Concept

The album is a regroupement of poetic texts about the beauty of the world's landscapes narrated by a character known as The Fuckin' Guy. He comments what he sees and how he feels about it while swearing and cursing non-stop. There are barely any lines in the EP without a curse word. The settings are mostly in the New York area.[4]

Blog

The character of The Fuckin' Guy was created by John S. Hall in 2014 in a blogspot account named This Fckin' Blog.[5] It contains other texts on other subjects in the same style. The blog went on hiatus a couple of months after the release of the EP, and resumed shortly after Donald Trump assumed the presidency.
